The grand event of the season was eel
ebrated in this village Wednesday after
noon OF last week, it being the occasion
of the wedding Of Miss Carrie l.. Nc
Mahon and John Watson Of New York
st Johns (EpiscopaD church was filed
to nearly its fullest limits by the many
relatives and friends of the contracting
parties. Flowers were in profusiOn in
the church. The ladies and their escorts
were all in full dress, all looking beau
tiful and awaiting the presence of the
couple who were the cause of the event.
At precisely $50 O'Clock Rev j. T.
Plumb appeared in sight. The organ,
presided over by Prof Edwin G. Glenn
ence, struck up the wedding march, the
bride and groom, preceded by ushers,
bridesmaids and beat man, with A. 81.
Mcmahon, father of the bride, marched
up the aisle Of the church and taking
their proper places the ceremony began,
Rev Mr. Plumb making the couple man
and wife In the best possible manner.
This being over the newly married couple
were taken to the Mcmahon residence on
South Main street, followed by those
who were invited to the reception. The
home Of the bride was profuseIy and
beautifully decorated with the choicest
flowers and the house was filed with as
pretty and happy lot as were ever con-
gregated together. Refreshments were
served as fast as possible. To do 80 the
tables were waited upon by pretty lady
walters. The house was handsomely
Illuminated with gas, all of which COM
bined made the occasion a lovely one.
The presents were many and exqlisitely
beautiful. 1t would take your col res
pOndent long time to enumerate Them.
The dress the bride wore it is impossible
for me to describe, but it was "just
| lovely" When 1t came nearly time to
make their exit out of town the happy
couple were taken by a carriage to the
station? Well guess not. The crowd
who were to throw old slippers, rice,
ETC., got left. The train stopped at the
first crossing below the station, where
the carriage was hastily driven and the
couple were aboard of the train in the
time it takes to wink ones eye. Where
they were destined for the writer doesn't
know, but probably to "Mr Yorks
House." Thus passed of as pretty q
wedding as one could wish, and nothing
happened to mar its pleasure. God bless
them, is the wish Of all who witnessed
the event. They have their uncle's best
wishes for "a long life and happy one."
