Carter--Schelllneer

matrmony. Sunday vening,
August 81, 1913, at 1870 p. m.
at the home of the bride pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Schel
linger, the nuptial knot which
united their beloved, highly &C.
complished and nimously
honored daughter, Miss Maggie
Schellingsr. to our highly re-
spected, most prosperous and
progressive young farmer. Mr..
Benjamin +. Carter. Rev. l.. II.
Mathison of, Kellyville, in few
but very solemn and impressive
words performed the ceremony.
AS to the attire of the bride
and groom, | will say that they
were dressed we'll enough, beau
tiful enough and stylish enough
to befittingly become the we'd
ding Of king.
Those present from Jefferson
who presented gifts to the newly
welded were as follows: Mr..
and Mrs. Meisenheimer, ten
dollars in gold; Fannie Nielsen
heimer, embroidery set; Mr..
Herman Schellnger, rug; Mrs.
Herman Schellinger, set of din
ner plates; Ruby Schellinger, set
of desert dishes; Mr.. and Mrs.
John Schellinger, parlor lamp;
Miss Tudie Terry, collar. There
were several other presents pre-.
scented also, but the absent mind
ed writer fails to recall who the
gigers We're, therefore, you will
not wonder why | failed to re-
mem Der you here.
Tommie Schellinger, Beula
Schellinger, Charlie Nielsen
heimer and Miss Waldo Murray
were also present from Jeffer-
son. Many other true friends
and neighbors Of these two were
there to bid them God speed
in fact too many to attempt
enumerating here. A few were
Troy Jaynes and Miss Lucille
Smith, Edgar McAdoo, Newton
Mccain, and S. p. Mccain and
family, Jim Morrison and Misses
Sallie, Allie and JENNIE Carter,
Nance and Ellie jolly, Nathan
Carter and family, Joseph Walk
er and Miss Ethel Walker. But
here | must stop for fear of
taking up too much space ere |
finish.
Mr.. Charlie Meisenheimer and
Miss Lille Schellinger, Mr.. jim
Morrison and Miss Allie Carter,
acting as walters, preceded the
the bride and groom from an in
ner department of the house to
the front gallery, where the cere-
mony was performed, while Miss
Tudie Terry played the wedding
march.
Everything was so becoming
ly planned and carried out that
even the criticising eye of the
writer could find no fault
The wedding day is the tide
in the affairs Of man and woman
that should be the most solemn
with more definite purpose and
nobler aspirations than all other
events in the earthly affairs and
concerns of man, and this, the
wedding hour Of these two was
characterized by the solemnity
that the occasion should have.
AS relatives and friends grasped
the hands of the noble young
people we realized that they had
plunged into that great and re-
sponsible side of life that re-
mains unseen to the Onlooker
until the beautiful curtain of
matrimony has been lain to one
side and the future life here as
it should be, standing open be-
fore you in all the beauty and
grandeur, that was intended by
him the author and tinisher of all
things that should accom- pany
the holy bonds of matrimony.
And now has come the begin
ming of real life of service, of
loyalty, of kind thoughtand deed,
of valiant struggle and accom-
plishment, life crowned with
respect, love and honor. The
beginning of this life brings
pleasure to their associates in
the various circles of their acqu-
aintance. The greatest pleas
ure will be felt by those of their
immediate and closely realated
relatives and friends. Many
will fondly cherish and linger-
ingly inscribe upon their roll OF
honor when this life is over,
well done thou faithful and
true. True and honorably you
have lived before man. Grea,
is your reward in the life to
come.
For a long time has this
young man struggled for suprem
