Ring Out Glad Bells.

At the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Coolidge, parents of the bride in Bonaparte, Iowa, June 29, 1893, Mr. E. J. Muir, of Heppner, Oregon, to Miss Jessie M. Coolidge, at 8:45 p. m. The couple entered the parlor taking their places under an arch decorated with flowers and evergreens when Rev. G. W. Barber, of Selma, pronounced the words that made them husband and wife. After the ceremony the guests repaired to the dining room and sat down to a feast of good things which not only satisfied the recipients but reflected great credit on the hostess. The bride wore a gown of cream Crystal silk with bridal veil and orange blossoms. She is a native of Bonaparte and one of our fairest and best young ladies and has many friends who wish her a happy married life. The groom is a resident of Heppner, Oregon, and is to be congratulated on his good fortune in securing Miss Jessie for his companion. About thirty invited guests, relatives and friends were present to witness the ceremony. They will depart for Oregon this month where they will make their home. The good wishes of many friends following them.
