    A POPULAR WEDDING
    Last night, a wedding of more than passing interest to the people of Calgary took place at the residence of the bride's father, Ex-Mayor Cushing, when his second daughter, Miss Alice Maud, was united in the holy bonds to F. F. Higgs, proprietor of the Calgary Furniture Store, one of the most popular young men in the city.
    The Rev. Fred Langford, pastor of the Methodist church, tied the knot in the presence of only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties.
    Miss Cushing and Mr. Higgs were both for a number of years prominent members of the choir of the Methodist church, and both enjoyed in a singular degree the respect and esteem of a very large circle of friends.
    The wedding presents were many and of a handsome nature. Amongst them was a very handsome silver service presented by the Young Liberals club, of which Mr. Higgs is the president.
    Mr. And Mrs. Higgs are taking up their residence in a comfortable home in the north end of the town.
    The Herald joins with many friends in wishing them a long, long life, and every happiness and prosperity.
