DOUBLE BLESSEDNESS. Last Friday there occurred in Hartland one of the grandest weddings ever held in this county. The two daughters of Mr. Genzke were the same day to be married to young men of that town, and great were the preparations for the grand "hoch geitsfeirer" of these happy couples. The wedding hour was set for ten o'clock, but, owing to the absence of the minister who was to unite them, the Rev. Mr. Koontz, of Belle Plaine, the ceremony wasn't performed until afternoon. Long before the appointed hour however, parties began to gather from all the neighboring towns, as well as from the more immediate circle of acquaintance, and by twelve o'clock the house and grounds were crowded. At two o'clock the first couple, FRED JENSEN and AUGUSTA GENZKE, were married at the house by Rev. J.H.H. Bierbaum, whose services were solicited when it was found that Mr. Koontz would not be there. Soon after this the wedding party moved to the Methodist church, where MARTIN ZERNICKE and LOUISA GENZKE were also married by Mr. Bierbaum. Returning to the house, the wedding festivities were begun, and were kept up without thought of stopping until the next morning. The tables groaned with good things, and every face wore a smile. The rooms were toward evening cleared, the music started up, and the dance commenced, to end only with the appearance of daylight, when the wearied dancers started homeward, wishing to the young people a long life and a happy one.

GILKEY-LOUD. There has been in the minds of all the lumbermen on the river since cold weather set in an anxious inquiry for GEO. GILKEY. Except to those let into the secret, it was a great mystery that he, of all others, should be tardy. Last Friday, however, explained the mystery.  In the evening of that day he was married to Miss ELMA LOUD at the residence of the bride's father, about nine miles southwest of Oshkosh, by Rev. Mr. Vesey. The sisters of the bride, Misses Jennie and Annie Loud, acted as bridesmaids, and Messrs. Fred Morgan and Henry Ross as Groomsmen. After the ceremony, the happy pair received the congratulations and good wishes of their host of friends. A handsome display of costly and beautiful presents evinced the sincerity of the good will of the party. The newly-married couple moved the next day into their house on Church street
which Mr. Gilkey has lately purchased and fitted up for his residence. If not too much entranced with the delights of the honeymoon, George may be expected sometime next week, when his host of friends here may have an opportunity of joining in the congratulations and good wishes of his friends everywhere.

HUME-SCOTT. On Wednesday evening the residence of Hon. T. E. Craine, on Elm street, was the scene of a brilliant gathering, being the occasion of the marriage of JOHN W. HUME to Miss NETTIE A. SCOTT, daughter of Mrs. Craine. The ceremony took place at seven o'clock, there being present the relatives and a few friends of the bride and groom. Rev. Kerr C. Anderson, of the Congregational church, officiated. Miss Mary Washburn was the bridesmaid, and Mr. Hanson of the firm of Cottrill & Hanson, lawyers of Milwaukee, was the groomsman. G. V. Croft and B. J. Musser were the ushers, shortly after the ceremony, invited guests in the number of several hundred began to arrive, and congratulations were in order. During the reception refreshments were served under the supervision of that well-known caterer, E. E. Finnery, which was a sufficient guarantee that there was plenty for all, and of a quality that would cause the mouth of an epicure to fairly water, and were partaken of with a relish. The house was brilliantly lighted and decorated, the decoration being mainly furnished and placed in position by the bride's young lady friends in this vicinity, and everything passed off in the most pleasant manner, the party separating about 11 o'clock.-Oshkosh Times.
