Minor-Blair.

very pretty event was celebrated
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L.
Blair, Monday evening, the event being
the marriage of their only daughter,
Elizabeth, to Mr.. Henry Minor. The
ceremony began promptly at six. The
bride was gowned in beautiful silk
'ess which her brother William
brought from the Philippines several
years since.
I After a solo by Mrs. Wallace Blair,
the guests stood while Elder f. b. Blair
offered an invocation. The matrimonial
ceremony was then pronounced in a
few well chosen words by Elder Geo.
W. Blair, of Kellerton.
A siX-course dinner, such as the
hostess is noted for, was ably served
by Misses Helen Silsbee and Lydia
Thomas, to the thirty-flve guests pres
ent, who included only the Immediate
relatives of the bride and groom
Among those from abroad were: Mrs
David Blair and Mrs. William Blair and
daughter of Kansas City, Mrs. j. j.
Minor, mother of the groom, John,
George and Josephine Minor, and Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Still, all of Leon.
The Blair home was tastefully dec
Grated for the occasion. The happy
couple were the recipients of many
useful and valuable presents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Minor will be at home in their
newly furnished home on Maple street.

If one is to believe the half of the
fne-spun arguments made by the court
house boosters, then Decatur county is
on the eve of an era of unbounded pros
perity and every land owner is going
to be Croesus compared with his
present holdings. But most of the talk
may be taken with not a grain, but a
pound of salt. The best appeal put
forth and the one, we believe, which
won over the majority, was, this: 'Iet
us end the strife" And taking every
thing into consideration it does seem
that good business policy dictated
such a course. No man is at his best
with some veSatious problem on his
mind and what applies to an individual
applies with equal, if not greater,
potency to body of men. Decatur is a
good county and it is far better for her
people to work in unison and harmony
than at cross purposes. On with the
dance and up with the court house.
