Earl--WOodmansee.

There were dainty white winged
messengers that announced the APP
preaching consummation of the ''old
old story" There were pleasant ex-
pectant thoughts thrilling the minds
of each recipient. There were cur
rent many expressions of the highest
esteem and kindest wishes, and then
the wedding day came, an event SO
bright and happy that momory has
forever linned it's scenes and incidents
in golden tracery upon the minds of
the guests assembled in the pleasant,
spacious home of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
Woodmansee, at Highland, on Janu-
ary 10th, 1900. At high noon, amid
the soft glow of shaded lights, and
with the loving glances of friends
falling around them in benediction,
Miss Leota Woodmansee and James
Earl were united in marriage oy Rev.
J. E. H. Sentman. Attended by the
soft strains of the wedding march,
they entered the beautifully decorated
parlor and stood under festooning of
eyergreens looped with white ribbon.
The fair bride .arrayed in handsome
blue silk, was a charming vision of
sweet womanliness, and the groom
presented a fine appearance in the
conventional black. There was
sweet solemnity touching the thoughts
of each friend witnessing the cere-
mony. A sacredness of unusual depth
and beauty seemed lingering around
that heart and life union. The brief,
impressive ceremony was quickly fol-
lowed by the loving wishes and heart
felt concentrations of the friends.
Surely if those wishes should all be
materialized, the life pathway of Mr..
and Mrs. Earl will be strewn with
earth's fairest treasures and heavens
sweetest gifts, Immediately after
congratulations delightful repast
was served, which would have met
the unqualified appreciation of the
most skilled culinary connoisseur. The
pretty table appointments were en-
HANGED to the superlative degree of
beauty by the loveliest pink and
white roses, graceful ferns and beau
tiful white chrysanthemums. The
after dinner hours passed swiftly in
delightful associations. At four
O'Clock, escorted by large number
of their friends, and amid showers of
rice, repeated happy wishes and good
byes, Mr.. and Mrs. Earl bounded the
trains going directly to Illinois,
whence they will shortly start on a
trip through the South.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl are very estimi-
able young people and are held in the

the sweet consciousness that their
host of friends sincerely wish them a
long, happy and beautiful life.
