Others had no apparent effect upon the child. The

blistery and bloody form. His pillow mornings
would bear the bloody imprint Of the side of his

fellow from scratching his face, owing to the in
tensty Of the itching. Being advised to try CU1I-
CURA, l purchased box The first applica tion
was made before putting the child TO bed at night

Society.

OF Interest to Point Pleasant
Society.
Dame Rumor who delights to
entertain secret in her bosom and
divulge it only by degrees, whet-
ting the appetitef or further par
tticulars, has lately been busy with
the engagement of one or two
young couples prominent in our
best society, bnt held as a bonne
bouche complete surprise which
is all the more relished because so
few were in the secret. It is the
happy privilege of the Register to
make the announcement of the
marriage this morning of Mr.. AL
vim LIE Brun Nourse to Miss Au-
gusta Evelyn Howard. The cere-
mony was performed at the BRIDES
late home with her parents, at 7:30
o'clock, in the presence only of the
Immediate family and the most in
innate friends, the Rev. A. Ct.
Grinnan, Rector of Christ Church,
conducting the impressive service.
Immediately after the ceremony
there was a quiet little breakfast at
the residence of the brides pa
rents, Col. and Mrs. 81. r. Howard,
and the newly welded couple drove
to Gallipolis, whence they will
take the 10:45 northbound @. III. ".
& z. train on the way towards their
future home in Cripple Creek,
Colorado. The bride, who is a
most charming and accomplished
young lady takes with her the most
cordial and heartfelt wishes for her
future happiness and at the same
time will leave behind her hosts of
sincere friends. Mr.. LIE Brun
Nourse, who comes of we'll known
and highly respected Michigan
family, will be remembered as for
some time highly respected con
ductor on the K. & NJ, branch of
the o. @. r. r. line, where he made
a solid impression by his sterling
qualities and business aptitude
He has made an excellent reputa-
tion and won an estimable wife,
and no enc doubts his worthiness
of both and he will take to his fu-
ture abode and enterprises the best
wishes for his success and con
tinued felicity of all who know
him. in which the Register joins
with all sincerity, and adds one
more to the number who extend to
Mrs. Augusta Evelyn Nourse every
wish for complete and unalloyed
happiness in the future.

complished daughter of Capt. and

tracting parties, only the parents
of the bride and bridegroom and,

tendance. On the conclusion of
the ceremony the bridal party re-
turned to Point Pleasant, where an

ton, and the heartfelt fluctuations
of friends from near and far were
extended to the happy couple.
The happy young couple have
gone to Housekeeping in hand
some cottage on upper Wand

home'' to their friends. A long
and happy life for them is the
wish and prayer of all.
