and well known business men Of
this county, to Miss Icy J. Nor.
rison, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. David Morrison at the
church at Adamston on last Sun.
day at 4 p. M, was the consum-
nation of a society event that has
been discussed for several weeks.
The church was not large enough
to hold the vast throng that
sought admittance. The Salem
band, beautifully uniformed, was
present, and played the wedding
march. The bride was looking
her prettiest and was most
charmingly costumed in satin
with flowers and rich trimmings.
The groom never looked better
or happier and well might he
have been happy on such an occa-
sion. Mr.. and Mrs. Koon will
live in shinnston where they have
a pleasant home. The TELE-
GRAM extends its heartiest con
gratulations.
