thing doing on New Years afternoon
when we saw Rev. " l.. Slocumb driv-
ing his yellow horse northward. A
visit to the clerk of courts Office this
morning explained it ALL The reverend
gentleman was on his way to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben Phillips where
he was to perform the marriage Of their
daughter, Miss Grace Phillips, TO r. H.
Philbrook, at five o'clock on that day.
The house was comfortably filed with
relatives of the contracting parties and
the wedding was very pretty and
charming affair. After the ceremony .
splendid dinner was served. The Young

this community and are known TO be
among our brightest and best and will
begin life with the best wishes Of all
