very unusual occurance in any
community, and the beautiful senti-

makes it one of great moment, not
only to the worthy couple them
selves, but also to their relatives
and acqu aintances. That this fact
was fully appreciated by the many
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Clint Will

by the enthusiastic and hearty re-

the usual duties of POSTMASTER,
among which was kissing the
BRIDE, and not only that, he pass
ed them around promiscious-like"
to all the fair sex present. Mr..
Jones praise of the excellent qua
lities of the bride and groom was
beautifully expressed, and when

brides excellent cooking the APP
plause brought an old-time blush
