A stranger has come among us
and stolen one of the fairest
maidens in Greeley, but as he
comes with credentials of honor
and promise upon his countenance,
we permit him to depart with his
prize in peace, offering no more
violence than comes from shower
of rice and old slippers. The above
remarks refer to the delightful
event that took place last Sabbath
at the beautiful country home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Wilson, when
their daughter Miss Phoeb was
given in marriage to Mr.. Eckart, of
Charter Oak, Iowa. Rev. Chas.
Walker, of Audubon township, tied
the sacred knot united only by the
hand of death. On Saturday, au-
tumn was sad and weeping and
busy marshaling the dark clouds
together for an equinoctial hurri-
cane, when her tear stained eyes
caught the busy preparations in
the Wilson home for tomorrow
wedding, Smiling through her
tears, she Immediately withdrew
the clouds, brushed back her
damp, disleveled hair. and blessed
the wedding day by appearing in
her rarest robes Of sunshine, and
merrily strewing sweet blossoms
around the alter and along the
pathway of the happy bride and
groom. The guests and presents
were numerous. The decorations
were remarkably appropriate and
artistic, and the feast was excellent
that even the "other fellow" forgot
his dark resolve, threw aside the
rope and made merry. The bride
and groom departed Immediately
for Charter Oak to begin what we
fearlessly predict successful and
exemplary career together. We
congratulate the community that
has been so fortunate as to secure
this young couple as members.
The following is a list of the
presents: Miss Eckhart, table
