Whittemore, where their daughter,
Annie Rawson whittemore, and Albert
otis Wheeler. were united In marriage
bv Rev. II. \. Roberts, pastor OF the
First Baptist Church, Paris Hill. The
bride wore white albatross dress
trimmed with white lace and ribbon, and
pink and white bridal roses. They had
many beautiful presents and best wishe:
from many friends.
As display of patches and rags, the
poverty party Friday evening was
bowling success. IL was a pretty hard
looking crowd. The tramps that sc
frequently take lodgings at Hotel d.
Garland dOn't begin 10 look so bad, Il
they did they would lose caste with the
''profesh." Very appropriately, both
prizes for the worst looking costume:
went into Hungry Hollow, the ladies
prize being awarded 10 Mrs. Fannie
Whitman, and the gentlemen's To l.. n
Stone. The prizes evidently came frou
toy store, and are more 10 be esteemed
from the fact thst they are prizes thar
from intrinsic value.
