and made good display.
At little before noon the ceremony was
duly performed, and alter congratulations by
friends these gifts were formally presented
to the pair by neat little speech by Rev.
Atwater in behalf OF the guests. We came

Mr. and Mrs. Rounsevell, together with a
package of clothes pins went by and they
must take them ''on the fly" Also a pair OF
embroidered hose from Mrs. Sarah James OF
