PARENTS VERY QUIETLY.


~ parirsrsburg, W. Va. March Sit will
+ learned with surprise by the friends
81 the attractive bride that Mr.. Hayes
Harris Bell, of Clarksburg. and Miss
Mary Elizabeth Timmons of this city,
were quietly married Wednesday even
ing at $50 o'clock at the home of the
young lady's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Asa
Timuaons. Murdoch avenue. Tho officiat-
ing clergyman was the Rev. Felix Hill,
Ir., pastor Of st. Paul's Methodist church,
South; and only the Immediate family
and several very intimate friends wit
messed the ceremony. The wedding was
one OF the few secrets" that are plan
ned and executed accordingly. 1t was a
secret very closely guarded and few there
were who enjoyed possession of the hap
py knowledge.
The residence of the brides parents
was very beautifully decorated in
honor Of the ceremony with flowers and
palms. The brides wedding gown was
Of white silk chiffon, trimmed in lace
insertion and liberty ribbon. 4 large
bouquet of bride roses gave fragrant
floral touch to the striking toilette. Miss
Timmons, who is a most delightfully."-
pretty girl, as well as immensely popu-
lar in her set, was surely vision of
loyelinesss in the fullest sense of that
much used-and very often abused-de-
scriptive term.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell, after family we'd
ding supper of elaborate courses. took
their departure for Clarksburg. where
he and his charming bride will take up
their residence Immediately in a new
house that the groom had built and
handsomely furnished especially for the
reception of his wife. Mrs. Bells going
away gown was a swell tai,or-made of
dark blue, with hat to match. They
were escorted to their train by a party
OF young friends and the customary we'd
ding frivolities were merrily indnlsed in.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bell take away with them
from Parkersburg the brightes: hopes
of many friends for happy and glow
ing future.

over the route with promoters of the
Morgantown company, and while nothing
positive or definite was given out i was
learned unofficially that the intention is
20 construct the road.
1t has been known for months that
company will soon be in the .ield to
build line from Fairmont to Rivesyille.

interested in interurban lines, will un-
donbtedly, it is said, organize and get
ready for business in the next year MT
farthcst, and when they build line
to Rivesville they will say run it on to
Morgnntown.
Speaking of Fairmont- Morgnntown
trolley, Manager Smith Hood, ST., of
the Fairmont and Clarksburg Street Car
company, says:
81 do not believe that right now a
trolley from Fairmont to Aiorgantown
would be paying investment, but the
time is coming when such u line will not
only be paying property, but will he
necessary property and will without
doubt be constructed within the next
year or 80.
at must be remembered that the Mon
ongahela Valley is developing at rate
that was never dreamed OF very few
years ago, and it will not be long til
there will be dozens of towns built at
places where now they are never tho ieht
of. With this development will come
