n 1mhN161s
One of the most brilliant social
events of the season was that of the
marriage of Mr.. IOues e. Baker and
Miss Cynthia e. Towers, which took
place ut the residence of the BRIDES
parents ten miles northwest of this
city last evening.
These young people are well and
fayorably known; the groom is a ire
man on the Missouri Pacific railroad
and runs from HoisingtOn to Horace.
The bride is one of Barton county's
most attractive and accomplished young
ladies, having been a successful school
teacher sin the public schools. MIR.
Baker is to be congratulated upon his
good fortune in winning for life
partner one of the fairest daughters of
the sunfower state. A large number
of guests had been invited to witness
the nuptials and participate in this
most enjoyable occasion. About 6
O'Clock the guests began to arrive from
all parts of the county and were
heartily welcomed to the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs Towers and soon
both parlor and lawn presented one of
the happieSt scenes ever looked upon.
There were gay young 1assies and gal
liant 1addies who Wed with one another
in pleasing smiles and bewitching looks,
and all strove to make it an occasion
long to be remembered.
By and by, the time having arrived
for the words" to be said which would
weld two happy hearts, about two hum
dred guests formed themselves in a
circle upon the beautiful lawn, and as
twilight began to veil the earth and
give rich mellOwness to all scenery,
Mr.. and Miss Hall, those noted musi-
clans, struck up the wedding march.
Then came the bridal procession from
the house, led by Miss Cobun followed
by Mr.. Ed. Baker and Miss Rena
Towers, brother and sister of the bride
and groom, followed by the two, soon
| to be made one; and as they marched
through the lawn, keeping step to the
music. in the twilight hour, it may be
truthfully said that the scene was sub
| lime, grand. Rev. r. A. DadlSman. OF
the First M. M. church of Hoisington,
was standing near the center of the Cir
Gle, and when the contracting parties
| which could be heard by all the guests,
said the words which made them Eus-
band and wife.
|
greater justice was done it by the
stOmaches than we can now do it with
our pen, and if any went away hungry
| it was their own fault. The bride was
attired in beautiful fawn cOlOred hen
rietta and wore a lovely wreath of the
most beautiful flowers. The groom
wore the conventional regulation suit.
which showed up his splendid features
| to good advantage. The bride and
groom presented comedy appearance,
and their brilliantly lighted counter
ances bespoke the JOY that reigned
within.
at IL O'Clock the bride and groom
took the train at Boyd for Colorado; tc
be gone several weeks.

happy life.-Hoisingto Dispatch.
