The ceremony was an informal
affair, there being present besides the
family only a few intimate friends of
the couple. 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.

The mill was rebuilt at once, and
the line business methods of th**
management made it appear in an

was much larger than the first and
its working capacity was much iu-
