The home of Dr. J.W. Wailes (sic) was the scene of a very pretty wedding Wednesday evening, June 3d, when MISS MAUDE CARTWRIGHT, of this city, and MR. ARTHUR A. ANDREWS, of Chariton, were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock.

The wedding march was played by Miss Pearl Thompson and promptly at 7 o'clock the bridal couple preceded by Rev. Alfred Knoll, of the M.E. Church, entered the south parlor and took their places in the bay window, which was profusely decorated with ferns and cut flowers and the words were said which made them husband and wife.

The bride was attired in a white mull gown and the groom wore the conventional black. After the ceremony the guests were ushered into the dining room where a very dainty supper was served. The dining room was decorated with red and white blossoms and red lights.

The bride is the youngest daughter of MR. and MRS. FRANK CARTWRIGHT and has grown to womanhood at this place. For the past few years she has made her home with her sister, Mrs. Wailes. She is well known and possesses just those characteristics which make a girl liked and popular with all people. Her friends regret that her marriage will take her from among them but congratulate MR. ANDREWS most heartily on the prize he has secured.

R. ANDREWS, while not so well known by our people, is one of the most trusted and popular engineers on the branch of the "Q" and is worthy of his bride. They will reside in Chariton. The many presents bear testimony to these young people's popularity. About forty guests were present. Those present from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. J.B. McManus, of Grant City; Mrs. Wm. Cartwright, of High Point; J.H. Andrews, Mrs. Eva lorimer and daughter, and Miss Stella Andrews, of Chariton.
