At the residence of the bride's parents, MR. and MRS. J.M. MARVIN, on the evening of March 4th, MISS MAY MARVIN and HARRY S. JENKINS were united in marriage, Rev. Chas. Reeder officiating. About 70 of the relatives and friends of this worthy young couple witnessed the ceremony after which they were invited to partake of a splendid wedding supper. HARRY and MAY are too well known to need any comment from the writer. The bride's dress was white silk mull, and the groom was dressed in the conventional black. Among those attending from a distance were: Mrs. Amelia Cook, of Columbus Junction, and Miss Kittie Mills, of Des Moines. MR. and MRS. JENKINS were the recipients of a number of beautiful and useful presents. The guests remained until a late hour when they departed wishing this happy young couple a long and happy life.
MR. and MRS. JENKINS will go to housekeeping soon in the old Pitman property in east Leon and will be at home to their many friends after April lst. May the blessings of God attend them through life.
