The bride and groom entered the parlor attended by Miss Beulah Spears and Mr. Oscar Wood. The bride wore a handsome gown of castor broadcloath combined with brown velvet panne and cloth of gold trimmed with lace. The happy couple left immediately after the ceremony for Hickory Grove, their future home, where the groom is a planter of considerable estate. Mrs. Howard is a charming lady of pleasant disposition, and a beautiful character, and ber friends are legion, and The Ledger joins with them in hearty congratulations and wishes for the happy couple a pleasant journey o’er the matrimonial sea.
