March" the bridal party came into the
parIor where Elder Nicholson. in a
short. pretty and appropriate ceremony
united the couple for life's journey
closing the service by slipping hand
some diamond ring on the finger of the

and sincere congratulations followed as
the bride was we'll known and greatly
esteemed by every one present, and the
groom was an old friend OF nearly all.
Congratulations being over and the
crowd becoming seated, from mysteri-
GUS corners several small tables were
produced, and in few moments, be-

strong coffee; next came salads. turkey

manner in which it was served added
relish to it. Each guest was profuse in
complimenting the refreshments.
