Again the marriage bells have mer-
rily rung and made Joyous music to the
measured step of two young souls
whose hearts beat as one.

J. Hartmaier, in Henderson, at l
O'Clock p. m., Tuesday, February 9Th,

nocents, in the presence of select
company of immediate friends of the
family numbering probably 40 persons.

Presbyterian church in Oxford, was

manipulation of Miss Bette Blacknall,

room, to the measured step of which
the groom and his best man entered
the parlor. Then came the maid of
honor followed by the bride leaning
upon the arm of her father. Taking
their proper positions opposite the
clergyman the ceremony that made
the couple husband and wife was
pronunced in beautiful and impress
siye manner, the customary ring being
used according to the marriage service
of the Episcopal church. The dark
ened room, handsomely decorated with
evergreens, and lamps dimly burning,
the gay assemblage of pretty ladies and
gallant gentlemen all served to pre-

comingly attired in stylish and neat
fitting travelling costume and carried
an exquisite boquet Of Marecheil Neil
