and Friends Gather at Reception
In GOOdly Numbers.

OF IonopahS O popular young
people, Thomas j. Lynch and Julia
Nae Roberts, were united in the holy
bonds OF matrimony by Rev. Father
Butler at the Catholic church.
Long before the time appointed for
the ceremony the church commenced
to fill and as the hour approached
its seating capacity was taxed to
the utmost by the friends and we'll
wishers Of the contracting parties.
At the stroke of 8 the triumphant
notes OF Mendelsshon's wedding march
pealed forth heralding the approach
Of the bride leaning upon the arm of
her s~tepfather, 7. E. Edwards, and
preceded by her brides maid, Miss
Evaline Roach.
At the chancel rail Mr.. Edwards
gave the bride into the keeping OF
the waiting groom, who was attended
by his brother, John c. Lynch. The
Rev. Father Butler met the bridal
party at the alter and with the beau
tiful and impressive ritual Of the
church united the young couple ''for
richer or poorer, for better or worse
until death do US part"

Mrs. Gibbons, played softly and at
its close Father Butler spoke of the
attitude Of the Catholic church for
the past nineteen hundred years to-
ward the marriage state and OF the
duties and responsibilities Of its chill
dren entering thereinto.
After the service at the church a
reception was held at the home of the
brides parents. The rooms had been
beautifully decorated and the lawn
and verandas Illuminated for the oc-

favor upon the union and SEN as her
wedding present the lovliest night
that mortal man ever Witnessed. The
air was soft and balmy and the glory
OF the moonlight riyaled that of the
Alhambra.
Refreshments were served through
out the evening. The young people
danced; the older people made merry
and one and all wished Mr.. and Mrs
Lynch long life and happiness.
The brides gown was of whit
crepe de Chine trimmed with rea
