On Thanksgiving eve, Nov. 10Th, at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Walter
on Sonth Thayer street. Plymouth, Ind,
occurred the marriage of Miss Meta l..
HOLLOWAY, daughter of Mrs. Walter, to
Mr.. Charles y. Names, of Valparaiso.
There were present a number of
guests among whom were Mr.. and Mre.
Charles +. Voorhees,, of Laporte; Mr.
Charles Holloway, of near Rochester;
Mrs Pettits, mother of the groom, of
Valparaiso; Mr.. and Mrs. Wiser, Miss
Nellie Seltenright and Miss Laura Van
lue, of Plymouth, together with the Off
ciating clergyman, Rev. j. w. belong,
and family.
Mrs. Charles f. Voorhees,, sister of
the bride, was married in Laporte on
Monday evening of this week. Neither
of the sisters knew of the plans of the
other in time to arrange for a double
wedding.
The groom was attired in conven.
tional black and the bride in beauti-
full drab, and each were adorned with a
nice bouquet of bridal roses. The cere-
mony occurred at o'clock, after which
those present sat down to sumptuous
feast, and after the evening had been
pleasantly spent the bride and groom
amid a shower of rice, took the 10 p m
train for South Bend where they will al
once begin housekeeping at 511 South
Columbia street.
Mrs. Voorhees,, the brides sister, whose
wedding occurred on Monday evening
returned with her husband last night
to Laporte where they are comfortably
settled at 221 Division street, in home
that had been nicely arranged for the
occasion, 10 which they began house.
keeping immediately after their mar.
riage. Thus both sisters who a week
ago were living a single life, are now
both married and are each keeping
house in their own homes.

freedom was unbounded, and under the
influence of highly exhilarating coun-
