The marriage of Mr. Louis Rosenwater and Miss Sarah Black has been celebrated, and is now a thing of pleasant memory.

    Not less than three hundred invited guests, many of them from abroad, assembled in Odd Fellows Hall, Sunday evening, and as early as 7 o’clock were in constant expectation of the entrance of the expectant bride and groom and attendants.  At  7:15 the party arrived:  Mr. Black, with his daughter, the bride; Mr. Louis Rosenwater, the bridegroom with Mrs. A. Black, Mrs. Harmon H. Black with Miss Hattie Seigalman, and Mr. and Mrs. David Black, supports, constituted the bridal party.

    The bride wore the regulation veil and orange flowers.  The dress was an elegantly fitting and exceedingly handsome lilac gros-grained silk, tastefully trimmed with brocade silk.

    The party was at once assigned position, Mr. Charles W. Frank, meanwhile presiding at the organ.

    The marriage ceremony was then performed by the Rev. Mr. Tauberhouse, Rabbi, from Paducah, Ky., after the forms of the Jewish church.  The ceremonies were conducted in Hebrew, with explanations in English that gave everybody present a full understanding of their import.  It was alike impressive and beautiful.

    While appropriate music was discoursed, the newly married couple with their attendants now retired to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. Black, where, until 9 o’clock they received their friends.  The congratulations showered upon them were alike numerous and hearty.  During the evening the following congratulatory telegrams were received from friends abroad who were denied the privilege of attending in person:

    As many as fifty or sixty specially invited friends attended the reception and partook of the elegant repast.  Four tables were spread, and from the center of each arose a magnificent pyramid of flowers that reached to the chandeliers, suspended above.  There was a wealth of luxuries, including tropical fruits, fine wines, etc., besides the more substantial, but scarcely less toothsome edibles of more northern production.  At half past 9, the guests were bidden to the feast, and the toasts and speeches that followed added not a little to zest and good feeling of the occasion.
    Among the other friends present from abroad were, Mrs. Joseph Blum, of Paducah; Mr. and Mrs. S. Bach, of Mound City; Oscar Be__ Jack, Benton, Ark.; A. W. Gross, Morrelton, Ark., and Bernard Harris, Little Rock.  Latter apologies and congratulations were received in great number.
