BARBOUR - SEARS.

  Mr. J. William Barbour and Miss Irene L. Sears were united in marriage by 
the bride's father, Rev. S. W. Sears, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Methodist 
church, at the parsonage, 405 Fifth avenue.  The ceremony too place at 6:30 
o'clock last evening.  Only the immediate friends and relatives of the 
contracting parties were present.  A wedding supper was served.  The happy 
couple left for a wedding tour to Washington, D.C., on Philadelphia express. 
Their friends accompanied them to the depot and showered them with rice and 
threw the proverbial old shoe after them as they boarded the train.  After a 
week's sightseeing the newly wedded couple will go to Chambersburg, where the 
groom is a leading photographer, and where they will reside.  A reception 
will be given next Tuesday evening at the groom's home.  Mrs. Barbour 
received many elegant presents.  Among the guests at the wedding last night 
were Mrs. Philip Hess, Miss Minerva Smith and Miss Grace Krider, of 
Harrisburg; James Black, son of Rev. Harper Black, the First Methodist 
church, of Lock Haven; A. J. McCahan, teller of the First National bank of 
Huntingdon, and wife, and Mrs. William H. Sears, Murray Sears and Miss Clara 
McCahan, of Huntingdon.
