last night, in honor of the marriage
Of their daughter, Miss Jennie A. to
Mr.. L. A. Peterson. Long before the
hour set for the ceremony to be per-
formed the guests of the evening be-
gan to arrive and crowded the house
TO its full capacity, each one anxious
10 be present when the contracting

At exactly eight o'clock, to the
plaving OF the wedding march by Miss
Maggie Hughes, the couple entered
the parlor from an adjoining room
and in a few short minutes Rev. j. G.
Jones, pastor Of the Welsh church, had
Joined them as one.
The bride is a decided brunette and
gore gown of cream crepe,
trimmed with rich oriental lace and
bunch of fragrant roses. She is well
known in this city as a pleasant con-
versationalist, charming companion
and those who know her well say she

OF years she attended our public
schools and was considered well up in
her studies.
The groom is also we'll known. haY-
ing been associated in the business as
we'll as the social world for some
time. He is a young man Of much
ability and on his return from the
wedding tour. which will include Chi
cago. we are confident of seeing his
familiar face in the store where he
has been proprietor for time. After
the ceremony a collation. was served
to about two hundred guests. The
: presents were numerous and will be
appreciated still more when the couple
make their own home on their return
