Perkins-Meredith.

Sunday evening, December 10, 1905, at six o'clock, Mr. Allen Perkins and Mrs. Bina May Meredith were married at the home of the bride in Bonaparte, Rev. George H. Wehn officiating.

Mr. and Mrs. Perkins are well known in Bonaparte and will no doubt have the best wishes of all our citizens for a happy and prosperous life together. Both appeared at their best, looking as blooming and gay as if but a young couple.

To witness the ceremony there were present a few of the relatives and friends on either side. Refreshments consisting of the best obtainable were enjoyed. They were the recipients of some vey useful and beautiful presents.

Mr. and Mrs. Perkins were "sweethearts" before either of them were married. They will reside in Bonaparte, Mr. Perkins being drayman for the Macklin livery.
