 One of the largest and prettiest home weddings occurring in this VII lage for many years took place yes terday afternoon at o'clock, at the residence of Mir and Mrs Joseph Il. Baird.

They sang as they, proceeded along the aisle, their childish voices blending perfectly. Then came the flower girls, Mildred Sharp and Mil fred Hosmer of Springfield, dressed in yellow and carrying baskets of flowers. The bride entered from the left at tired in dress of white Persian lawn over taffeta with veil and carried bouquet of brides roses.
