Fuller, the veteran couple of those
present, who will celebrate their COL

dence permitting. The deep and fast
falling snow kept many away who were
invited to this long-to-be remembered
wedding of the "dear old country
home" style, always highly enjoyed,
and should continue in vogue to the
worlds end.
Beauty and grace. wit and humor,
gallantry and refinement, were happy
contributions that afforded special de-
light for al. Such contact in life
makes mankind better, happier, gen.
tier, and far more useful and beneficial
to society. The bridal presents were
numerous, costly and appropriate, a
fact that demonstrates the truth that
true affection and loyal friendship are
as deserved as they are sincere and last
ing.
Last night Col. and Mrs. John Dris-
col, In honor of the bride and groom,
gave a most delightful entertainment
tirst-class in all respects that gladdened
the hearts of their honored guests-the
wedding attendants generally and many
others being present. IT'S true that
coming events cast their shadows before
and on Thursday night next Col. and
Mrs. A. 5. Fuller, in like spirit and
compliment, will give another party at
their also hospitable and elegant home.
