Squier at Jerseyville. Rev. Mr. Rhoads has heard many different forms of the marriage ceremony all of them having much that was pretty and effective and all of them guaranteed to make a wedding stick until death dissolves it, so he took some of the, nicest parts of each of the ceremonies interwove them with some little bits of pretty business of his own composition and Thursday the father received fully as many sincere congratulations on the pretty marriage ceremony he had composed as did the bride and groom on their marriage.
While the guests were seated at the tables on the lawn at the Squier home, enjoying the wedding feast, a black cloud rolled up, wind began to blow and rain began to pour down. The guests fled to the house with their plates and, some carrying the tables, they finished their repast in the house. When time arrived for the bridal couple to depart, the sun broke through the clouds again. Mr. and Mrs. Rhoads left for St. Louis where they spent today and will leave tonight for a river trip to Vicksburg.
