BRIDES parents, just south of Far
Der, Audrain county. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. J. D.
Biggs, cousin of the bride and pas
tor of the Baptist Church at Bow
ling Green, Mo. The ceremony
was short and impressive and neat
ly worded The bride and groom

tional black. The attendants were

| crepe, low neck,S pearls, long
sleeves and demi train; ]. M.

in silver braid and cream silk
with demi train. The groom is the
eldest son of Sheriff Adams, of this
county, and is one of Audrain's
most prosperous and steady young
farmers and stock raisers. The
bride is most lovable young lady
and accomplished, having been edu-
Gated at Hardin College in this city,
and most popular with all who
know her. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams
very sensibly postponed their we'd
ding trip until Christmas, when
they will take an extensive tour
visiting relatives. They came at
once to Mexico, where they moved
to the residence of Mr.. Adams, on
his fine farm just northeast of Mex.
ico. The wedding was very quiet,
but splendid affair. In addition
to the relatives of the bride, there
were present only a few intimate
friends of the groom. Those who
were there from Mexico were DR..
Adams, uncle of the groom, VIII
liam, James and Homer Adams,
brothers of the groom, Simon Phil
lip, S. B. Cook, editor of the Mex
leo Intelligeaacer, and R. M. White,
editor of the LEDGER. The dis
play of presents was unusually ap-
propriate, showing that they had
been carefully selected, many of
them being very costly. The we'd
ding supper was simply magnifi-
cent, as all present amply attested.
The bridal party arrived from
Farber this afternoon and V1re
rendered reception and dinner at
the residence Of the groom's parents
Mr.. and Mrs. George Adams.
THE BIGas HOMESTEAD.
The wedding took place at the
elegant retidence of Mr.. M. R. K.
Biggs, father of the bride, which is
located in the southern suburbs of
Farber, on one of the largest, best
arranged and best managed stock
farms in Missouri. The Biggs' are
not only among the largest and
most extensive stock raisers in
Missouri, but are prominent in
politics throughout the State, hav-
ing large connections and influ.
ence. Mr.. Biggs owns several farms
10 this part of Missouri, but the
one on which he resides is thor
oughly equipped for raising fine
horses and stock of all kinds. The
Biggs', like the Harrisons, believe
in buying the best and breeding up.
Mr.. Biggs has now on his farm,
although he has just had large
sale, some of the best bred trot-
ting and saddle horses in the coun-
try, and he owns what are consid-
cred the best jacks in the State.
He is also an extensive dealer in
cattle and is now feeding over 100
head, which will be exported. Mr..
Biggs, as is plainly seen from his
! arrangements to feed and care for
stock, believes IN comfort for his
animals, as well as to himself and
family. The editor of this paper
was never more impressed with the
fact that farming and stock raising
Can not Only be made to pay, but
pay handsomely, and be not only q
satisfaction, but pleasure to those
who participate in it.
