Our genial blacksmith Sooy, concluded that as he had no work in the shop at present, he would vary the business and took unto his manly bosom to serve, love and buy for Miss Callie Kimber, of this place. The groom came to this place about two years ago and has always shown himself an exemplary man. The bride has been a resident since childhood and has always been loved and respected by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. May joy, contentinent and love reign supreme; may their life be as happy as the lark on the wing; their home be as cosy as the next of the dove.
Yesterday evening they received a royal serenade at the hands of about forty young Americans, armed with cow bells, tin pans, boilers, boxes, cans filled with gravel, sleighbells, etc.
