Fox which took place yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, was a pretty occasion. The ceremony was performed Rev. John E.

The bride, who is a striking pretty girl, wore a becoming traveling suit of dark blue cloth with hat to match, and carried a bouquet of white roses. The maid-of-honor was gowned in white and carried bridesmaids roses. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. Fox and his bride left of a visit to Tennessee."
