Thursday of last week will long
be remembered by a host of peo-

days of their lives. AS morning
dawned it was not with the bright.
est prospect of nice day. The
sun wore q dark cloudy veil, the
heavens seemed to have gone in
mourning, and fear was entertain
ed by many that it would shed
tears in the form Of rain-drops
before the day had fulfilled it's
mission and gone to rest behind
the mountains of eternity. New
ertheless, before nine O'Clock peo-
pie were seen vending their way
to the mansion of James G.. Ken
dali, one Of Big Cove's most pros
porous farmers, to witness the
marriage Of one of his daughters.
In half an hour the roads that led
apparently from the four corners
of the earth, were lined with car
riages and buggies-all bound for
the same place. The guests all
received Il hearty welcome.
By 9:55 all had assembled in the
large parlors. The rooms We're
beautifully decorated with vines
and golden tinted forest leaves.
The window shutters were closed
and the lights turned ON. The
relatives of the groom elect stood
ON one side of the room while the
relatives of the other party in the

were heard coming from the hall.

took their places with the friends;
then came the lady who was yet

William Beatty Mcdowell. She
was attired in a beautiful gown of
white organdie, trimmed in mar
row rut1les edged with satin rib
bon, and she carried a large bo-
quet of roses. She was quite
composed and fhe looked very
sweet and lovely. Mr.. Mcdowell
wore the conventional black. His
countenance betrayed the SUI
preme happiness of his heart.
They stood under a handsomely
decorated bell whichw was suspend
ed from the ceiling. A voice was
now heard breaking the spell OF
profound silence, it was the voice
of Rev. j. G. Rose, (Presbyterian)
of Mercersburg, imploring divine
guidance and blessing on the hap
py young couple, Rev. S. B.
Houston, Associate Presbyterian)

nestness to the couple that was
before him; and when he present
ed the marriage vows, they were
accepted by both with clear,
strong voices that were distinctly
hpord hv tho whnlo o11diancn saw.
