AFTER 20 YEARS.
Engaged TO be Married
Over Quarter of a
Century.
The vandalia Mail last weel

The Vandalia Mail last week
contained the following article:
Lovers of the romantic will be
interested in the announcement of
the marriage Saturday. August IL,
Of John w. Champion, of Perry
to Mrs. Rosalie DeTienue. Of near
Mt. Carmel, south of this city.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. j. G.. House, Of Wells
vile, at the home Ofthe bride, aud
was a very quiet, but impressive
affair. Only a few relatives aud
intimate friends were present.
The bride is the only daughter
of the late John Douchant. When
quite young she was married to
Mr.. DeTienne, who died 33 years
ago. After his death Mrs. De-
Tienne. whose mother was also
dead, went TO live with her father.
Mr., Douchant was then in poor
health. and his loving and dutiful
daughter set about making him
comfortable. aud dedicated her
life and service to him so long as
he should require them.
After a time the heart aches oc.
casioned by the death of her first
husband ceased, and the God Of
Love again battered down the bar
riers Of her heart, and entering,
began the long battle with the
God of Duty.
After an ardent courtship, Mr..
Champion, a young man of great
determination and stick. .to-itive-
ness Of character, won from her
her consent to their marriage-but
with q proviso attached. SO long
as her father lived and required
her services. all others must wait.
This was twenty.six years ago, and
Esince that time Mrs. DeTienne has
remained firm in her resolve.
Years came and departed, season
followed season, some quickly aud
some slowly, aud still she remained
steadfastly at her fathers side,
caring for him IN his sickness and
rejoicing with him when his
strength would temporarily return
TO him. Finally death came to his
release, AID last spring he passed
peacefully away; and none mourn
ed him more sincerely than Mrs.
DeTieune aud her flanee.
After the FIRST shock of his
death had passed of plans were
made for the wedding, and so, af-
ter long years OF waiting, some
times seeing each other often aud
sometimes but rarely. but always
steadfast in their devotion, the
many plans. as stated above, were
contaminated in their wedding. .
Mrs. DeTienne is spoken of by
all who know her as a Christian
lady OF the highest character. and
her great devotion to her father in
a great measure bears out these
statements. Mr.. Champion is also
spoken OF very highly, and theS
have the best wishes of many
friends.
They will go 10 housekeeping a
once on the brides old home place
: near nit. Carmel.

as often from lack Of knowledge
Of caring for orchards. as from
unavoidable causes. Knowledge Of
the business is necessary to its
success. In other words, labor
must be intelligently applied or
failure is the result.
