MANCHESTER MATTERS
WEDDINGS, SUPPERS, AND OTHER ENTERTAINMENTS.
McNAMIE-VAUGHAN Marriage-For Men Only-Mr. HOOPER's Funeral-Memoriam-suppers,
& c. Mr. T. M. McNAMIE* and Miss Josie VAUGHAN were united
in marriage at
Central Methodist Church last night at 9 o'clock. Rev. E. M. PETERSON
performed the ceremony. Miss Greener of Richmond, played a beautiful
wedding
march. The ushers were Messrs. William McDONOUGH, Sidney ELLIOTT,
Robert
McNAMIE and W. C. McNAMIE. Mr. McNAMIE is well known and very
popular among the young gentlemen of this city. The bride is also
of this city and is a very sweet and attractive young lady.
The Hustings Court adjourned yesterday for the January term.
Quite a number of young men attended the meeting at Fifth
street Methodist
Church last night for men only. These meetings are very interesting,
and the
Rev. Mr. G. H. WILEY gives a standing invitation to all the men
to attend.
They are held every Thursday night.
Mr. R. H. HOOPER, who died so suddenly Wednesday night in
Richmond, was
once a resident of this city. He was a son of the late John H.
HOOPER, a
long resident of this city, but who afterwards removed to Kentucky.
The
deceased has two sisters residing here--Mrs. W. T. PERDUE and
Mrs. Thomas W.
BASS. Mr. HOOPER had a large circle of friends in this city, who
will be
grieved to hear of his sudden death. His funeral will take place
from the
residence of Mr. PERDUE this evening at 3 o'clock. His remains
will be
interred in Maury Cemetery.
Dr. H. RIVERS, the mesmerist, gave another successful entertainment
at
Cersley's Hall, last night, for the benefit of the Alert Fire
company, to a
large audience. The doctor is wonderful with his power of mesmerism.
His
support is also good, especially Prof. S. A. KENNEDY, the ventriloquist,
who
claims to be the youngest on earth. On Saturday night the Doctor
will give
to the most popular young lady an elegant plush toilet case; the
most
popular member of the Fire Department a box of fine cigars; and
the
handsomest genetleman a toilet set, comb, brush and powder handkerchief.
The supper given by the ladies of the Meade Memorial Church
was also well
attended. The ladies will also have another supper to-night. The
proceeds
made at this entertainment are to go toward defraying the expenses
of the
church debt.
Colonel William F. SITH(?), of Chesterfield, has (small piece
of article
partially torn out so a few words missing here), with pneumonia
for a
while(?) he had somewhat improved.
Mr. Thomas H. FISHER, who has been confined at his home for
two weeks with
rheumatism, was well enough to be out to-day.
