The marriage Of Malcolm Mclean
aud Miss Naomi E. Smith, 1t the
residence Of the brides parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Macum Smith, last Wednes-
day evening, Was an event Of unusual
interest to the denizens Of that camp,
and was attended by nearly al whoI
we're not at the mine or mill At the
hour when the ceremony was per
formed The residence OF Mr. and
Mrs. Smith was fitted up in attractive
style. Chinese lanterns and ! pro-
fusion Of brilliant flowers gerani-
ums, fuchsias aud various ether beauti-
fol varieties adding 10 the general
effect in no small degree Every
thing connected with the wedding
and the festivities of the event was
frst-cIass for small mountain min
ing camp. After the happy couple
were pronounced husband and wife
BY Rev. J. n. Barton congratulations
were offered in q manner that evi-
denced sincere wishes for the happi-
ness and prosperity of the newly
welded couple, and after this the
solemnitIes OF the occasion vanished
and very properly gave place TO :
reign of merriment and fsasting-
The bride was the FIRST to break the
| ice of sober seriousness and conse-
quent digni6ed reserve that such oc-
casions produce. One of the guests
sought to gently break small hole
for the initiatorv entrance of the
spirit OF merriment and lead the
guests from one extreme to che other
by gradual degree. He arose, and in
a rather serious manner advised the
boys present to follow the example
set by their friend Malcolm, and pro-
eeed to pop the great question that
has been so continuously and success
fully popped since the halcyon fruit
gathering days Of Adam and Eve,
and even then was being popped al
every tick OF the clock in some part
Iof the great globe we live on. He
eloquently stated that two cannot be
come one without first going through
/ the trying ordeal of popping as afore
said, and after two become one, com
pensation for the reduction is found
in the mathematical rule of multiplI
cation. He pointed to Malcolm
whose whole bearing exhibited
courage as brave as lion, and said
Look at Malcolm- happy in the pos
session of beautiful, loving ans
worthy BRIDE. Paint heart ne'er wol
fair lady. II his heart had beel
faint we would not be celebratin:
. this happy event and rejoicing owe
the fact that these two hearts nov
beat as one" As the speaker gre,
eloquent all but the bride listene'
seriously. Her large blue eyes wer
noticed to sparkle as her countenanc
lit up with spirit of mirthfulnes
J which soon found expression in
= ringing laugh, and the reason wa
: made plain when the bride state
: that Malcolm didn't have courage (
pop the aforesaid question, and tha
: if she hadn't taken advantage OF lea
} year it was more than probable b
would never have emerged from th
Il lone state of bachelorhood. Thi
brought forth happy aud rousing al
plause. Malcolm made no attemE
to impeach the truthfulness of th
: testimony. The bride then made
few pointed remarks, addressed
y the girls, and said that the fellow
were not nearly so brave as the
le would like to have credit for hein,
and advised the young ladies preser
TO to follow her example. Her pointe
remarks had a more telling efe'
y than the eloquent sentences of Il
$ first speaker. 1t was soon evidel
IN that the sentiment of everybody pre-
ent was seat, drink and be merr
for tomorrow we NAV be unable
n go on shift when the whistle blows
is Not only the Bannerites, but many
Ia the friends of the couple from Ida
