MARRIED--At the residence of the bride's parents on Wednesday, March 3,
by D.W. ROBINSON, J.P., MR. JOHN C. FIERCE to MISS MINNIE BROWN, both of
Decatur County.

At the appointed hour, l o'clock p.m., the door of the parlor was thrown
open and FRANK W. KINTIGH and MISS MOLLIE FIERCE entered, followed by
the bride and groom.  MR. ROBINSON then stepped forward and in a few
words, pronounced them husband and wife.  The congratulations were then
offered and after a short social season, dinner was announced.  The
table fairly groaned under its load of good things, to which we all did
ample justice.  The table was presided over by MISS IDA FISHER and MISS
CORA BROWN.  The groom is one of Decatur County's most industrious young
men.  To the bride, too much praise cannot be given, therefore we will
not make an effort to point out her good qualities, but will say that
she ranks among the first of Decatur's best girls.

The following day an infare dinner was given by the groom's father, E.W.
FIERCE, some forty persons tasted of the good things that were on the
table.  Below will be found a list of presents received which we are
