    • A beautiful summer wedding was solemnized on Wednesday of last week at high noon at the home of Rev. and Mrs. H. Orrock of Santiago, when Miss Jennie Carlson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Carlson of Santiago, became the bride of William Orrock, son of Rev. and Mrs. Orrock. Rev. Orrock, father of the groom, performed the ceremony in the presence of 60 guests. The house was decorated with flowers and festooned with green streamers. The bridesmaids were Misses Annie Carlson and Annie Larson and the best men Frank Carlson and Dr. Orrock. The bride was gowned in white satin trimmed with crystal, and carried white lilies. A bounteous dinner was served on the lawn and many beautiful and costly presents were received. Mr. and Mrs. Orrock will reside in Santiago, where the groom owns a farm. We wish the newlyweds all joy and happiness.
