the majority by surprise.
1t is the nrptials of Miss Pears
Bannister, only daughter OF Mr. and
Mrs. William H Banrister. and Mr.
James Manson Silcox-
While it was generally anticipated
that this marriage event would take
. place in the future, no one antici-

as it was generally understood that
Miss Bannister might resurn to New

cation.

The marriage will be. performed
by Rev. D. d. Forsyth. pastor of the
Fifth Street Methodist church, and
will occur before, few friends only
of the family and of the families OF
the contracting parties.
The marriage proper will occur in
the handsome double parlors of the
Bannister home at the corner OF
Tenth and Main streets, one of the
most beautiful residences in the city.
The contracting parties have selected
two very warm friends of the bride
and groom who will act in the ca
pacity of best man and bridesmaid.
They are Mr.. William E. Longshore
and Miss Hazel Ella. daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Wendell p. Ella.
Miss Bannister for the occasion
will be gowned in most beautiful
and becoming costume of imported,
hand-embroidered batiste and lace,
over white silk.
James Manson Silcox, the groom
of this very happy event, is one of
the best known young men in this
city. He has resided here for ten
years at least, and has filled quite a
number of responsible positions for
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad,
among them being chief clerk at the
union station, joint agent at Aspen
and travelling auditor on the Rio
Grande Western.
AT the present time he has charge
of the claim department of the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers Association.
He is prominently connected with a
number of secret orders and is well
liked by large circle of friends and
acquaintances.
Miss Bannister Is the only daugh-
ter of the Bannister family She has
grown to young womanhood in this
to her by her most winning dispo-
sition and very charming manner to
all who know her. For several years
she has been under the most eminent
vocal instruction in California and
in New York City, only returning
from the latter place several weeks
ago, having spent the past two years
undergoing the most rigid training
in vocal culture.
Following the wedding supper to-
night Mr.. and Mrs. Silcox-to-be will
depart for an extended visit to the
coast. Their first objective point will
be San Diego, and from there to Les
Angeles and other coast cities, re-
turning to Grand Junction in the |
course of a month.
1t is almost superficial to say that |
the well wishes of hundreds of |
friends and acquaintances will go |
out to these young people tonight, |
that fair fortune may follow them |
everywhere they may go and in the
battle of life.
