At just 8 o’clock last evening, in the presence of the numerous guests assembled, the happy couple took their position beneath a large floral representation of the American flag, attended only the by little maids of honor, Nina Fern Cole, carrying a basket of beautiful roses, and Adelaide Enright bearing the ring, when Rev. S.A. Hoffman said the solemn and impressive words of the marriage service and pronounced them man and wife. After the ceremony the congratulations of the guests were showered upon the happy couple, after which refreshments were served, the tables being decorated in the national colors.

After refreshments the evening was spent in pleasant and social converse, many of the guests, especially the younger ones, remained until the arrival of the limited, on which the happy couple went to Chicago, where they will remain a day or two, then will visit Three Oaks and Bay City, Mich., Niagara, expecting to return here in about three weeks, but have not decided upon a permanent location.
