MOTT-HOHMAN.

One Of the most brilliant weddings
ever known in Lake county occurred
at the altar at the NJ. E church. at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. where
Fred r. Mott and Miss Emma Hoh-
man plighted their faith, and Rev
E. A. Schel pronounced them husband
and wife. Nearly the whole town was
out to do the honors on this joyful
occasion. A shower early in the aft
ernoon threatened to mar the weather
auspices. but after the ceremony was
all ended and just while the bride was
being conducted back to the carriage
the sun shone gloriously out and
crowned the event with golden pro-
mise for the bride. Never has more
popular and nobler man led a truer
woman to the altar For once the
editors powers of description fail. Fred
is too well known to need any introduc-
ton, and the sunny face of the now
Mrs. Fred is as well known to the local
reader-heaven bless them both.
The bride wore cream satin
trimmed with pearl lace and over all
the bridal veil and the long loops of
orange blossoms. Henry sohl at
tended the groom and Miss Lena Hoh-
man waited on the bride After the
ceremony at the church reception,
lasting from 4 to 6. was given at the
house of Mrs. Caroline Holman An
elegant collation. was enjoyed, congrat-
ulations filled an hour. and there was
scarcely an opportunity to examine the
many valuable presents and testlmoni-
ais of esteem and regard

A large company of friends accom-
panied them to the train to bear them
away on an extended trip to New
York and New England. The carriage
was filled with old shoes for luck.
and at the depot they received show
ers of coffee, rice. flowers and other
fortune giving missiles The evening
train on the Chicago & Atlantic bore
them away amid a furry of handker-
chiefs. and though some eyes that had
just been laughing dropped tears they
were and ever will be followed by the
prayers and best wishes of all Ham
