ELKHART:

-James D. Evans and sister, Miss Alice, went to Virden last Wednesday to attend the wedding of Capt. Emanuel Cross, of Mechanicsburg, to Miss Laura Davidson, of Virden. The Captain is an old timer and we had given him up for a confirmed bachelor, but, the fates were against him and he has gone the way of all mankinds. The bride was formerly a resident of our town, living here with her brother, the Rev. M.M. Davidson, who was pastor of the M.E. Church from Sept. 1871 to Sept 1873. The groom and bride left that evening for St. Louis on their bridal tour.
