prominent and gifted women who claims
Indiana as her native State. She was the
daughter Of the late w~ell-known physician,
DR.. Harrod, of Salem, Ind. Mrs. Halves
is widely known throughout the United
States, as for the past four years she has
held one of the most important positions
within the giving of the government. She
has been the pOStmistreSS OF Hot Springs,
Ark, where her splendid executive ability
and thorough business tact have been gen
orally remarked by the press throughout
the country. Mr.. Erasmus Wilson is a
gentleman of great prominence and is re-
garded as one of the wealthiest men in
a locality renowne for it's wealth, Kan
sas City, Mo-, and is in every way worthy
of the prize he has won. The bride is a
most celebrated belle and a beauty, and
at her wedding wore a cream-colored
MORE, cut with full round sleeves, the eff
feet being heightened by a bertha of rose
point lace. On her neck was a necklace
and a pendant of diamonds of much splen-
dor, the gift Of the groom. The whole
four lower rooms Of the residence were
decorated in many garlands. the mantels
being banked with Bride and Mermet
roses. A very appropriate decoration, and
an innovation, was that the couple stood
under a handsomely draped silk American
flag while the eremon was performed.
The groom, though but a boy, served
three years in the Third Iowa. The
rites were with the ring, this one
being the one used in the union
of the brides mother and father
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson held a re-
ception and a sumptuous wedding break
fast was served. AT 2:30 p. m. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson left for New York, whence
