However favorable in circumstance or condition marriage may be, when contracted between parties of accidental or short acquaintance, we are led to regard the conditions for happiness and compatibility all the more favorable when the parties have the advantage of long acquaintance. Reflections like these were appropos to the recent uniting of the lives of two well known people, Charley Jones and Carrie Hodge, whose marriage we were privileged to witness. Both were born in Henry, and both living there all their lives, (except the last 10 years of hers) with parents, friends, and relatives, all intimately acquainted, the stronger, closer, life-tie of man and wife, took on much of promise and hope from such favorable surroundings.
They were married on Wednesday evening, February 9th, at the home of the bride's parents on 22d street, where a goodly number of friends of the pair assembled in honor of the occasion. The Rev. Dr. Holland officiated, using the beautiful, binding ritual of the Episcopal church, and to each item in the catalogue of obligations, the responses were prompt and emphatic. Congratulations, heatfelt and cordial, followed, for several were present who had known them from childhood, and who witnessed this uniting of their lives with more than ordinary interest.
After partaking of any elegant repast the newly wedded took train for St. Louis, followed by a unity of God bless you's from all. They will be at their future home in Henry, after a fortnight's absence.
