START ON VOYAGE OF LIFE TOGETHER.

Montlcello Journal: Freeman Wood and Miss Lucy Langford, two young people of color, were married last night by Elder A. W. Jackman at the Christian church at the close of the regular evening services. The novelty of a wedding in which the principals were of the colored race, brought out an audience that filled both of the auditoriums past their seating capacity and many stood through the service to see the ceremony performed. The groom is a well known barber of Rensselaer and is well thought of in that city. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Emily Simmons, nee Langford, of west of town. Both have many friends who will join in well wishes. " 4
