The Third in Six Months.

A very pre ty home wedding took place Christmas dav at 4 p. ffl. at the residence of T. H. Robinson. The contracting parties were the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, Miss Gertrude, and Mr. Jesse E. Francis, two of our most estimable young people. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Middleton, pastor of the M. E. ohurch at Remington, assisted by Rev. C. D. Royse of this city. The bridal couple was attended by Miss Lois Robinson, sister of the bride and by Mr. W. E. Overton, of Freeport, 111. The wedding march was rendered by Mrs. F. Millard. The bride looked charming enough and the groom happy enough to satisfy the expectations of the • most exacting. The old saying that lightning never strikes twice in the same place has been emphatically disproven for this is the third wedding to occur in Mr. Robinson’s family within six months’ time. The rooms were tastefully decorated, white carnations and chrysanthemums being mingled delightfully with ferns, potted plants and Christmas greens. After the ceremony the guests sac down to an elegant oollation. Many practical as well as beautiful presents were received. Relatives and friends to the number of sixty were in attendance, among them being the following from out-of-town: Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schmidt, the latter a sister of the bride, Miss Anna Francis, sister of the groom, Miss Lois Robinson, and Mr. J. A. Reesor, all of Kirksville, Mo., Mr. W. E. Overton, of Freeport, 111., Rev. and Mrs. Middleton, of Remington, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Graves, of Indianapolis, and Miss Kate Wood, of Monon. In a few weeks Mr. and Mrs. Francis will depart for Kirksville, Mo., where both will enter the American School of Osteopathydocated there. They will take with them the regard and good wishes of their many Rensselaer friends.
