with This Ring, I Do Thee Wed"

a. Suo u. r. cnurcn, thursday, Marcn
II, 1892. at half past four O'Clock, p. m,
the beautiful ceremony was performed by
Rev. Ct. w. Rich, which united in mar
rage Edwin A. Rea and Miss Lille M.
Harrison.
The service. which was most beautiful
and impressive. was that of the NJ. E..
church with the addition of a ring. and
was performed under marriage bell''
composed of rarely beautiful roses, and
OF the most artistic and elegant design.
The bride was richly and handsomely
attired in white silk. The groom wore
the conventional black.
At the close of the ceremony, the
bridal party and large congregation pres
ent repaired to the residence of the
brides parents where the reception was
held, and after hearty and earnest con-
CALCULATIONS, an elegant supper was
served. The happy couple departed on
the evening train for Kansas City, where
they will spend their honeymoon among
relatives and then return and commence
housekeeping in Wa-Keeney, which will be
their future home.
The bride has grown to womanhood IN
Trego county, having lived here the
greater portion of her life and is, there
fore, we'll known and we speak without
exaegeration when we say that she is
universally esteemed and respected by
young and old alike. Her genial dispo
sition, kindness, and accomplishments
have made her general favoIite in Wa
Keeney society.
The groom is court stenographer for
this judicial district and one of the very
best in the state. He has also been ad-
mitted to practice law in the district
courts of Kansas, and has been, during
court vacations, employed in the o. s.
land Office at this place. Diring resi-
pence of several years in this city he has
made many friends and, we believe, no
enemies. He is honest, industrious,
capable; in brief an exemplary young
man in every regard, and one whose
natural and acquired ability makes his
future success in life present certainty.
If marriage is lottery, as given out by
cynics, then in this instance each has
drawn capital prize. We congratulate
both on their mutual choice and are con-
fdent that if fifty years hence they are
spared to celebrate their golden wedding
the evidence will be indisputable that
marriage is not failure" Certainly
for them life seems cloudless and bright.
That their relations, so auspiciously be-
gun may continue through long, happy
and useful life is the earnest wish of their
many friends.
