A Wedding at Warriorsmark.

  The residence of Mr. T. B. Hyskell, at Warriorsmark, was the scene of 
unusual activity Thursday evening, February 28.  The occasion for so much 
stir was the marriage of Miss Kate Hyskell to Mr. George C. Waite, of Tyrone.  
At 7 o'clock Mr. Waite and Miss Kate entered the beautifully decorated parlor 
preceded by the bride's two little nieces, Misses Juliet Hyskell and Florence 
Hutchison, who acted as maids of honor.  The marriage ceremony was performed 
immediately by the Rev. A. Carver, of the Warriorsmark Methodist Episcopal 
church.  The bride wore a dress of moire silk and plush, and the groom wore 
the conventional black.  The maids of honor wore dresses of white mull, one 
with cream and the other blue ribbons.  After congratulations the company of 
about forty invited guests sat down to supper.  The supper was such as is 
usually got up on occasions of this kind, consisting of an abundance of 
everything good and reflected credit on those who had charge of the culinary 
part.  The decorations on the table were beautiful.  In the center was a 
miniature lake, surrounded by blooming plants.  The other decorations were 
boquets of roses and potted plants.  After the supper the bride and groom 
were tendered a serenade by the Warriorsmark brass band.  After spending the 
evening in social enjoyment, the guests departed for their homes wishing the 
newly wedded couple a long left [sic] of happiness.  They received a number 
of useful and beautiful presents, all the lines, especially being of the 
finest quality.
