and into the night in the open-hearted hospitality for
which this home if famed far and wide. An elaborate
wedding dinner and supper were served, and the hearty
manner with which they were partaken of was proof
conclusive of the skill with which it had been prepared
and there was nothing omitted from the bill of fare that
the heart of the veriest epicure could crave.
Harrington's orchestra was present with a choice
repertoire and regaled the guests with music during table
service, and in the interim the light fantastic toe was
tripped to the rythmic melody of sound. The bride is a
daughter of Mrs. Wm. THOMA of this city, a young lady of
fine appearance, whose ladylike and gracious ways have
endeared her to a host of friends. She is accomplished in
music, the teaching of which has been her avocation for

blessed with a sunny disposition she is a lady any man
might be proud to call his wife. The groom is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. William GORDON, one of the oldest and most
widely known families on Henderson Prairie. He is an
industrious, affable and agreeable young man, even
tempered and courteous to a fault. He numbers his friends
by his acquaintances, all of whom know him to be well
worthy the fair bride he has won. The wedding presents
were numerous and beautiful, attesting fully the high
standing of this worthy young couple in a community that

pleasantest occasions of the kind that has ever come off
in Postville or vicinity. The decorations were
appropriate and fine, the viands were superb and the

estimable young people join hands and hearts for the life
journey, with the best of wishes for their prosperity and
