to a huckster's wagon became terrified at
passing bicycle and ran away, partly de.
molishing the vehicle and causing rapid
fall in eggs, some fifty dozen were soon
decorating the highway, and now an oder
greets us, such as many stump speakers and
politicians have become very familiar with.
The Jamestown Presbyterian Church is
soon to add long needed addition to their
edifice. A new front, consisting of tower

A very nretty wedding was solemnized
at the Jamestown Presbyterian Church on
Wednesday, September LIST, at high noon.
A large crowd of relatives and interested
friends was assembled at that hour to wit
ness the nuptials of Miss Grace Claggett
and Mr.. Brooke Vinson, two of our most
popular young people. The church was
most beautifully decorated by the young
friends OF the fair bride. An arch, com,
posed of crow foot and other evergreens
and the lovely feathery bloom of the wild
carrot, was over the pulpit, which was a
bank of the most beautiful foliage plants
and white flowers, surmounted by a large
bunch of snowy lilies. The stills of the
windows were banked with choice flowers,
the effect was highly artistic and beautiful.
The two ushers, Messrs. Brooke Jones and
Upton ID. Nourse, preceded the bridal pair
up the aisle to the strains of Mendelshon's
Wedding March, brilliantly rendered by
Miss Lula Windsor. The bride, stylish
and graceful blonde, leaning on the arm of
the handsome young groom, looked charm
ing in beautiful tailor made travelling dress
OF gray blue novelty cloth trimmed with
blue velvet cut out in points over white
cloth, with pleating OF white chiffon at
throat and wrist. With this dainty cos
tune was worn a very becoming dark blue
hat trimmed with white flowers. She car
ried an immense bunch OF exquisite Bride
roses tied with wide streamers OF white
watered ribbon.
After the ceremony had been performed
by the pastor, Mr.. Yeakel, in his usual i'm
pressive manner, Mr.. and Mrs. Vinson left
Immediately for Washington, and from there
will go to Atlantic City, where they will
spend some time. The presents received by
the happy couple were very numerous and
costly. The Young Peoples League and
the choir, of which both the bride and groom
are members, presented them with very
elegant solid silver pitcher Of chaste and
handsome design. The good wishes of many
friends and the hope OF happy future go
with this young couple as they enter upon
their new life together.
