One Of the prettlest home weddings that
has been solemnized near this place for quite
a while, was that which took place at the
residence of Mrs. Mary G. Smith, Wednesday
evening, May Goth. The house was crowded
to its utmost capacity with relatives and
friends to witness the binding together in the
holy bonds Of matri mony, Of Miss May, only
daughter of Mrs. Smith and Mr.. s. A. Fo-
gle OF Baltimore. The house was beautifully
decorated with flowers and evergreens. Pre-
Cisely at 4 D. m. the strains Of the wedding
march was rendered by Mrs, VIM. Il Biggs.
The bridal party entered the parlor, led by
little Phoebe Biggs as flower girl, followed
by the attendants, Miss Emma King Of
Liberty and Mr.. Parker Smith, brother of the
bride, followed by the bride and groom. The
ceremony was performed by Rey &. Whit
more, of Thurmont. The bride was attired
in handsome costume Of cream Brocaded
Taffated, trimmed in white satin with gloves
and slippers to match, and carried Marshalneal
roses. The groom wore the usual conven.
tional black. The gusts, after extending
their fluctuations to the newly married cou-
ple were ushered into the dining room where
the table groaned under its weight of all the
delicacies of the season. From to 9p. m.
a reception was given to the young friends of
the bride and groom. The happy couple
were the recipients Of large number Of
handsome and useful gifts from their friends.
Baltimore will be their future home. 1t is
needless to say how much the bride will be
missed by her many friends. She was a
ready and willing worker in church and Sun,
day:school and faithful in mnistering to the
sick. While We regret that she is no more
one of our helpers, we would wish her very
bright and happy future.
