' ♦ Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stevens in the west part of the city occurred the wedding of their beautiful daughter, Miss Viola, to Mr. Roy Gaftill of Fort Wayne. The wedding was a quiet affair and was attended by only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John C. White, and took place at five o’clock. The Stevens home was beautifully decorated for the occasion., and the young people were married in tho parlor, beneath ,an arch of roses and ferns, I the ring ceremony being used. Miss Stevenfs is a popular young lady, who, for the past few years, has been working at Fort Wayne, and it was at that place she was met and wooed by Mr. Gaftell. The groom is one of Fort Wayne% hustling young business men, being in the employ of the Hoffman Lumber Company, and from what we are able to learn, bears a reputation that is untarnished. The young couple left Sunday morning for Ohio, where they will make a short visit and will then be at home to their many friends at Fort Wayne. The Democrat extends congratulations. t In Self Defense Major Hamm, editor and manager of the Constitutionalist, Eminence, Ky., when he was fiercely attacked, four years ago, by piles, bought a box of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, of which he says: “It cured me in ten days and no trouble since.” Quickest healer of burns, sores, cuts and wounds. 25 cents at the Blackburn drug store.
