Powell Englehardt and Miss Bar- bara Nightwine were married Wed- nesday’ evening of last week at the home of the brides parents, Rev. Gilbraith officiating. Young Aaron wishes them smooth sailing over life’s sea. While the bride and groom and guests were eating supper the serenaders made their appearance. There were three different com- panies came during the evening. No. 1 made the first charge, captured the treat and retreated. No.2 made a gallant charge, got to see the bride and groom but had to retreat with out a treat. No. 3, the Mulberry Hay Seeds just quietly marched to the front and proceeded to render some of the finest music ever rendered by aband. They were invited in and treated with ice cream and cake. We think that the-proper kind of a} jing serenade to furnish music with out using revolvers, shotguns and other| such means. On their way home| they stopped in Parktown and play- ed apretty tune for Young Aaron and all others who were fortunate enough to awaken.
