MARRIED--By the writer at the residence of GEO. W. CRAFT in Long Creek
Township, Decatur County, Iowa, on the 5th day of March, l893, MR. IRVIN
E. MCBEE of Ringgold County and MISS NETTIE E. CRAFT of Decatur County.

The groom is one of our industrious economical young farmers, who gives
promise of success and prosperity.  The bride is one of the bright
daughters of our old and tried friends, GEORGE and HANNAH CRAFT, whom we
delight to honor.  The supper was all that could be desired and was
partaken of with utmost good cheer.  The presents were both beautiful
and useful and more to follow.  May success and happiness be their
portion in this life and in the great eternal life to come.
