JOINED IN WEDLOCK
Marriage of Mr. John A. Cashel and Miss May E. Smallwood Solemnized Thursday Evening

A marriage of more than ordinary interest to Worthington society was solemnized on Thursday evening, Jan. 23rd, at the handsome residence of Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Smallwood, when their daughter Mary E. was joined in bonds of holy wedlock to Mr. John A. Cashel, one of the promising young attorneys of Nobles county. The wedding was a quiet affair, only a few intimate friends being present. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father John Sherman, according to the impressive ceremony of the Roman Catholic Church.

The bride was attended by Miss Ada Montgomery and Miss Marjorie Shell, and the groom by Mr. Jesse Smallwood. The ceremony was followed by a very dainty wedding supper. Mr. and Mrs. Cashel took the 2 o'clock train for Winona , where they will spend their honeymoon visiting his parents.

The bride is one of the best known and most popular young ladies of Worthington having grown to womanhood in this community. She is admired by all who know her for her many womanly qualities.

Mr. Cashel is one of the most popular young men in the county and an attorney of great promise. He has been a resident of Worthington for about three years, and during that time has gained the highest esteem of all who know him and that is nearly everyone in town.

When Mr. and Mrs. Cashel return from their honey moon they will make their home in Worthington .
