A special trom Los Gatos, to the San Jose Mercury says: "One of the prettiest weddings of the season took place Wednes day evening in the parlors of the Methodist church, the contracting parties being Miss M. Cecil Belknap and RobertO. Hall. The room had been very tastefully decorated by the young lady friends of the bride and presented a beautiful appear ance. Great banks of ferns were in prolusion, and streamers ot smilax crossed the room in an ar tistic manner, while the ceremony itself took place under a large bell of flowers. "The marriage ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal Church was performed by the Rev. C. E. Irons Then, to the Mendelssohn wedding march, the bridal party went to their carriages and were taken to the residence of the bride's parents where a reception was held, and an elaborate repast served. "The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. II T. Belknap of Edelen avenue, and is an accom plished young lady, a graduate of the State Normal School at San Jose and a favorite with the younger set. The groom, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hall, is a young man of sterling qualities, and is at pres ent employed in San Jose, which is to be the future home of Mr and Mrs. Hall." II. T. Belknap and family are well known in Crook county They lived here for a number of years and have many friends in Prineville and vicinity. Return the Crowbar.
