Wedding Bells.

At Pleasant View, Wednesday, June 2nd, was a day of unusual festivity at the residence of W.E. Whitney, it being the wedding day of Miss Blanche Whitney and Mr. Harry Ball, both of Liberty township.

Promptly at 2 o'clock the organist struck up the wedding march and the high contracting parties, placing themselves beneath a beautiful floral arch, were pronounced man and wife by Rev. Vandervert, in a brief, but appropriate ceremony, after which we surrounded a table richly loaded with the good things of this life, and handsomely decorated with flowers. This was the best part of the program - to us at least.

Mr. Harry Ball is an industrious young man of good habits, and Miss Blanch (sic) Whitney is the talented organist at Pleasant View. We wish this young couple a happy and prosperous journey through life. The presents were as follows:

Mr. W.E. Whitney, One milch cow.
Mrs. W.E. Whitney, 25 yards of carpet.
Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Ball, Bed spread.
Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson, Water pitcher.
Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Whitney, Berry dish.
Mr. and Mrs. L.R. Whitney, Fruit dish.
Mr. and Mrs. D.G. Whitney, Tea pot.
David Ball, Salt caster.
Sherman Ball, Pepper caster.
Mr. and Mrs. Babcock, Glass set.
Frank and Walter Babcock, Set tumblers.
Charley and Henry Watson, Toothpick holder.
Mr. and Mrs. Northrop, Pair of towels.
Miss Maud Ball, Fruit dish.
Miss Mosshart, Center piece.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Kirk, Cake stand and stand cover.
H.E. Kirk, Towell (sic).
Mrs. T.D. Ruley, Glass set.
