COUNTY ITEMS.
FROM HOQUIAM.

Saturday evening bus load of Free
Masons visited the Aberdeen lodge and
enjoyed themselves so hugely that every
Mason who stayed at home is mad at
himself.
G. I. Hall, whose namc"iust one year
ago today, love-" graced the Republican
ticket as nominee for senator of Lewis
county, is now in our city and is serious
ly contemplating the removal Of his fam
lily from Winlock to lIoquiam.
Mr.. Leonard the organizer of the Tribe
OF Redmcn, is rapidly getting his list of
charter members filled up. A few days
more will suffice to complete the list, and
thcn-and then the Redmen of Hoq,iam
will be in essc, and the man who does
not come into the lodge as charter
member will have something to regret
the longest day he lives.
The races at AIontesano during the
tournament last week brought laurels to
lloquiam. Frank Rockwell ran four BIZ
cycle races and came out first in three
and second in one. Will Crawford ran
five races and came out first in one and
second in two. An accident in the be-
ginning of the races disabled him so bad.
~ it is Il wonder that he came out first at
all. Our Diamond S base ball team won
the game OF ball with the Montesano team.
BY virtue of the large number of visitors
the most enthusiastic who returned Sat
urday evening were so elated that they
were ready to put lloquiam against the
world.
Last Tuesday evening arrived on sched-
ule time. That fact might be considered
remarkable when it is remembered that
it Was heavily laden with joys, presents,
praises, congratulations ,peals upon pcals
OF laughter, good wishes for the future,
viands and delicacies, and Il lovely we'd
ding cake. The cake was beauty in
itself, being OF immense sixe and richly
ornamented with snowy festoons, gar
lands, buds and roses. The occasion, as
has been announced, was the marriage
OF Miss Elizabeth I.avina Fesenfcld to
Mr.. Alfred William Reed, two of our most
estimable young people. The ceremony
took place at the residence OF the brides
parents,and Rev. Harry Steele olliciated.
The rooms were beautifully decorated
with flowers and evergreens. Every bud,
every blossom did its part and the guests
materially aided in giving to the even. a
most rosy complexion. At $3.50 O'Clock
the parties to be united and their attend
ants were arranged to receive the mar
riage rite, and there, while standing be-
fore the good Reverend and the assembl
ed guests. while the moon above was
shedding a flood of silyery rays over
Mother Earth and Old Neptune was all
unconsciously quietly tapping the glitter
ing strand with its foamy SURF the
happy girl was made a bride; the joyous
man groom. The house was filled to
overlooking with guests and many and
costly presents were given. Although
the evening was bright with millions of
glittcring stars studding the blue sky,
showers fell-showers OF blessings ard
congratulations, until the newly wed
couple were so completely showed under
that only very early spring thaw will
bring them to the surface in time for the
bride to procure her spring bonnet for
Easter. We most cordially extend our
heartie,t congratulations, wishing that
the life that lies stretched ont before
them may be one of sunshine, comfort,
joy and rest
