After the service and after the

the party entered carriage and with
a large concOurSe of guests, took their
way to the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Nels Sundet, on the
west side. Here a fine wedding
supper was served to the assembled
guests, and the evening spent in
social converse, music, etc. By care
fuI planning, Mr.. and Mrs. jacobson
escaped their friends who were wait

train, with rice, old shoes hand bills,
and the other paraphernalia con-
sidered necessary for a proper fare

fine shape, predicting, according to
old prophecies, a happy future for Mr..
and Mrs. jacobson. The presents were
many and beautiful, as indicative of
the deep respect and esteem in which
they are held in this community.
| Mrs. Jacobson is we'll and most
favorably known in this city as Miss
Berg, and has a large number of
friends who will wish her happiness.
For five years she was connected with
the REPORTER force, serving in a
most satisfactory manner. In view
OF long and valuable service with this
paper, the whole force attended the
wedding in body, Mr. jacobson has
not been known here as long as his
| wife, but he has been in Grand Rapids
long enough to win large number of
friends, and to gain the respect and
esteem of all who have come to know
him. He is mill-wrigbt by trade, and
is now located at ST. Cloud, their
future home.
They leave for their new home on
Sunday night, and in going will take
with them only the best wishes of all
who have known them, and the
REPORTER joins with the immune rable
circle of those who wish them all
success in life. and the best of good
fortunes, which is surely merited.
Though all wish their residence could
have been in this city, they 90 where
a better opportunity awaits them,
and which we, with the rest, hope
will prove advantageous for them.

town guests, among them being Miss
Carrie Moe and Miss Mathilda Sundet
from Chippewa Falls; Mr.. and Mrs.
Chris. jacobson, the groom's parents,
