were on the altar and elsewhere abou.

snowy white where the carpets had
teen hidden with a covering OF white.

elegant reception was rendered the
bridal couple and a few invited guests,

The writer has had Il rather init
mate acquaintance with the fascina-
ting young bride from her earliest
childhood, she having been born and
reared lin Grenada, and Il sweeter,
lovelier and more unselfsh young lady
it has never been our pleasure to know.
She has all the attributes which go 10
make up an amiabie, kind and loving
daughter and wife, as we'll as a true
friend. She is a general fayorite with
who know her, and justly so. The
young groom lived in Grenada several
years prior to 1900, when he moved to
Durant, to take charge of the Western
Union and Illinois: Central telegraph
Office. He is a handsome, urbane and
genial young gentleman, with a host OF
friends and admirers. He has won a
jewel Of whom he should ever feel
proud. May their pathway be strewn
with natures pnrest flowers OF love and
happiness.
The presents received by the brida!
couple were numerous and costly, tes-
tiiying largely the love and esteem OF
their many friends.
