A Pleasant Wedding.

A very pleasant wedding took place at the residence of Mrs. Wm Bell, two miles north of Greenville. The contracting parties were her daughter Maud, another of West Salem’s most successful school teachers and Mr. J. T. Reed, of Kennard, a most promising young man, who were united in marriage, Wednesday evening, April 27, by the United Presbyterian minister, Rev. Dr. McKay, of Greenville.

The bride’s sister, Miss Gertrude, acted as bridesmaid, and Thomas Parks, of Jamestown, groomsman. After the ceremony a delicious supper was served and many costly presents were given. Among the Invited guests were Mrs. E. B. McManus and Miss Valeria Reed, Windham, O.; Mr. and Mrs. Haas, of Meadville. The young couple expect going to New Kensington where we wish them a most prosperous and happy life.   A GUEST

The baccalaureate sermon before the High school graduating class was preached in the U. P. church, Sunday evening, by Rev. Dr. D. G. McKay. His text was a most appropriate one— Acts 22:3: “At the feet of Gamaliel.” The discourse was eloquent and instructive, and was listened to with rapt attention. The choir rendered two musical numbers. Invocation, "O Thou that Hearest Prayer" and the anthem “The Lord is in His Holy Temple.”
