Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Newlon Wednesday night, April 8. It was the
marriage of their daughter, Margaret, to Harry J. Fichter of
Randolph. A large company of guests filled the house to
overflowing, including many from a distance. The home was
carefully and tastefully decorated for the occasion. The bride
looked wonderfuly attractive in her white wedding gown, and the
groom a manly youth, evidently valued the charming vision at its
full worth. To the jubilant strains of Mendelssohn's

beautifully ornamented bower and assumed from the bride's pastor,
Rev. W. H. Shipman, the solemn vows that made them one for life.
The tables had been skilfully decorated for the wedding feast and

love."

loving disposition, loving little children, by whom he was a
general favorite, and will not only be greatly misssed by hosts
of friends and acquaintances but especially by his children
friends. James M. Wilson was the son of T. J. Wilson and wife,
