In announcing my Removal to

known stand on the corner of

tion to ray large stook of General

not be excelled in Huron.

thanking my many friends for
the patronage that has necessi-
tated a removal to more oommo-
dims premises, and request a
continuance of the same at the
new stand,

ents, No. 33.50 Wabash avenue,
were celebrated the nuptials of Mr.
George 13. Moore and Miss Rosa S.
Bliss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.

terized by much quiet elegance and
elaborate appointment, and the cere-
mony, which was witnessed shortly
after 6 o'clock by about 175 of the
friends and relatives of the bride
and groom, was briof and simple.
The house was tastefully decorated
with flowers. In one corner of the
parlor hung a handsome horseshoe
of roses and smilax, under which
the bridal party stood while the
solemn words were pronounced by
the Rev. H. D. Kimball, D.11, of
the South Park Avenue Methodist
Church. The bride was richly at-
tended in a gown of cream.Ottornan
silks with trimmings of pearls and
duchease lace. This beautiful toilet,
together with the bride's complete
trousseau, was made in Paris, the
' family having but recently returned
