Another of 'Em-The 1st ward is
heard from. Kitty says Frank has
been Clerk Of that Court long enough,
so the 1st ward and End ward join
hands for a life canvass and an honest
account. Frank Wooed and Kitty
Wooed, too We mistrusted it for
MORN four years, and when we receiv-
ed big "wallop" enclosing a little
one, 1--WE mean a little "wallop") en-
closing as neat a little note as ever
was printed, which said that Uncle
John and Mrs Uncle John would be
at home" and requested our presence
etc, ETC., we knew that Frank was a
going to be counted in" and we felt
bad that we couldn't be there to over
see the canvass. Well, we went off to
a brewery, as "Unclc Sam" had di-
rected, but about forty or more of our
citizens went to Uncle Johns and from
what we learn all enjoyed the glorious
hospitality of the Rablins as is ever
the case when wedding is the mag
net which draws them thither.
At the appointed hour the cere-
money was performed, Rev. L. NJ
Foster, officiating, and Rev. r. NJ.
Webster Offering beautiful and touch
ing prayer for the welfare of the
twain, who were-elected. Mr.. Geo.
n. Wood, brother of the groom and
Miss Winnie Rablin, sister of the bride
supported the bride and groom in the
terrible ordeal which we hope neither
may ever be called upon to pass thru
again for we earnestly hope they may
live forever, and we are sure they will
After the ceremony-the wedding din
ner, and such a dinner! Why, we
would be willing to be married twice
a day for the next sixty years if we
could have such meal insured us af-
ter each ceremony. SO our wife says
too, and she is the one who told US, and
her judgment is good authority every
time. The tables fairly groaned, and
If we had been there we'd ha' groan-
ed too. We'd have grown plethoric we
know, for nothing so edifies our frail
rail-like anatomy like wedding din
ner. Uncle John was happy, Seth was
happy, Frank and Kitty was happy.
At five o'clock the newly elected took
the train for Chicago. The presents
from relatives and friends were num- /
erous and beautiful, We give list of |
them below:
Now, we might have written more |
dignified and aristocratic account of |
Frank and Kitty's wedding and MINI |
licked the style of our city contempor- !
aries, and spread heap o. style on
paper, but why for? Hasn't Frank !
and Kitty lived with US from baby |
hood up, and doesn't everybody know /
them-that they are democratic, and !
scorn as much as we, any fictitious or
ostentatious display? May the bless
ings of Heaven rest upon the twain, |
whose lives are blended into one, and |
may they live to celebrate their dia-
mond wedding in the presence of hosts
of friends:
