John Holstine, near Cherokee, to witness the marriage of his daughter, Miss Zeda to Mr. P. T. O'Rear, one of the most jovial and popular young men in our city.

As the soft and beautiful notes of the Wedding March floated through the parlor, the bride and groom with slow, measured tread, marched into the parlor and taking their places under the flower bell, were joined together for life, the binding words being spoken by Rev. S. Bramlette, of this city. The bride, a beautiful young lady of twenty summers, was arrayed in a handsome bridal costume of satin and silk, and wore flowers in her bair. The groom was dressed in the regulation black.

After the ceremony the bride and groom led the wedding guests to the handsomely decorated dining room: where an elaborate spread was soon dispatebed by the merry-makers. Returning to the parlor the guests passed a happy hour or two with music and social conversation, departing at a late hour wishing the bride and groom a long and and happy wedded life. Mr. and Mrs. O' Rear were the recipients of a number of valuable and handsome presents both useful and ornamental.

Its remarkable success has been achieved by its unfaltering adherence to the rule of giving its readers the best that the Star's increasing revenues could furnish and its improved facilities could supply.
