A Wedding In StringvIlIe.

On Monday, October LIST, most interest
ing event occurred in Stringville, near Nor
gan's. when Mr.. Peter Barry, aged 90 years,
and Miss Kate Gartrell, aged So years. were
united in marriage, by The Rev. Mr.. Dudley.
of Springfield Presbyterian Church. Miss
Garlrell was a maiden lady, though not for
lack of suitors; in her young days there wer"
many, bul she chose 10 devote her time to an
invalid mother. She has lived the greater
part of her quiet, uneventful life in this
neighborhood, and being of pleasant, genial
disposition, has made hosts of friends. Mr..
Barry is very popular in his own neighbor
hood, and great favorite with the children.
He served Is years in the regular Army,
fighting maLy battles with the Indians. In
the year 1868 he fought in the battle of
Washita River, in the Indian Territory under
General Custer, when Black Kettle, Chief of
the Cheyenne Indians and 800 of bis braves
were killed, while 100 others were captured;
Custer lost but 81 men in this fight. Mr..
Barry suffered many hardships, the above be.
ing but one among many that could be related
by him. He left the Army in 1885 and went
to Washington, where he lived for several
years, finally coming to Carroll county to
select his bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barry had intended keeping
their marriage a secret for few days, but
some of the men in the neighborhood got an
inking of it. and on Tuesday night they
serenaded them with drums, comets, bells
and dish pans. On the following morning
they were awakened by a steam mocking- bird
whistle from traction engine standing in
front of their house, and were made to come
out and be congratulated by the men on the
engine. The following Friday night the
ladies surprised Mr.. and Mrs. Barry by call
ing en,masse, each bringing a gift of some
thing useful. The time was passed pleasantly
in music, singing and conversation until 10
O'clock when refreshments were served.
Several toass were drank, Mrs. C. II. Miller
proposing, "The Bride and Groom, may they
grow young with happiness" the groom re
aponded WITH "God bless the ladies'"
The presents we're then presented with ap-
propriate remarks. One small package mark
ed, "hande with care" was carefully opened
by the bride and revealed baby's bib, pair
of shoes and socks, which caused general
laugh, but the groom turned the joke by de-
claring they would visit an Orphan Asylum at
their earliest opportunity. "God be with you
till we meet again." was then sung, and after
assuring Mr.. and Mrs. Barry of having spent
an enjoyable evening. and wishing them many
years of happiness, the merry crowd dispersed
to their homes. Among those present Were:
P. P. Barry and wife, S. P. Lewis and wife,
c. F. Beck and wife, j. Allen and wife, l..
