W. Hurd. A large number Of friends
were present and when at $50 the
wedding party entered the parlors to
the sweet music Of the wedding march

merry company that faced the oiiiciat-

The beautiful Episcopalian ring
service was used and the father OF
the bride gave her away while her
sister, Miss Florence Hawk, the maid
Of honor, carried the brides bouquet
of white roses. Mr.. j. Edward Johntz
was groomsman. Rev. Mr.. Clark
wore the white vestments OF the
church and performed the ceremony
impressively. The brides gown was of
white duchesse satin, chiffon trimming
and opal jewelry, white slippers and
carried white roses. The maid OF
honor wore white organdie with she'll
pink trimming. Vines, roses and
white blossoms were scattered every
where about the spacious rooms and
the air was sweet with the breath OF
flowers. 1t was one Of the prettiest
weddings the city ever had, and was
entirely worthy the two popular
young people whose lives are hence
forth to be as one.
Following the ceremony and its at
tendant sincere congratulations came
delectable wedding breakfast. The
brides table was profusely decorated
with roses and carnations, and was
surrounded by the tables whereat sat
her young friends. Afterward' amid
the usual shower Of good wishes and
other things, Mr.. and Mrs. Hurd left
over the Rock Island for Kansas City,
They will spend week travelling and
then return to 60 to housekeeping on
West Third street. The pretty cottage
formerly occupied by c. c. Wyandt is
being fitted up costly for their occu'
pancy. The large number of valuable
and beautiful presents received testl'
fed to the sincere friendship Of their
many acquaintances for the happy
young couple.
The bride and groom have lived in
Abilene since childhood, they have
been among the most popular young
people Of the city, and have won the
respect Of all who knew them. Mr..

dinary promise, gentleman every
where, a clean, honorable young man
whose character is Of the noblest. He
will on his return, enter the law firm
of Stambaugh 4 Hurd and continue
the practice Of his profession. His
