The marriage OF Mr.. j. NJ. Thomas
and Miss Nettie Wattles occurred at
the home of the bride In this city Mat
evening at 8 o'clock, consummating 3
betrothal of six years. The ceremony
was impressiyely performed by Rev. Il.
b. Cousins in the presence of large
company OF the relatives and friends Of
the families. The bride wore cream
albatross trimmed in silk ribbon and
lace, and the groom was elegant in the
conventional black, and both wore
white roses. They were handsomely
supported by Mss Alice Kester, Of
Grand Junction, and Mr.. Edwin Della
hoyde, OF Extra.
After the beautiful ceremony, made
so by the deliberation and candor
of all participating, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas were introduced to the COM
pany for formal or informal congratu-
lations which were hasty and without
reserve. A splendid supper followed
and was succeeded by u highly social
season, which was only interrupted by
the warning wink OF the electric lights,
when the company dispersed with re.
peated expressions Of congratulations
and best wishes
The young people are too well and
favorably known to need introduction
from us. Both have spent the greater
part Of their lives in Audubon county.
The bride has been a devotee of the
Art Preseryatiye, serving an appren-
tloeship in the Times office; later she
has been engaged upon THE REPuBLI-
CAN and has been a competent, faithful
and cheerful assistant. She possesses
the qualifications OF q business woman,
but all this is now out Of the question,
and we have no doubt she will more
adapt herself to her
new and more congenIal surroundings.
