Lamb, pastor of the Baptist Church. The marriage came as a complete surprise to the bride's many friends, even to her parents, who knew nothing of the matter until her sister, Miss Maude, whom she had accompanied to Moberly ostensibly on a shopping trip, returned alone and informed them of the happy event. The bride is the pretty daughters of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Williams, and is one of Higbee's most modest and reserved young ladies, and a favorite with all who know her. The groom comes from one of Mexico's very best families, and bears the reputation of being a model young man in every sense of the word. He is in the employ of the Chicago & Alton railway, and is exceedingly popular with all of his fellow workers, all of whom refer to him as being the best fellow they ever knew. The NEWS joins other friends in hearty congratulations and best wishes.
