A Pleasant Morning Marriage.

Mr. Ernest Eugene Fritts, of Dunkirk, Ind., and Miss Blanche Alter were married this, Tuesday forenoon, at the residence of the brfde’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Alter, on Weston street. It was a wholly unostentatious affair, but elegant and very pleasant. The ceremony was performed promptly at 9 o’clock by Rev. V. O. Fritts, the groom’s father, assisted by Rev. C. D. Royse. After the ceremony fine wedding refreshments were served; and the wedding party, accompanied by a very large delegation of the guests, then repaired to the depot, where the newly married couple took the 11 a. m. train for Dunkirk, their future home. The usual prodigal storm of rice accompanied them into the car. They were the recipients of many bridal presents, all of them elegant and desirable. Some 50 or 60 relatives and invited guests were present at the marriage, of whom the following were from out of town: Rev. and Mrs, V. O. Fritts, Mr. John Webster, Dunkirk, Ind. Mrs. Ross Grant, South Bend. Mrs. H. J. Nowels and children, Delphi. Mrs. Robt. Simons and daughter, Mary, Greenfield. Dr. and Mrs. Youkey, Chicago. Mrs. Albert Alter, Elizabethtown, N. C. Mrs. Charles Beal, Remington.
