Orange Blossoms Last night at the home of the bride on Quaker Hill was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Ellsworth Hinshaw and Miss Blanche Hiatt, Rev. J. W.

They go immediately to housekeeping on West Franklin Street in the house formerly occupied by Dell Hinshaw.

B. and Mary (Carter) Hinshaw, old residents of the county.    Our subject was reared on the home farm and early inured to toil, but at the age of twenty he left the farm and engaged in general merchandising at Snow Hill for a year, and then passed the succeeding four years in the school room - three of them in the Portland Normal.    He then became Deputy Surveyor of Hendricks County, Indiana, and filled the position three months, and then, toward the close of 1888, returned to Randolph County and took charge of the surveyor's office at Winchester, in connection with the County Civil Engineer.    He is a Republican in politics, is quite popular and is well esteemed for his general good character and genial disposition.    He owns 148 acres of fine land in his native township, which is well improved.
