Matrimonial Reception.

  A reception was given at the residence of J. W. Stewart on Friday 
last in honor of his son, W. L. Stewart, who the day previous led to 
the matrimonial altar Miss Bessie Ritchie.  The happy couple were 
serenaded in the evening by the "Promiscuous Ethiopian Band."  After 
playing for about half an hour the bride and groom were introduced and 
received many congratulations.  The band was invited into the house, 
where a table well filled with good things awaited their approach, and 
after tickling the palate with viands that a king would envy and 
entertaining the party with vocal and other music they departed, 
wishing that such incidents would occur more frequently.
