Married.

We received the following notice from Lebanon, Neb.: At the bride's home, Aug. 31, 1904, at 8 o'clock p.m., George W. Fritsinger to Miss Minnie E. Widener, Rev. Pogue performing the ceremony. A few friends were invited.

The bride was dressed in pure white having a wreath of pinks, sweet peas and asparagus with a large bouquet of white petunias and white geraniums. The groom wore a plain black suit.

The bountiful supper which followed the presentment of many valuable presents, was eaten amid sweet strains of music played by the Lebanon Cornet band. Then the musicians ate while the ladies of the town and a few boys in feminine attire were entertained in the parlor, ice cream and cake being served while still another crowd rent the night air with their voices and the "munitions of war."

The young couple is well and favorably known here and the wedding was one to long be remembered by their many friends.

We wish them a long, happy and prosperous wedded life.
