OWEN P. DEPEW of this city and MISS NANNIE A. SMITH of Leon, were married last night at 7:30 o'clock at the home of the groom's parents, MR. and MRS. WM. DEPEW, Rev. W.C. Martin, Pastor of the Methodist Church, pronouncing the magic words which united their lives. The wedding was a quiet one, only near relatives being present. The bride has spent all her life in Leon where she has the admiration of all who know her. The groom has grown from childhood in Mt. Ayr and is well liked by everyone. He is a baker by occupation and a good one, having learned his trade in this city from A.B. Wilson, and worked at it since in Lamoni, Leon and other places. It is probable that they will make their home at Parnell City, Mo.

The News extends congratulations to MR. and MRS. DEPEW, and wishes for them a long life of happiness and usefulness with all the blessings which the future may have in store for them.
