A JUNE WEDDING.
The Marriage Of two of Sank
Centres Most Popular
Young People.

The social event of the year, so far,
and one in which Sank Centre takes
especial pride and pleasure, is the
of Miss Una Sabrina Rob
bins to Harold Dean Whitefield, last
evening at the Congregational Church.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Geo. E. Smith, pastor Of the church..
At exactly fifteen minutes past eight
Miss Adelaid Tanner and Miss Blanche
Howard entered the church from the
choir room and Miss Howard played
the Swedish Wedding March" until
the arrival of the bridal party at $50.
The Miss Tanner sang 80 Pro Mise
me-" beginning of the second verse
was the signal for the entrance of the
wedding party, and just as the fir t
notes sounded the groom accompanied
by Ray Robbins entered from the par
lor door and took his place before the
church altar, and the bride proceeded
by the ushers the bridesmaids and the
maid of honor, entered from the vesti-
bule. The maid of honor and the
bride walked alone. Arriving at the
altar the ushers separated and passed
on the right and the bridesmaids on
the left where they remained during
the ceremony, Upon the bride and
groom taking hands, Rev. Geo. E.
Smith propounded the usual questions
which were answered by each in firm,
clear tones, heard distinctly over the
entire church. The Congregational
ritual was read by MIR. Smith, a
prayer offered and then Mr.. White
field married Miss Robbins with a
golden band, repeating the words,
"With this ring, / thee do wed, :" ETC.,
with as much assurance as though
cashing checks in the bank. A short
prayer concluded the ceremony, and
with the bride leaning on the arm of
the groom the couple passed out of the
church followed by the bridal train,
and the party was driven to the brides
home where a reception was held.
1t was not an elaborate wedding but
it was extremely beautiful in it's sim
plicity and the bride, always lovely
looked very sweet in her wedding at
tire, as she tripped lightly down the
altar to plight her troth with the man
of her choice. She was dressed in
cream null over white taffeta silk
trimmed with lace and carried bridal
roses in her hand, as also did each OF
the bridesmaids.
The church was handsomely decor
ated, large and imposing triumphal
arch entirely covered with gray foxtail
grass set with punches of carnations
and roses, stood in front of the altar.
The rostrum was one flower garden OF
plants and bouquets of peouies and
roses adorned every available spot.
1t was artistic and very pretty.
This union of themembers from two
of the pioneer settlers OF this place
gives peculiar significance to the &C.
casion and lends a charm of romance
to it all that incites heartiest congratu-
lations and sincere wishes for a long
and happy union, from the entire COM
munity.
The presents were numerous and
valuable, collection of beautiful and
useful gifts speaking eloquently of the
high esteem in which the couples held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitefeld left on the
night train for Geneva Beach, where
they will spend week, returning here
to GO to housekeeping in the rooms
over Hanson & Emerson's drug store.
They have taken their bicycles with
them and win spend these delightful
days in the cool drives among the
lakes of Douglas county.
Both the young people were born
and raised in this city, graduating
from the high school and both have
grown into the highest esteem of all
who have known them. They have
at the same church, been
active and efficient workers in the
Christian Endeavor society, discharg-
ing their duties with conscientious
fidelity. In the social circles they
have been favorites, as the church
decorations and large number OF
friends present attested, and it is with
feelings OF genuine pleasure that they
all bade them God speed in the new re-
lations which they have assumed to
each other. Mr.. White6eld has been
connected with the First National bank
for the past eleven years,a young man
of sterling worth, who has filed his
