CURTIN — McGOWAN.

A wedding which attracted considerable attention took place at the Mataura Catholic Church on Wednesday of last week, when Mr. Peter Curtin, of the local freezing works, was married to Miss Ellen McGowan, fourth daughter of Mr. Daniel MoGowan, of Mataura. The ceremony was performed and a Nuptial Mass celebrated by the Rev. Father O'Donnell in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends of both parties. The bride was attended by her two sisters, Misses Bella and Bessie MoGowan. and Mr. Patrick Curtin, brother to the bridegroom, acted as best man. The churoh was very tastefully decorated for the occasion. After the ceremony the newly-wedded oouple and a number of friends adjourned to the residence of the bride's parents, where the wedding breakfast was laid. The wedding presents were valuable and numerous, among them being a set of dinner ware and a hanging lamp, presented to Mr. Curtin by his fellow-employees of the freezing works. Mr. and Mrs. Curtin left in the afternoon for Dunedin, where the honeymoon was spent.
