Golden Work, and the ceremony that made them one, for life commenced. The bride was beautiful in her filmy white persian lawn bridal costume, decked with white roses, while the groom, looked as gay and handsome as ever, in his faultless suit of black, and both presented a picture of supreme happiness. Congratulations followed the ceremony, and after these refreshments consisting of many courses of elegant cookery were served from a handsomely decorated table. After a pleasant evening spent at the house where their nuptials were celebrated, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Duvall repaired to their new home in town, just fitted up for their occupancy. They were accompanied by a gay crowd of young people, and the merriment of the evening continued till the morning hours. The presents were very numerous, and many of them costly and handsome.
