PRETTY SERVICE UNITED HEARTS

James Scott and Miss Margaret Torrance United in Marriage Last Evening

PRINCIPALS ARE WELL KNOWN

Groom One of City's Best Known Business Men While Bride is One of Monmouth's Popular Young Ladies

A wedding of interest to a large circle of friends and acquaintances was performed in this city last evening, when Mr. James A. Scott claimed as his bride Miss Madge Torrence. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Torrence on North Third street in the presence of some seventy guests and was both beautiful and impressive.

Promptly at seven-thirty o'clock to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Miss Ellen Irvine, the bridal party took their place before a bank of ferns and palms in the parlor and the beautiful ring ceremony was said by Dr. J. A. Burnett, pastor of the First U. P. church, assisted by Dr. W. R. King, pastor of the Presbyterian church.

The couple were unattended, but little Paul and Catherine Caldwell of Elizabeth, Pa., nephew and niece of the bride, were ribbon bearers and little Miss Mary McDowell, also a niece of the bride, ring bearer. The bride was gowned in a beautiful gown of embroidery and net and carried a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley.

Wedding Dinner.

Following the ceremony, and congratulations, a delightful four course wedding dinner was served, the dining room being beautifully decorated for the occasion, the color scheme of pink and white being followed throughout with ferns, palms, roses, and sweet peas, being used in profusion. Mr. and Mrs. Scott left last evening for a six weeks honeymoon in California after which they will be at home at 222 North Third street.

Both of the principals of last evening's wedding are unusually well known in the Maple City and have hosts of friends who will wish for them every happiness. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Torrence and made her home, up to six years ago, west of the city. She attended college here, graduating with the class of 1891. Since leaving school she has been prominent in the social life of the city and is a member of the Mildred Warner Washington chapter of the D. A. R., and of the Fortnightly. She was also a member of the A. B. L. literary society.

The groom is one of the best known and most popular of Monmouth's business men. He is a member of the grocery firm of Scott Brothers and has been in business here for a number of years. He and his bride will receive the congratulations of a large circle.

Among the guests present last evening from out of the city were: Mrs. Hodgzon of Oquawka, Dr. and Mrs. McDowell and daughter, Mary, of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Caldwell and children of Elizabeth, Pa., and Miss Erma Marshall of Stronghurst.
