Drummoud was decked in gala attire
in honor of the marriage of their niece
Miss Jennie Strong of Pennsylvania,
to Prof. Stanley Moore, of Canton,
Minnesota.
The floral decorations were far more
elaborate than anything ever before
attempted for such on occasion in
this vicinity. The hall and banisters
were festooned with ferns and golden
rod. In the parlor floral columns
| fianked the doors and windows at
right and left, finished with corinthi-
an caps of fern leaves that touched
the ceiling. the bay. window was con-
verified into bower with ferns and
evening primroses, and FROM the CEN
ter Of the ceiling was suspended u
cluster of flowers to representa- chime,
and perhaps no flower that blooms in
our northern cline, symbollzes so
perfectly the wedding bells, as these
great snow white blossoms. The
doors and windows of the dining room
were capped with heavy floral bars
of bright colors, the mantles and
hooks were banked with ferns and
| flowers At s o'clock Miss Wilcox
went to the piano and as the sweet
strains of Mendelsson's wedding
march filled the rooms, the guests
arose to await the bridal pair who
appeared on the stairs, preceded by
the two little cousins of the bride,
Clara Dell and Alberta Wickham, who
wore dresses of boiling cloth trimmed
in garnitures OF creamy lace to match
the silk in color; each carried.a silver
basket filled with violets from which
they strew the path of the happy
couple until they took their position
directly beneath the floral bells, then
with rope of flowers enclosed them
within the bower, while Rev. A. M.
Hardness performed the ceremony in
his own happy style. The bride wore
gown of bronze green hrocaded sat
in, trimmed in folds of white chiffon,
bound with bands of jeweleu' en-
broidery. She carried large spray
of bridal roses and wore q single bios
som in her hair. The groom wore the
conventional suit of black and looked
q fitting mate for SO fair Il bride. The
guests were invited to seats at Il sImp-
tious spread, the brides fayors OF
white violets lying by each plate.
| None were present as invited guests
but the near relatives of the bride.
Prof. Moore had gone TO Penu., for
his bride last winter, where elaborate
preparations had been made for the
wedding, but a death in the family oil
u near and dear one, caused q post
ponement and the contracting parties
thought best to make this the second
appointed day as quiet an affair Us
possible, aud perhaps some unspokei!
request of the dear old mother may
have had Its influence.
The bride is well known in this vi
entity having spent three years with
us prior to the last one which she
spent at her old home. She possesses
many accomplishments and has the
happy faculty of winning the friend
ship of all with whom she meets
