The Baptist Ladies' Bazaar at the
Academy of Music last Thursday after
noon and evening was largely attended,
and its conduct reflected credit upon
the taste and energy of its promoters.
The room was elegantly decorated and
the booths were unusually attractive.
The social feature was especially pleas
ant. for neighbor met neighbor as
neighbor should. aiding each other in
the enjoyment of the occasion. 1t
gives US pleasure to relate that the f.
nancial end of the program was not
put of accord with the merit of the en-
tertainment.
The following places of business in
Ironton have agreed to close their
stores at z o'clock P. NJ, commencing

urdays and pay days excepted: w.
Fl. Byers, Whitworth & Huff, T. S.
Lopez & Sons, Halter & Esenwein,
Whitworth Sons and Farmhouse Mer-
camille Company. This is a move in
the right direction; it gives the clerks
of these establishments a chance for
recreation, so they are fresh and ready
for business next morning; and the
stores are not heated up with lights,
and insects will seek other quarters.

A beautiful romance eliminated in
st. Louis, Mo-, when MIR. Rutherford
II. Bowman and Miss Myrtle Needham
were united in holy m~atrimony. Miss
Needham vas accompanied from her
home in Tennessee by her father, her
only relative present at the marriage.
Miss Lydia Van Mort, formerly of Iron
county, is very popular with her board
ers, and Mr.. Bowman being one of her
boarders at the time of his marriage,
she planed a surprise for the young
couple by taking charge of their .sOwn
hired house." and preparing them a
nice supper. 1t was hard to tell who
enjoyed the occasion most, Miss Lydia, |
the bride and groom, or the friends
present. The young couple felt quite
at home, although a long way from
their native Tenn. The marriage
took place at 1908 Compton Ave, May

a symbol of sorrow, let it be white.
White is the emblem of purity, the
symbol of peace. the garb in which the
angels are supposed to be robed, the
color of the great throne around which
we like to think Our loved ones gath

If our loved ones could break the ST.

remember them joyfully rather than
sorrowfully.h
