took place at 1870. the ceremony
being performed by the Rev. l.. I.

church. of which she was an honored
member. At 1:30, the newly we'd
ded couple took the west-bound train
for Mountain View, California. where
brother of Mrs. Webb resides.
They will probably visit numerous

Mr.. Webb is prosperous farmer
of Henry county and owns an elegant
fArm located about midway between
Chilhowee, of Johnson county and
Shawnee Mound, of Henry county.
the farm being located in Henry
county but adjoining the line between
the two counties. Mr.. Webb is not
only a prosperous farmer. but a high
ly respected citizen; man of un-
blemished character and high stand
ing.
Miss Carrie Gas she was generally
known) needs no introduction or re-
commentator to the people Of Yer
sailes and vicinity, having lived here
number of years and proven herself
t. be of noble character and repre-
senting the truest type of woman
hood. She was a faithful and conse-
Grated member OF the Versailles Pres
byterian Church, but possessed such
broad Christian spirit that her sym.
pathy and efforts for good went out to
all the churches. One OF the officials
of the church in which she held her
membership bears the following tes-
timony as to her faithfulness to her
duties, both to her church and com
munity, he says in part: 81 was close
ly associated with Miss Carrie for a
number of years in church work as ar
officer and superintendent of the Sun.

all phases of life would naturally be
touched upon at some time; and
learned to regard her as woman o
superior judgment, always kind anc
charitable; true to her family, he
church, and the community in which
she lived"
For number OF years she was th'
support and loving companion of he
aged and invalid mother. who passec
away about one year ago. To he
she was faithful and true. Miss Car
rie often expressed her regrets at no
being able, on account OF her hom
duties, to do the personal Christia
work that was in her heart to do, bu
was never lacking in her financia
support of all Christian and charitabl
work. Mr.. Webb is to be congratu
lated in the treasure he has won io
his life companion, and Miss Smit
has made no mistake in her selection
Mr.. Webb is brother to Mrs. Orr
wife OF the Presbyterian pastor i
Versailles, but not twin brother brotf

as there are fourteen wears differenC
