~ "** A Wedding,
Friendfield f ;t>EC. 13th.
To The Flob»xce TiMtes: .
At the home of the bride’s fath
er, R. N. Brown, the marriage of
Miss Irene Brown to Hijr. Benj. A.
McKnight took place on 12th inst.
The occasion is one long to be re
membered. It was one that would
remind us of such an occasion in
ante-bellum days. The large num
ber of persons present and the
abundance of good things would
somewhat remind us cf the good
old days gone by.
The crowd was estimated at
about two hundred and fifty per
sons. At the hour appointed for
the marriage, the modest bride
was led before the preacher by the
groom, and in fitting words Rev.
H. F. Oliver made them one.
Bridesmaids and groomsmen
were in attendance. The wedding
march was played by Mrs. William
McKnight, sister of the bride.
May long life and prosperity and
happiness attend their future life.
A Guest.
Before the Mayor.
Willie Sectt charged with fight
ing and disorderly conduct ou
( hoeves street. Plead guilty and
was fined $1 or 2 days in the guard
house. He paid the fine.
Domccrntlc Convention.
Philndtdphia, Pa., Dec. 13.—Wm.
F. Hai. iy, chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee, this
afternoon requested the secretary
of the committee to notify the mem-
ber* thereof to assemble in Wash
ington on January 16, next, for the
purpose of selecting the time and
p ace of holding the next Demo
cratic national convention. Chair
man Harrity has received letters
from commercial bodies in fifty
cities urging the national commit
tee to select a late date for the con
vention. Business people contend
that a long campaign unsettled
trade and they therefore want the
political battle made as short as
possible. It is believed that a date
not later than the middle of July,
will be selected.
Philadelphia, Dec. 13.—The
committee is to meet at the Arl
ington Hotel, in Washington, at
11 a. m.
The resolution offered by Gen. P.
A. Collins, of Massachusetts, in
the Democratic national conven
tion of 1892, requesting the Dem
ocratic national committee to
provide accommodations only for
the delegates, the alternates, the
members of the Democratic na
tional committee and the members
of the press, will be acted upon.
The resolution is now in the hands
of a sub-committee of the national
committal’, composed of Wm. F.
Harrity, of Pennsylvania, who is
chairman of the committee; Brad
ley B. Smalley, of Vermont, Ar
thur P. Gorman, of Maryland,
Ben T. Cable, of Illinois, and Ed
ward C. Wall, of Wisconsin.
