HOLLIDAYSBURG.

  On Thursday evening last at the hour of 7:30 o'clock at the home of the 
bride's father Mr. Jacob Brua, Mr. Irwin Smith, son of Mr. Thomas Smith, of 
Frankstown township, and Miss Blanche Brua, were united in marriage.  The 
interesting ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. D. H. Barron, of the 
Presbyterian church, in the presence of between forty and fifty of the 
relatives and friends of the bride and groom.  The bride was handsomely and 
tastefully attired and received the cordial congratulations, which were 
showered upon her, with becoming modesty.  Soon after the conclusion of the 
impressive ceremony which united two hearts in one, the guests retired to a 
brilliantly lighted dining room, where a sumptuous wedding feast awaited 
them.  It was prepared in the highest style of the caterers art by Mr. and 
Mrs. Brown, of the Union restaurant, and all did ample justice to the well 
prepared viands of which there was an abundance.  The happy bride, besides 
hearing hearty and cordial congratulations, was the recipient of many 
beautiful and useful presents.  The newly wedded couple after a very 
enjoyable evening, departed on the 10 o'clock train for a short trip to the 
east.  They will visit Baltimore, Washington, New York and other places of 
interest.
