Mrs Jennie West, of a week ago,-th
e young actress who attempted suicide ii
s Philadelphia a short time ago,-is nov
/. Mrs. William w. Jones,of this town. Col
onel Jones is sixty years of age and hi
e happy bride is just twenty two. The Col
onel knew her but a few hours, when they
e crossed the river from Philadelphia to Cam
j den, N. ] and finding Rev Mr. Burres,
were made happy1n the oneness Of the mar
riage tie The old Colonel spent three
years fighting for his country during the
dark days of civil war, and since then he
= has been one of the best stewards that
sailed in tine big ships going out Of Phila
delphia for all parts of the world. Mrs
f Jones is pretty, yivacious and of happy
and sweet disposition and she seems to care
very much for the Colonel as does the Gel
onel, as matter of course, for her. They
kissed for the first time in the presence of
the minister officiating at their marriage,
and it is said by those Witnessing the sol
emn affair that the kiss was one Of those
of long duration like the style Of Emma
Abbot of years ago. After the ceremony
at the Camden parsonage the pretty bride
PLAYED the wedding march on the piano
and sang several appropriate selections for
I the special edifcation Of her new found
friend and husband. The happy couple
arrived in Milton on Saturday last about
noon and at once repaired to the home of
the Colonel, where they began their new
life amidst happy surroundings. The fact
of the Colonel being at home with his new
bride flashed over the town as on the wings i
of electricity and no other topic Of conver-
saton was thought of during the balance
of Saturday by the people Of this usually
auiei town. On Saturday evening a gen
uine old-time calathumpian serenade was
given the couple and Mrs. Jones favored
the crowd with music on her banjo. On
Monday evening the Milton Cornet Band
gave them a serenade and on leaving, after
rendering sweet music, the crowd gave three
hearty cheers for the gallant benedict and
his bride On Sunday morning they at
tended the M P. Church, of which the Col
onel is a member of many years standing,
sitting in the accustomed pew of the Gel
onel. Mr. Jones introduced his wife to all
the people present and an imprOmptu re
ception was held in Church after the
services were over. Mrs Jones ATTENDED j
Sabbath School and in the evening they {
both attended the regular service. The
worthy Colonel and his young bride have q
