A great quantity of rice was
also thrown at the young
couple. The charivari was a
success from every standpoint
and when the noise was at it's
hcighth Mr.. Groat ordered
candy and cigars which
brought the noise to standstill.
Then one Of the ladies present,

been Il rather bashful young
man requested that he kiss his
now bride before the audince,
which he readily did. Along
with the candy and cigars
music was rendered by Prof.
Craw for a dance and others
played and sang among which
was the bride, who proved to
be a beautiful singer. The en-
tertain,nent lasted we'll into
the evening and was one of
the big social events since the
