manor was called I'm the Irish~vernacu-
lar Fionn-uisge, pronounced finuiske,

which, articulated In the brief English
manner, exactly resembled the word
phoenix. The spring or we'll so called
from which the park derives its

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The wedding of Miss Grace McDon-
aid and George J. Pickett, both of this
city. occurred last evening at 1880
o'clock at the parsonage of DR.. T. L.
Brush, pastor of the First NJ. Echurch.
The wedding was very quiet one, and
in fact was 4 surprise to most of the
friends of Mr.. Pickett and his bride.
After the ceremony they proceeded at
once to No. GOA West Second street,
where Mr.. Pickett had previously fur
nished cosy little cottage where they
will be at home to their many friends.
The bride is daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. c. Mcdonald, of near Eldon.
She has, however, resided in Ottumwa
the greater part of the time during
the past five years, and has, by her
pleasant and kindly ways won the
friendship and esteem of all who know
her.
The groom is an employe of the Cou-
rier as one of its ad men. He was for
merly a resident of Keosauqua but has
been employed in Ottumwa for the
past. three years, and is recognized as
one of the best mechanics in his chosen
profession in the city. He is young
man of exemplary character and wor-
thy of the high esteem in which he is
held by his fellow employees and many
friends in Ottumwa.
