Wedding Bells.

A very pretty event was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. BLAIR, Monday evening, the event being the marriage of their only daughter, Elizabeth, to Mr. Henry MINOR. The ceremony began promptly at six. The bride was gowned in a beautiful silk dress which her brother William brought from the Philippines several years since.

After a solo by Mrs. Wallace BLAIR, the guests stood while Elder F. B. BLAIR offered an invocation. The matrimonial ceremony was then pronounced in a few well chosen words by Elder George W. BLAIR of Kellerton.

A six-course dinner, such as the hostess is noted for, was ably served by Misses Helen SILSBEE and Lydia THOMAS, to the thirty-five guests present, who included only the immediate relatives of the bride and groom. Among those from abroad were Mrs. David BLAIR and Mrs. William BLAIR and daughter of Kansas City, and Mrs. J. J. MINOR, mother of the groom, John, George and Josephine MINOR, and Mr. and Mrs. Ed STILL, all of Leon.

The BLAIR home was tastefully decorated for the occasion. The happy couple were the recipients of many useful and valuable presents. Mr. and Mrs. MINOR will be at home to their many friends in their newly furnished home on Maple street.
