Mr. Oates, the bridegroom, has for some time been employed in the drapery department of the Swinton Stores, and the bride has also assisted in the grocery department. Both parties are consequently well-known in the district, and have won the esteem and respect of all with whom they have come in contact. A large number of people were present at the church, and witnessed a very pretty scene. The bride was most charmingly attired in a magnificent dress of slate Bengaline silk, trimmed with white accordion pleting chiffon with opal sash.
