Wedding Bells.

RHODES CHAPMAN. 1t is with great
degree of pleasure that mention the mar
rage Of our highly esteemed friends, Capt.
Charles E. Rhodes and Mrs. Fannie l..
Chapman, which occurred at the pretty resi-
dence of the groom on Beechhill avenue,
Northport Saturday evening, June 81.
The ceremony was performed by F. A.
Dickey, Esq, whose long experience combin-
ed with his patriarchal appearance lent a
peculiar and pleasing dignity to the occas-
sion that at once stamped its impressiveness
upon ali present and conveyed to those
most deeply concerned the sacredness of the
hour that joined two hearts as one, for better
or for worse. 1t was very pretty wedding,
though witnessed by only few invited
friends. Mr. ii. Z. Brown was best man
and Mrs Clara Brown brides maid. Many
useful and substantial present, were re-
ceived as tokens Of the love and friends ship
of the donors. After the ceremony Mr..
Dickey made some very appropriate con-
gratu itory remarks and was followed by
others; then the genial Captain invited his
guests to partake of a wedding lunch, to
which of course ample justice was done.
After an hour or more of social intercourse
the guests departed, expressing their best
wishes for the health and happiness of
Mr. and Mrs, Rhodes The Captain is GER
tainly deserving of hearty congratulations
for his courage, for it is very rarely that a
man who for more than forty years has
buffeted the storms and waves of almost
every known sea and withstood the hard
ships of prospecting among the Black hills
of Deadwood, when the hair of his head ever
trembled in fear of the scalping knife, he
calmly settles down at the Goth mile stone
and becomes full 1edged benedict. Per-
haps the change was caused by serious
consideration of scriptual admonition that it
was not well for man to be alone; there
fore acting upon the wholesome advice he
now enjoys in his beautiful and com Portable
home the company of one whom while good
health lasts will bring to him all the COM
forts and joys of home that only the pres
ence of a good woman can give. With
such an suspicious beginning so late in life
of this most worthy couple there seems
nothing to mar the serenity Of their
mundane existence, which is hoped will
continue for many years to come
