There were only a few friends
present beside the families of the
happy young peoplo and tho cere
mony was of tho simplest form. No
weddingmarch no ring no bride's
maids, nor groom'smen nothing
but tho simple words of the minister
that made these two man and wife
to indicate that this was a wedding
unless ono noticed the profusion of
flowers about the alter, and the
beautiful floral horseshoe, with its
unspoken wish of "good luck" that
hung over tho place where stood the
contracting parties.
After the brief service at tho
church, Mr. and Mrs. Moores re
entered tho carriage and were driven
to the home of his mother, Mrs.
I. R. Moores, corner of Front and

living a few miles south of town,
but sho has made her homo in this
city for some time. Wylie A.
Moores is in the employ of Thos.
Holman, the electric light proprie
tor, and is one of Salem's most trust
worthy young men. Both the
young peoplo begin their new life
with tho sincerest kind wishes of a.
great many friends.
