A happy wedding was solemnized at the pleasant home of DR. and MRS. W. L. GLEASON on Wednesday evening at six o'clock when their niece, MISS EDYTH DENNIS and MR. E. RAY SULLIVAN were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Rev. Joe Goodsell performed the impressive ceremony, the beautiful ring service of the Methodist Church being used. After hearty felicitations a sumptuous supper was enjoyed by those present. They will reside at the home of the groom's parents, MR. and MRS. L. W. SULLIVAN, until January when they expect to occupy the Willey property south of the railroad, which they have recently purchased.

The bride made a charming picture in a handsome blue broadcloth suit. She is a young lady of rare attractiveness and winsome manners and MR. SULLIVAN is to be congratulated in winning such an agreeable companion through life's journey. MR. SULLIVAN is well known to Garden Grove people as a young man of excellent business qualifications and sterling integrity. He is manager of the hardware store which bears his name. He is worthy of the good fortune that has befallen him. The Express joins with a host of friends in congratulations and best wishes for a long life together of unalloyed happiness and prosperity.

Those present were: Mrs. Belle Dennis of Malvern, mother of the bride; Dr. and Mrs. W.L. Gleason and son, Luther G.; Mr. and Mrs. L.W. Sullivan, son, Leo, and daughter, Lucy.
