ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 2.-The mem
bers of the Minnesota Editorial as
ISOLATION were the guests of honor
at the exposition today. Under the
chaperonage of President Whitney
and H. P. Hall, the party, nearly
200 in number, arrived early this
| morning and were driven at once to
the Oriental, where rooms had been
engaged. After breakfast the asso-
| ciaition drove i'm a body to the fair
grounds, where the exercises of the
day consisted of speeches of welcome
by Walter G. Cooper, chief of pub
licity and promotion; W. A Hemp
hill, acting president of the expo
tion, and III. H. Cabaniss, president
of the Georgia Press association. Re
plying to these addresses, speeches
were made by Mr.. Whitney, Lieut.
Gov. Day and H. P. Hall, whose
humorous illusions to watermelons
and war clouds quite brought down
the house. The forestry building,
upon the roof garden of which the re-
ception was given, is adjacent to
the midway, and in almost no time
after the arrival on the grounds of
the Minnesota aggregation, the pur-
pie badges of the Minnesotans might
be seen i'm any of the tents from the
Dahomey village to the beauty
show.
Wednesday evening is fireworks
evening, and many stayed on the
grounds to witness the exhibition and
the storming of Wei Hal Wei, while
the others returned to the city for
a good nights rest after their long
but altogether pleasant journey.
1t was not for Minnesota to be sec
ond in any event of interest here
today. One of the best known citi-
zens Of the North Star state and of
late man of no little Importance in
the politics of the nation, today cele-
brated his nuptials in the presence
of most select assemblage of
friends, and the Hotel Oriental had a
wedding performed in it's parlors for
the first time. M J. Bowling, of the
Renville Star-Farmer, secretary of
the Minnesota Press association, and
of the National League of Repub-
lican Clubs of the United States.
gained in Miss Jennie L. Bordwick,
of Granite Falls, Mimi, blushing
bride and future helpmeet. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. J. B.
Robbins, pastor of the First Meth
odist church, in the presence of
Miss Genevieve M. Brown, of st.
Paul, who acted as maid of honor,
and L. j. Edmondson, of Chattanoo-
ga, who was best man. The couple
dined very unostentatiously this to-
night at the Oriental, but their meal
was constantly interrupted by con-
gratulations from the Minnesotans
as they passed the bride and groom
in going in to dinner. Late in the
evening some of the most merry of
the party engaged and sent up the
hallway to the bridal chamber a
strong band of colored banjoists.
who serenaded the happy pair in the
most approved style, and whose
music had the desired result in bring
ing bride and groom to the door,
where each thanked their many
friends whose kindness they appre-
ciated, and whom they hoped to see
at any time after the 18th, when they
will be at home at the Wellington
hotel, Chicago.
