WEDDING TINGLINGS. — Again we are reminded that two are better than one and in this case we' believe it is so, for Wednesday afternoon a pretty wedding took place in the Methodist church at 4.30 p. m., when Mr Howard Alexander, of Bernie, formerly of the Blyth Standard, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss E. Bentley, second daughter of Mr James Bentley, of this village. The chuc•ch was packed to its utmostcapacity,long before the time of the rnarriage cere- mony. The bride was led to the altar by her brother, Mr George Bentley. The groom was attended by his, broth- er, Mr George Alexander, of Kincar- dine, and the bride was supported by her sister, Miss Lottie Bentley, while Miss. Campbell acted as maid of honor. Rev W. Rigsby performed the cere- mony. The bride was handsomely at- tired in a cream silk dress with white chiffon lace. The ushers were Messrs, Campbell, of town, and Mr Greer, of Gorrie. The happy couple retired to her father's residence after the. cere- mony, wbete a sumptuous tea awaited them. The waiters being Miss Maura Loyd and Miss Ida Crittenden. The happy couple left on the evening train for Kincardine, wher:e they will spend a few days, prior to leaving for the West. They have the best wishes of the public at large in their undertak- ing and we hope their voyage in life will be a pleasant one.
