Grant-SidwelI.

RISING SUN, Feb. 2, 1899.
The home of Thomas Kirk was the scene of a
very pretty wedding on Wednesday, Feb list,
when 2 D Grant OF Rising Sun, and Miss Annie
l.. Sidwell of Sylmar were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. At two O'Clock the bridal
party entered the parlor which was decorated
with potted plants and were met by Rev S. j..
Morris, who conducted the ceremony, assisted by
Rev. Ernest Greenfield. The bride was attired in
black satin gown trimmed with chiffon and
wore white carnations. The groom wore con-
ventiona black.
Immediately after the ceremony and congrat-
ulations the company repaired to the dining
room where bountiful collation. was spread, con-
sistng of oranges, bananas, candy, ice cream,
cake and coffee prepared by the host and hostess.
After refreshments had been served several
choice selections on the violin were rendered
and very much enjoyed by all present About
forty relatives and friends from Colora. Sylmar,
Woodawn and Rising Sun witnessed the
ceremony.
The presents were both handsome and useful.
Among them was fancy rocker presented to the
bride by the groom and large lamp presented
to the groom by the bride. At eight O'Clock
about one hundred serenaders gathered in the
yard and enlivened the occasion by their music
until the bride and groom appeared. The entire
company were treated to cakes and cigars by the
groom, and after good bye salute repaired to
their homes. Thus ended one of the most
romantic weddings that ever occurred in the
history of our county. In the near future they
will reside in Rising Sun. We wish them many
happy years OF married life.
