The young people whose hearts now beat with ouo accord and whose hands and names were upon this day welded together with tho vow of matrimony are Mr. Win. D. Roberts and Miss Eva Bollinger, daughter of M. Bellinger, of Jackson precinct. Both these people are well known in this lo cality, and none know them but to say kind words. Tho groom is a bright young man of aclovor business turu and will doubtless make their home an ideal ono a haven of trusting confidence and one in which, though the scorms of life combine, its walls will withstand all the combative force. The bride is spo ken of as a very amiable young lady, refined and respected by all, and one well fitted to preside, as queen, over tho handsome, neatly and thoroughly furnished little house, on B street, in which the happy couple will reside, and which was a present from the groom's father, Mr. W. B. Robarts. The Mail editor always feels like congratulating someone.
