If ever two bridal couples had
occasion to be proud of hearty
welcome home they are Mr.. and
Mrs. George Alberts and Mr.. and

and right royal reception was the
result. Mr.. George Alberts and

scarcely forget. All of Franks
friends were at the depot to meet
him. A committee consisting of
Mr.. Hummer, Capt. Gray and DR..

ceremonies. Mr.. and Mrs. Cook
were conducted from the coach to a

and thence hauled by some 100 men
and boys to the hotel. Here an in
formal reception was held till
Frank recovered sufficiently from
his surprise to realize what was to
