Thomas BYRNS, father of the bride, by Rev. S.W. EMORY, November 19, 1884, Mr. Lawrence Y. McCORMACK and Miss Mattie BYRNS. Invitations had been sent out to a number of relatives and friends and, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, about 120 persons were present to witness the ceremony. Misses Missouri BYRNS and Julia BOWLES were brides maids and Messrs. D.C. McCORMACK and Horace WAGGENER groomsmen the entire company partook heartily of the magnificent wedding supper, and left enough provisions to have fed more than as many more. The bride and groom received a valuable assortment of handsome presents but we were only able to get a partial list of the donors, viz: Bed spread, Miss Mollie McCORMACK; assortment table linen, G. SIEVERS and lady; silver syrup pitcher, Horace WAGGENER; silver butter dish, D.C. McCORMACK; silver cake stand, George McMULLIN; brush and case, Os. McMULLIN; silver castor, Mrs. Sallie PRICE; same Mrs. H. McCORMACK; silver pickle caster and tongs, Dr. GUIBAR and lady; same, Miss Millie DONNELL; plush album, R.W. McMULLIN; linen, W.R. DONNELL; silver spoons, Miss Annie BYRNE; same, Mrs. George BOWLES. The bridal costume was very handsome, as were also those of the bridesmaids, but we are not competent to describe such things. The happy couple start in life with the good wishes of a large circle of friends, all of whom have confidence that it is a match that can be a happy one. DE SOTO - Again the housebreakers have done their work. Mr. SMITH's store was entered, last Thursday night, through aback window. The safe was broken open and $50 carried off, with several dollars worth of jewelry and pocket cutlery. Tools used in the work were stolen from Mr. HACKE's blacksmith shop. Our citizens cannot be too careful of their money and valuables, knowing that the town is infested with these burglars.
