Jenkins -Trussell

General Washington's birthday, February
%, 1889, seems to have been favorite day
for matrimonial inclined couples. On that
day the NJ. E. Church South was decorated
with palms. other pot flowers and cut flow
ers, with blossoms in profusion, arranged in
pyramidal form. More tasteful decorations
can hardly beimagined than were displayed
on this occasion. In the evening long be-
fore the appointed hour large concourse of
people had filled the church to OVERLOOKING
to witness the marriage of Mr. AIonzo Jen-
kins with Miss Annie Trussell, neice of Mr..
II. 7. Miley, of this vicinity. At o'clock
the organ, under the sllilful touch of Miss
Julia Merchant, began to peal forth en-
chanting strains from Lohengrin's wedding
march, and directly the bridal party entered
the auditorium from the ante-room and pro-
ceeded up the aisle. Rev. DIR. Smithson of
ticiated. The procession was led by Messrs.
G. I. Knight and Edward MiIey, followed
by Messrs. George Marstella and Abner Al
bin, next the maid of honor. Miss Ellen
Monroe, with the best man, Mr. Lewis AL
bin, then came the bride leaning on the arm
of the groom. The sweet and lovely bride
wore beautiful dress of handsome brown
French poplin. trimmed with velvet TO
match and cream satin. The velvet girdie
was held in place with a handsome pearl
buckle, pearl buckles decorated other parts
Of the dress. The hat of brown and white,
which was most becoming, with gloves to
match dress, completed the costume. The
groom wore the conventional suit. The
maid of honor wore a handsome dress of
brown cloth trimmed with light blue satin
and green velvet The bride carried hymn
book and the maid of honor pink and white
carnations. The ushers buttonniers were of
pink carnations. Mr.. and Mrs. jenkins
drove at once to the residence of Mr.. Jno A
Albin, (Mr. J. IS uncIe), near Ripon, and from
thence will visit other relatives in Loudoun
and we understand Will make their home at
Hilsboro, in that county. The bride being
a great favorite was the recipient of many
handsome and useful presents.

Tie Non-Absorbent Bread and Pastry
Board.

In no part of the household realm has
such advancement been made, as in the
variety and production of convenient and
labor saving appliances for the kitchen.
A desirable BREAD AND PASTRY
BOARD is one of the most important
health and labor saving devices yet to be
introduced, as the ordinary wooden board
is unhealthy, laborious and wasteful, and
in every respect unsatisfactory. 1t there
fore gives the agent great pleasure to of
fer to the housewives of this vicinity the
patent Non-Absorbent Bread and Pas
try Board, the triumph of simplicity and
perfection, an ideal board on which to
prepare bread, pastry and other food.
1t is hygienic and sanitary, having a
highly polished metallic kneading and
rolling surface, microbes nor disease
germs cannot enter. 1t is easily and
quickly cleaned with 4 damp cloth, no
scraping nor securing being required, as
dough will not adhere to it. No more
-four is required than is necessary to tenn
per the dough, the good results of which
are we'll known, while butter, lard and
liquids can be mixed without being alb
sorbed. No bad cdors from previous use
nor soft fibrous surface to become rancid
and foul. Being extremely light and at
tractive, it is acknowledged by all to be
superior to the heavy and expensive
slabs frequently used, thus making it the
only practical, non-absorbeut board
ever offered for domestic use
