The record-union., 1896-11-01

place at the family residence at Six
teenth and Y streets. and will be a very
quiet affair, only members Of the fam
lily, immediate relatives and intimate
friends being invited to be present. Miss
Mabel Massey, sister to the bride, VIII
act as bridesmaid. Preparations have
been quietly going on for some time
past, but only a very limited number OF
very intimate friends have been initial
ed into the mysteries of the trosSeau
and other interesting and exciting prep
arauons for the coming event. Ihere
will be wedding breakfast after the
ceremony, which will be celebrated at
high noon, after which the bride will ex-
change her bridal white for the going
away gown, and the happy couple Will
take the afternoon train for the honey
moon-just where it Will be located in
this instance Is not generally under
stood, but the friends of the bride are
rejoiced to know that she will not leave
them for good, but will return in due
season to the Capital to make her home
among US, the more so as Miss Massey
is a great favorite in social circles in
Sacramento. She is a lovely girl, beloved
by all who know her, and will truly be
no less a favorite as Mrs. Harry Earl
than she has been SO long as Miss Tina
Massey. She will be greatly missed in
the immediate family circle which she
is about to leave.
Another High School Bird as one of
them is pleased to designate himself.
has distinguished himself without the
aid of a school rush. Being asked 10
speak at an entertainment one vening,
and wishing TO do it up brown" he
started off with a grand flourish OF
trumpets, waving his arms about in a
manner that reminded one of Don
Quixote's windmill of ancient and hon
orable fame. Unfortunately, in his
zeal, he approached too near the ef.ge or
the platform without noticing =, and
stepped forward TO deliver a tragic
portion of his address, suddenly top
pied off and dove head foremost into the
audience. OF course he VIII never hear
the last Of it. High School birds" do
have a dreadfully hard row to hoe"
don't you think?
Do you know the reason OF George
Clark's melancholy aspect during the
past week? Well, I can tell you, but
1t must be on the "q.t," you under
stand. It was this way: A party COM
posed Of a portion of the members of
one of our ancient and honorable iu-
situations engaged Wilson's tally-ho to
take them some distance beyond Court
land, where they had arranged to held
some kind of a high jinks." 1t looked
very much as if George, with an eye
to business, had entered into a COM
pact with the driver. Be that as it may,
I will let you judge for yourself. From
Freeport on the road, as you know, runs
along the top of a rather high levee
and presents on either side the in
wiling aspect Of cold river water and
barbed wire fences. 1t is a sort Of
tight-rope performance to drive along
there safely in the dark, at best. AS
/ said. it may have been prearranged-
George has an eye to buSiness-dfd
mention that he was one of the party?
Anyway, right along here somewhere
in some inexplicable fashion the tally
no, human freight and all, was over
turned-and great was the spill thereof,
Some of the crowd escaped without in
jury-some didn't. Among these last
were Baker, of Sullivan, Kelly e. Co,
who was somewhat hurt, / could not
learn to what extent; Abe Vermilya,
who had two or three sprained ankles,
and HI Nash, who fell into his own
best Sunday GO to- meeting hat and ex
pressed himself accordingly, while
Johnny Blair and the rest of the party
picked themselves up out Of two o.
three feet of dust-upon which one of
them at least made deep impression
somewhat the worse for wear. George,
being in the party, had 20 take his med
icine with the rest DR.. Wizard, disdain
ing TO mix with the common herd, went
down in MS own rig, and thus saved his
life. But they say George has been
melancholy ever since the affair. 1t
must be something serious that could
cause his ever CHEEKY and smiling coun-
tcnance to assume an aspect of sad
ness. The rest of the party believe
they know the cause, and say that the
driver could tell a thing or two, If he
he would, about that spill. But neither
he nor George will divulge one word
concerning the matter; but perhaps you
won't be able to see the application as
the rest of them did.
