Marriages
Today at 11 o'clock at the bride's residence, Rev. I. S. McElroy will say the ceremony, which will bind together the lives of Mr. T. R. Walton, late business manager of this paper, but now a thrifty merchant, and Miss Panthea McKinney, the popular and pretty daughter of Capt. and Mrs. George H. McKinney. There will be no attendants and immediately after the ceremony the happy pair will leave by the K. O. for Chicago and the Northwest.

Death's Doings
Walton - At the solemn hour of midnight, September 16th, surrounded by her devoted husband and friends, Mrs. Panthea McKinney, wife of T. R. Walton, fell into that sleep that knows no earthly waking. Five years ago next week, in the same room, the almost identical crowd was gathered to witness her happy marriage to the man now bowed down in grief. It was a joyous occasion, strangely in contrast with this one enacted Monday night. Then all was hope and life and love; now hope has fled, hearts are wrung and eyes bedimmed as the life, recently full of promise, slowly ebbs away. Husband, mother, father, sister, brother and friends are gathered around to catch the last expiring sigh and mingle their tears in poignant grief, as Panthea's spirit takes its flight. It was a sad and awful hour and such as stirred to deepest emotion hearts unused to weep. Of a bright and sunny disposition, anxious always to make other people happy, Panthea was loved by all who knew her, and her death will be deeply deplored by many outside her home circle. Years ago she accepted Christ and uniting with the Presbyterian church she died strong in the faith as an accepted child of God, and went to live forever at His right hand, where her loved ones can meet her in glory, if they are faithful to Him. The immediate cause of her death was peritonitis, but she suffered from a complication of diseases, which for three months baffled the skill of several physicians. During this long time her husband lovingly attended her and at no hour, night or day, since her sickness was he not near to minister to her every want. No man was ever more faithful in his duty of love and on this score he can have no regret. Everything was done for her that could be, but death had claimed her and his victory was only a question of time. The burial occurred at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, after a short service at the grave by Dr. Morris Evans, and then the mortal remains of the beloved was consigned to earth, to awaken in His image when the final trump shall sound. The tender love of many friends was shown by floral offerings, which covered the new-made grave in beautiful profusion. To the aged parents, and especially the old mother, now tottering with the weight of more than three-score years and ten, and the husband, our much loved brother, whose hearts are crushed and bleeding, we offer what poor consolation that can come of man. May God look down in pity on them and bring them at last to meet Panthea and their other loved ones in Heaven, where there shall be no more partings, no more suffering and no more heart-aches.
