] ant passing events that it has been
our lot to witness and chronicle are
the two brilliant weddings that took
place in our town last week, and as the
going out of the famous year 1892 has
been characteristic POLITICALLY speak
ing) for many reasons, one of which
will be long remembered by both OF
the great political parties, properly
known as the great landslide. likewise
these people, who, having become tired
of living in single blessedness, wanted
to go also on record before the year
had taken her final leave, and so gov
erned themselves accordingly. The
first event of this character was the
marriage of Miss Maggie L. Brodie to
Mr.. William Hume of Syenite, Mo-, at
the residence of the brides parents in
this place Monday evening at 8 O'Clock
p. NJ. The invitations did not peregri-
nate over very great territory, but
were confined to only relatives and a
few very intimate friends. The guests
began to arrive about Z o'clock and by
1880 all were present to witness the af-
fair. Everything being in readiness,
the bridegroom appeared at the altar
only to await the presentation Of his
bride by her father, followed by the at
PENDANTS; Miss Mamie Hume, sister of
the bridegroom, assisted as bridesmaid
and Alex. Archie as bridesman. Rev.
Olin Ward Rose then proceeded to
unite the contracting parties in the
holy bonds of wedlock. After the Gus

was gone through with, the then happy
couple, attendants and guests were
escorted to the dining room, where an
elegant wedding menu was in waiting,
collected from all the good things that
go toward appeasing ones appetite,
and to say that everything was replete
and that all were beautifully supplied,
would be putting it correctly. After
the bOunteous repast all repaired to the
reception room where the wedding
presents were displayed; although not
numerous, they were pretty and useful.
