BOLTON-HAMILTON.
Two of McKinney's Most Prominent
Young Society People Happily
Welded.

Upon the quiet air OF the festive night, |
In honor of the hymeneal jubilee
When two souls their VOWS should plight |
And nature spread an emerald cloak,
Figured with flowers bright and gay,
For a happy pair to tread upon,
On this, hte's greatest testal day.
The auditorium of the Methodist
church, of this city, was crowded
last night at an early hour with
friends, whose happy smiles and
dancing eyes bid God speed to the
contracting parties. 1t was the
occasion OF the marriage of our
genial and esteemed fellow citizen,
Mr.. George T. Bolton, and Miss
Daisy Hamilton, one OF the fairest
blossoms among McKinney's flow
er beds OF Texas beauties.
The church was beautifully and
artistically decorated with thous
ands of daisies, smiling their de-
light from vase, wall and wreath
down on the audience.
Many happy faces watched the
door with eager eyes for the com
ing of the bride aud groom, while
the daisies, seemingly in full rap.
port with their pretty namesake,
spread a delightful perfume around
the first enchanting step of welded
bliss.

The twain to be one
Till life's course is run;
To cleave in life or death;
