Cupid’s Captive—The occasion of the marriage of Miss Carrie CARVER, youngest daughter of our townsman, J.W. Carver, and Hassan PUTNAM, son of H.D. Putnam, an old residence of this place; also Mr. Frank Burt, son of E.J. Burt and Miss Lottie Putnam, who is the only daughter of Mr. Putnam.  When it became known Thursday eve, among the younger social circles of which they were among the leaders that they were so soon to embark on the sea of matrimony in that most noted of all crafts for carrying passengers called hyman, with the cunning Cupid for captain, bound for the land of golden hopes and fond realizations, there was a general flurry of excitement.  The darkness and occasional patter of rain drops, without only made a more pleasing contrast to the gaity within.   There was a merry party that gathered at J.W. Carver’s residence, the home of the bride, mostly relatives and near friends of this young couple, to bid them “God speed” on their untried journey, and numerous were the tokens of affection and esteem bestowed upon the worthy pair.  The bride was prettily and becomingly attired in brown silk, the groom in the conventional black.  After the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Jas. Lawson, and the congratulations of friends, refreshments were served, after which the merry laugh and joyous song of the wedding party was heard until a late hour.  Mr. Frank Burt and Miss Lottie Putnam, thinking, possibly, the knot would not be as closely tied were it a double one, after witnessing the ceremony uniting Hassan and Carrie, repaired to their carriage awaiting outside at precisely half past eight o’clock when they were driven to the M.E. parsonage and there speedily made one.  The brides are both esteemed for their many virtues and loved for their gentleness and amiability, and the young men whom they have promised to “love, honor and obey” are in every way worthy the prizes they have won.

Bestor of Evansville officiating.  Loving friends of the bride had tastefully decorated the church with plants, flowers, vines, etc., until it was a veritable floral bower and no fairer scene could have been devised for the union of hearts and hands.  The impressive ceremony was witnessed by a large concourse of relatives and friends.  Owing to the accident that recently occurred by which the bride’s hand s and arms had been seriously burned, the customary congratulations were necessarily dispense with, but none the less the happy couple had the best wishes of all in this most important epoch in their lives.  Rev. Rogers is a comparative stranger here, having been pastor of the Baptist Church less than a year, but that he has created a favorable impression in at least one heart is self-evident.  The bride is the younger daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Edward Davis, an accomplished young lady, a leader in church work and society, and beloved by all who know her. Mr. And Mrs. Rogers had expected to take a trip through the east, but owing to the accident referred to above, the trip is necessarily postponed for a time.

Dr. Axtell officiating.  The happy couple slipped away so quietly that not even their most intimate friends were aware that they were on matrimony intent.  They returned to Albany and for the present will make their home with the groom’s parents.  However, the congratulations and best wishes are none the less sincere.  A pleasant serenade was given to them Sunday evening by J. B. Whitcomb and daughter Louise assisted by Judge Bartlett and F.W. Fischer of Madison.  Mr. Sherbondy is one of Albany’s best young men.  For several months he has held a good position with the Albany Hardware Specialty and Manufacturing Co., where he is considered a most valuable assistant.  The bride is most highly esteemed by all who know her.  May their expectations for a happy and prosperous journey through life be fully realized.
