Mr. Anderson, in the presence of abort seventy relatives and nearest friends.

The bride's costume was of blue broadcloth, trim- med with white satin and chiffon. Af- ter many, congratulations the happy Couple and guests sat down to a sump- tuous repast. The evening was pleas- antly spent in nineic.and.games. The popularity .tad esteem in which the newly married couple are held is fully attested• by the many costly and . use- ful presents they received. The bride received a handsome gold bracelet from the groom, while he presented to his niece, Miss Sadie Bannerman, a pin with a brilliant setting. Mr. and Mrs. Bannerman will settle down to the sterner realities of life in the handsome new house the groom recently erected.

As the young couple are widely known and highly esteemed in this locality their many friends join in wishing them a life of peace and prosperity, and es •they journey on 'through life, many dark clonds may flit across their pathway, but we trust they may ever be able to behold the silver lining in the• cloud.
