MARRIED – At St. Clement church in Ringwood, Feb. 12th, by Rev. A.S. SMITH, Mr. H.S. HARRISON and Miss Mamie S. GARRETT.  The young couple who linked their destinies together, have today realized the fulfillment of vows plighted in the distant past, throughout the varying vicissitudes of life, they have remained true to each other.  The acme of their happiness they have at last reached, we can only say to them, that our earnest wish is that the sun of prosperity and happiness may scatter all clouds of adversity or sorrow that may overcast them. As you glide smoothly over the placid waters of the ever onward stream of time, may  your voyage be undisturbed by a single wave of trouble; may birds sing their sweetest songs along the shores as you pass; may the pleasant dews of heaven descend upon your hands, may the softest zephyrs fan your cheeks; and may the verdant banks be thronged with the kinda and loving friends, tossing to you as you pass the golden apples of unalloyed happiness and perpetual prosperity, may you be long spared and your beams cloudless and rosy to the last. — J.M.W.
