Joyous Wedding Bells.

One of those events which always ex
cites a deep interest in social circles, q
vending, occurred in our city at 10 a. III,
this morning. The contracting parties
were Charles Burton Goodwin and Miss
Vera Grace Waldo, both residents Of
Sheridan. The ceremony took place al
the home of the brides mother in the
presence of relatives and a number OF
intimate friends. Miss Lizzie Richie
acted as bridesmaid and Walter Hanson
as groomsman, and Rev. Evans, pastor
of the Baptist church, pronounced the
words that transformed the bride and
groom to the happy state of man and
wife. The bride is one of Sheridan's
fairest daughters and is esteemed and
beloved by a large circle of friends who
admire and respect her for her full meas
ure of excellent qualities of both heart
and mind. During the past two years
she has been the teacher in the first
grade of our Sheridan schools in which
capacity she not only proved efficient
but won the respect and esteem of her
pupils. who, while they rejoice at her
present happiness, regret that she is no
longer their teacher. Mr.. Goodwin is
we'll known as Il of the popular engi-
neers on the B. & M, and is not only
popular among his railroad associates,
but is highly respected by all as an hon
est, upright citizen. The happy couple
started nj today on the Burlington
Flyer and will make a short wedding
journey to Hot Springs, Deadwood,
Spearfish and other Black Hills points,
returning about the 18th of this month
when they will settle in a pleasant home
at Sheridan. The Journal extends most
hearty congratulations expressing the
utmost hope that Engineer Goodwin in
his s%ojourn through life with his fair
bride, may always find a smooth clear
track and an easy grade with the throttle
wide open to future success and prosper
ity, with a watchful eye ever in front to
catch any danger signal that might mark
the approach of care, sorrow or distress
for his household, and be ready to put
on the brakes to protect and save his
loved ones in all the years to come
