Groom Drunk—Wedding Off.

The wedding of Miss Edythe Garner and Charlie Reece, which was to have occurred at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Garner, Wednesday evening, did not take place owing to the intoxicated condition of the groom and we understand the engagement has been wisely broken off. About sixty invited guests had assembled and brought with then? a handsome line of presents, a sumptuous feast had been prepared and the officiating clergyman was in waiting when the young man put in his unhappy appearance. *lt w T as a sad and abrupt ending to what promised to be an enjoyable social evening.—Remington Press.
