which has occurred in this county
for some time. DIR. Cornett is one
OF our most popular and successful
practitioners. Miss Berry is most
lovable young lady and daughter
OF one of Audrain county's most
successful farmers and stock raisers.
A guest present at the wedding in
describing it says: Although it was
the stormiest of the year, there was
a large assembly of friends to wit
ness the marriage of their daughter,
Miss Ida Berry and DIR. Ed. Cor
nett. 1t was one of the most bril-
liant society events that has oc-
cured in that section for years on
account of the prominence and
worth of the young couple. The
spacious apartments of the Berry
mansion were thronged with a
merry company, all of whom
heartily wished the bride and
groom "a long life and a merry
one."
At $50 o'clock the bridal couple
marched into the parlors and the
Rev. B. Price, in a cermony in
keeping with the grand occasion,
pronounced them husband and
wife. Congratulations, jollity and
fun followed.
Half an hour after the ceremony
an elaborate supper was served to
the guests. The supper was one of
Mrs. Berry's ablest efforts, which is
saying a great deal, for that lady's
reputation for culinary skill is wide
spread.
The bride is one of Audrain's s
fairest daughters, whose merry
heart and sunny disposition have
endeared her to a large circle of
friends. DIR. Cornett is one of Au-
drains self-made men. He came
from the eastern end of the county,
located in Worcester a stranger to
+almost every one and by strict at
tention to his profession has built
up large lucrative practice of which
older physicians might well be
proud.
The ceremony was witnessed by
over a hundred guests, composed
largely OF neighborhood friends,
also Cuivre township friends who
lived in DR.. Cornett's old neigh
berhood, and quite a number from

THE Indianapolis Evening Neso:


THE indianapolis Evening Nesos,
speaking of the election in Rhode
Island, says: The Republican vieto-
nv, while substantial, is hardly con-
elusive as to the Presidential prog
nostications. The small margin IN
the largest vote ever cast, with other
candidates subtraeting votes more
than sufficient to turn the scale,
would seem to leave Rhode Island
as lighting ground in the next Pres
idential calnpaign-that is, OF
course, if the Democratic battle Is
sCleyeland and tariff reform. Il

there are people who do not object
