Orange Blossoms.

Br.lliart We-'dlng ot Frank tVoc.d and Miss Ora Catt, of Tflis Place.It is a pleasure that we are permitted to notice the marriage of Mr. Frank Wood and Miss Ora Catt. both well known young persons to the people of Rensselaer, which occurred at the home of the bride's parents on Thursday evening, Oct. Stith. The groom is the popular head clerk at the Chicago Bargain Store, and the bride is the modest young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Catt, and to say. that event was a happy one would not be satisfactory in the least; Several days before the wedding invitations were sent to the many friends of the young couple, and on the evening of the marriage there were assembled in the spacious home of Mr. Catt over two hundred guests who had arrived to see the young couple joined in the holy bonds of wedlock, that they might start down the pathway of life, hand in hand. At 8 o’clock, the appointed hour, Miss May Ensien played the wedding march and the handsome yomfg couple made their appearance before the gathered guests. The bride was dressed in a handsome suit of lambsdown, of the delicate shade elephant’s breath, trimmed with purple velvet. She also wore a lovely boquet of Marechai Neil roses. The groom was dressed in the usual conventional black suit. The ceremony was short but was rendered in an impressive manner by Rev. M. Wood, of Battle Ground, who is the grandfather of the groom. Congratulations were then in order, after which an elegant lap supper was served, which of course was enjoyed by those present.

Those present from a distance were Miss Belle Lally, of Remington; George Catt, of Monon, Lee Catt and Miss Lulu Vogeland, of Kentland; John Ulrey and family. George Carr and family, of Newton county. After the lap supper had been served the evening was pleasantly spent until 11 o’clock, when the guests departed for their homes, wishing the bride and groom all the joy and happiness that was within their power. We append a list of presents, among these were many that were both useful and handsome, and which the young people will remember for many a day. LIST OF PRESENTS. Bed spread.
