YOUNG in the north part of the city to witness the marriage of their daughter, Miss Fannie Evelyn to Chas. B. ELLIS, of Drexel, Mo. As the unfailing sentinel of time pointed to the hour of 8 p.m., while the sweet strains of the wedding march resounded, played by Miss Pearl DELLINGER, the prospective bride and groom, attended by Mr. Will ELLIS and Miss Minnie GRANT, appeared before the guests. There, beneath the overhanging vines and gay festooning, centered by a bow of purity, Rev. ILER, of Osawatomie, pronounced them man and wife. The bride, attired in white bridal robes and vail with a wreath of flowers purest white across the breast, was fair to look upon. After the ceremony the guests were refreshed by the bounteous repast prepared by the kind host and hostess who spared no toil to make it a pleasant occasion. Miss Fannie YOUNG has developed from early childhood into the pride and bloom of true womanhood in our midst and recently having been a successful teacher in the schools of New Lancaster and Louisburg. She is loved by all who know her and her departure will leave a place which will long remain vacant. Mr. ELLIS is one of the most highly respected and leading young merchants of Drexel, Mo. The list of presents which the happy couple received were bountiful. A Guest.
