Promptly at $50 p. M, amid the soft
strains of the wedding march from
Lohengrin rendered by Mrs. Senator
Dummond, the distinguished looking
couple appeared in the large front par
lor before the clergyman who was to say
the solemn words uniting them IN mar
riage. The scene was one of iDdescrib
able beauty worthy if possible OF the
gracious woman in whose honor 1t had
been wrought. Great banks of vari-
colOred flowers here and there sent
forth delicate perfume, while the
graceful iestoons suspended from chan

ance of veritable fairy land. The

plated the iriumph of her social career
amid the admiring Chances Of her
friends. AS soon as the couple were
pronounced man and wife such a
shower of congratulations was heaped
upon them that they must indeed have
been convinced that happiness is the
universal portion Of mankind, and
grief and despair only the product of
disordered fancy When the bride and
groom finally escaped from the affec
tiOnate demonstrations of their friends
splendid wedding supper was serve d..
The menu was simply complete and
the enthusiasm Of the guests evinced an
appreciation which only delicate taste
| kept from audible expression. The
floral decorations of the dining room
were gorgeous. Palms, potted plants,
ferns, roses, lilies, marguerlUes and car
nations made up wilderness of flowers
so great that the mind became confused
at details and grasped only the striking
beauty of the general effect. Among
those who remained for the supper the
| following names were secured: Mr..
and Mrs. William Acker, Mrs. William
Erwin. and Mr.. and Mrs. James Frib
lev, of Bourbon; Mrs. III. Il. Poland, Co
lumbus, O. Mr. Arthur Metzler, Roches-
ter; Rev. and Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Senator
Drummond, Dr. HoltZendOrff, Misses
Mamie Hoham and Mae Disher, of
Plymouth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Acker could of course
not be induced to disclose the plans for
their honeymoon, although thu wedding
tour they would otherwise take will
probably be curtaIled as 1t is now the
height of the season in Mr.. Acker's
business and mis- continued absence
could only be accomplished at great det-
riment to his business interests. Mrs.
Acker's departure Will be deplOred by
the entire community The loss sus-
tanned by the charitable, religious and
social interests of the city will be ire
parable, their only redress being in this,
that Plymouth's loss will be sister
city's gain.
The Independent salutes the charm
ing couple, extends its congratulations
and wishes them more happiness than
it can find words to express.
