Miss Gertrude Weber, the beautiful
daughter OF DR.. VIM. Weber, OF this
place. Happy is the bride that the
sun shines on" The sunbeams peered
through the bridal veil to kiss the chez
OF the fair girl as she stepped from the
carriage at the church door, shimmered
among the folds of the elegant ivory satin
with its trimmings Of Chiffon and Dutch
ess lace and glanced to the orange bios.
SONS that nestled above the noble brow
The scene that awaited the bridal party
WAS one OF great beauty. Loving friends
had attended to the floral decorations
and pleasant faces watched the march to
the altar as the sweet sounds of music
swelled from the organ at Miss Mary
Miller's magic touch. The ceremony was
brief but impressive and was performed
by Elder McGsrvey, of Middlesboro. The
attendants were; Miss Mary Weber
dressed in white silk, trimmed with chif.
fon and lilies Of the valley, and little
Misses jamie and Annie Weber dressed
in white null, the latter bearing a silver
waiter upon which rested the wedding
ring. Mr., Jake Robinson, of Louisville,
was groomsman. After the ceremony
the friends repaired to the home of the
bride, where congratulations were ten
dered and refreshments partaken of. A
large cortege accompanied them to the
bon train, where they took a special car
for Baskerville to visit his aunt, who
gave them reception that evening. AT.
ter tour OF several weeks, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robinson will return to Middlesboro to
reside. Thus Mt. Vernon loses one of
her most popular and gifted young la
dies. A queen OF society, she now be-
comes the queen OF home and we
know that she will WELD the sceptre %
grsciously there, as here. May life's
richest blessing attend her.
