Abshire, Jr., was the destination of his many friends last Wednesday morning, the occasion being the wedding of his charming daughter Olita to the talented Mr. W. W. Minor. Nothing was spared to make his attractive home more attractive. The parlor was profusely decorated with large bouquets of flowers, and a magnificent bell of lace and flowers hung suspended from the centre. At 11 a. m., the happy couple stood beneath this symbol of hapiness and joy, and the marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Lequelka. The bride, looking lovely in her snowy robes, and the handsome groom made a pretty picture as they received the congratulations of their many friends. After a delicate repast had been served the gusets (sic) chased the hours with music and song. Mr. and Mrs. Minor left the same afternoon on a month's honey-moon to Chicago and northern cities carrying with them many godspeeds and good wishes in which The Meridional joins.
