ABBEBSS _U___ QRIHBRS TO THIS SETSTLWBL.
IN    HAPPY     WEDLOCK.
A more pleasant duty never came to
the writer, than that 0 * chronicling
the most happy social event that ever
occurred in Clare. The event to which
we refer was the marrirge of Mr. Frank
H. Ballinger and Miss H. May Bicknell, on Wednesday of this week, at
the handsome and spacious home of the
bride's parents in this city. The ceremony -was performed at 1:30 p.m. by
Rev. S. A. Long, of the Congregational
church, assisted by Rev. A. H. Coois,
of the M.E. They were married with
the beautiful and impressive Episcopal
wedding service, in the presence of
nearly two hundred invited guests.
The bride's brother, James S. Bicknell,
acted as best man, and Miss McCullum
of Holton, Mich., a former schoolmate
of the bride, was brides'maid.
The happy couple were made one
under a beautiful archway of »milax,
from the center of which hung a star
of roses. After the ceremony, Mr, and
Mrs. Ballinger were showered with
congratulations and good wishes.
Frank looked the happiest man in the
world, and well he should be, while
everyone remarked that the bride
never looked more beautiful. The
groom is well known and highly respected and is in the employ of the
F. & P.M. railroad company as ticket
agent. The bride is a young lady who
is greatly admired and loved by all
her acquaintances.
The groom wore the conventional
black, and. the bride was attired in
white silk with homton lace and
wide satin ribbon. The skirt was
severely plain, cut verv wide and
hung in godet folds. The waist
had a full back, the front laid in
graduated pleats and was given
a novel and pretty effect by a group
of tuck shirrings on each shoulder
and from the lowest shirring in
front depend frills of lace which
are continued in cascades to the girdle.
At the neck is a stock collar of the
ribbon and around the waist is a girdle
of the same arranged in loops and
flowing ends at the left side and relieves the plainness of the skirt. The
sleeves fall in puffs to the elbow where
they are finished with a twist and large
bows of ribbon over them fall an
epaulet of the lace.
After the congratulations the guests
were invited to the lawn, where tables
were spread under a large canvass,
laden with all the good things of this
life. Here letters of regret were read
by Mr. Alward from Jas..Armstrong
and wife of Farwell, and Wm, Armstrong of Farwell, Miss Belle Henry,
and T. S. Henry, _Tapanee, Ont., W.
Tasker and wife, Ludington, H. A.
Stroupe, Grand Blanc, Mrs. J. C. Roek-
afellow, Flint, Dr. Nathan Bicknell
and wife, grandparents of the bride,
Camden, Ont., Miss Minnie Doherty,
Belfast, N.Y., J. Ballinger, St. John's,
Mich., now at Mrs. Galliver's sick.
Several regrets from those in the city
who were unable to be present were
also read.
The wedding party and friends repaired to the depot in. time to take
the afternoon F, & P. M. tram east.
A^the train came in the newly wedded couple were fairly stormed with
rice and they must have thought a St.
Louis hail storm was upon them.
From Clare they went to Kingston,
Ont.,thence by boat to Montreal, passing the thousand isles of the St. Lawrence. They will stay at Montreal
several days, and proceed from there
to Portland, Maine, by ocean steamship ; thence to Boston ;" returning
to Montreal, through the White
Mountains ; thence home by the Canadian Pacific, and will at once commence house-keeping in their own
pretty home on east 7th street.
It is needless to say that the couple
start life with the very best wishes of
all.   Below is a list of the presents :

DROWNED.
ARLEY ALGER, AGED 11 YEARS. LOSES
HIS LIFE WHILE BATHING LAST
SATURDAY AFTERNOON,
IN THE PRESENCE  Ol-   MEN AND BO\ S,
WHO  WERE   POWERLESS   TO
AID   HIM.
THE LITTLE FELLOW MADE  A NOBLE
STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.
The community was Berribly shocked last Saturday afternoon by hearing
that Arley Alger had been drowned
while swimming in the Tobacco river,
near the old grist mill site. Several
citizens drove rapidly to the place and
found, alas, that the report was all
too true.
It seems that "Johnny," as he was
called by his associates, had, in company with- other boys, been in the
water and around the banks of the
river for several hours. He attempted
to swim across the river where the
water is deep and when near the
middle, being much fatigued, began
to sink. John Sexsmith, who was
there fishing gave the alarm, but
the boys present wp.re only little fellows, and were too frightened to do
anything, a Mr. Sexsmith cannot swim
and neither could the two or three,
other men who were there, and so attempted to reach the, drowning boy
with a long pole, but could not. Johnny kept working towards a log in the
stream and finally reached it, biit was
too weak to hang on, and went down
for the last time in the sight of those,
who unhappily were powerless to save
him. The body was recovered about
25 minutes afterwards by Mr. Sexsmith, and taken home to the grief-
stricken family. He* was drowned in
about 12 feet of water.
Arley was born in Beloit, Kansas.
November 15th, 1884. He was a bright
little fellow and beloved by all his
schoolmates, The funeral services
were conducted at the parents' home«
by Rev. S. A. Long. The choir consisted of four little girls and four boys,
Arley's schoolmates.
It is a dreadfui thing to wait and
watch for the approach of death; to
know that hope is gone, and recovery
impossible; and to sit and count the
dreary hours through lohg,long nights
—it chills the blood—but when the
blow come so sudden as in this case, it
seems more terrible still. In the former case the sharpness of the sting is
made less severe by our being prepared
for the worst. But in this case there
was no warning, no preparation, nothing to tell of the death angel's visit.
Mr. and Mrs. Alger and family have
the true sympathy of all in the sad
bereavement which has come to them.
"There is no death.!   The stars go down
To rise^upon some fairer shore."
Card of Thanks.
We desire  to extend our sincere
thanks to friends and neighbors who
so kindly ministered to us in our recent sad bereavement.
