Notes:

The occasion of the marriage ceremony performed Thursday by Rev. L Kirtley, at the residence of Mr. G. R. Byrne on Lansing avenue, was one of the happiest and most pleasant of the season, and was really a brilliant affair. It was the marriage of Eliza, a daughter of Mr. Byrne, to George W. Scotford, one of the Citizen office typos. The rooms of the pleasant residence were beautifully decorated with evergreens and choice flowers, and the marriage ceremony was performed with the couple standing under a large wedding bell of white flowers, and made binding with a ring. The bride was neatly, but not gorgeously, attired in pure white, and Miss Libbie Wilson and Messrs. Esler and Will Hamilton acted as brides maid and groomsmen, making a handsome wedding party. The presents were numerous and valuable, many of these being from friends and abroad. The couple left on the morning train eastward, and will be absent a few weeks visiting friends in Detroit, Port Huron, Toledo and other points.
