tended
Mr.. T. NJ. Nichol and Miss Louie

Wednesday last at $50, at the home of
the brides father. Mr.. Nichol is son
of Hon. T. NJ. Nichol, of this township,
and Miss Campbell is a daughter of Mr..

well and sfayorably known, and the

spected and influential families. Rev.

mony in his characteristic happy man
ner, and everything pertaining to the
pleasant occasion was in the most cor
rect taste, and was fully enjoyed by the
large number of guests present. The
usual good wishes of many friends are
expressed in their behalf.
Mrs. "Nancy" McCaskey, for many
years respected citizen of Wheeling
township, died at her home in New
Athens recently. We did not learn the
particulars of her death. This notice
will reach many who remember her as a
Christian woman, good neighbor and
SympathiZing friend.
As many of the readers of THE
CHRONICLE are personally acquainted
with that popular holel, the "New Nc
Lure, in Wheeling, they will be inter
ested to read of the happy state of af-
fairs which existed at that comfortable
hOstlery during the holiday season. Col.
Sam Harrison Che of the auburn locks,
model Hotel Clerk and "prince of
good fellows" was presented with fine
gold watch and chain by the guests of
the Hotel as token of their apprecia-
ton of his many good qualities. While
this racket was going on in the parlor,
and Sam busy responding in his usual
humorous manner, the walters in the
dining room had cornered R. H. Grant,
head waiter, and loaded him down with
the most appropriate and costly gifts.
Word was also brought to Mr.. Grant
that he had been awarded fine gold
watch and chain, contested for by a
gentleman from Bellaire, two from Mar
tins Ferry and himself. This proved
that Mr.. Grant is popular everywhere,
and that his pleasant and obliging man.
ners are. duly appreciated. AS head
waiter he may be equaled but never ex-
celled. May the New Y ear continue.
Mrs. Alice Lodge entertained the
members of her Sabbath school class
in handsome manner at her pleasant
home on New Years day. An elegant
dinner was provided, and every effort
made to administer to their happiness
and comfort. The boys are loud in
their expressions of praise and thanks
for the generous and kindly manner in
which they were entertained by Mr.. and
Mrs. Lodge.
On New Years day we received as a
pleasant surprise box of beautiful roses
and other flowers, the gift of Mrs. a. E.
Smith of Oakland, Cal. They were
plucked from the bushes and packed,
and some of them were in fair condi-
ton after their long journey. Mr.. Smith
and family were for many years resi-
dents of this place, removing to Cali
fornia October last. They are delight
ed with their new home.
Rev. Patterson, who preached from
the pulpit of the L. z. Church on Sab
bath last, will continue for three Sab
baths. He has favorably impressed the
congregation who are hoping soon to
secure a settled pastor.
Mr.. Frank Hicks, who has been en-
plOyed in the mills at Bellaire, returned
home on account of serious illness
Frank is an industrious youngman who
will regret exceedingly having to take
an enforced vacation.=Mrs. Eva Shat
fer, of Smithffeld, has been visiting her
sister, Mrs. Watkins, of this village, for
several weeks.-Miss Hicks, of Denni-
son, came down on Wednesday, to pass
a few days at her mothers home in
town.
On New Years day Mr.. and Mrs. JAS
Bell invited some of their near relatives
to enjoy the day and partake of dinner
with them. Some four or five families |
were represented, and of course the oc-
casion was a pleasant one, and the din
ner all that could be desired in the way
of elegance and bountiful provision.
