Wedding Bells.

A very Important wedding bringing
together two of Riceville's choice
families, occurred at the delightful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Hen bricks,
on Wednesday morning, April 10, 1901,
the eldest son of Hon. r. T. st. John,
was united in marriage to Ruby, the
only daughter of Mr.. James Hen
bricks. Rev. N. L. Prckard performed
the ceremony.
The wedding was simple and TASTY
affair, only the immediate friends be-
ing present. The bride made a very
attractive appearance dressed in her
neat "going away gown" and with a
boquetof lilies of the valley and mai
den hair fern, while the groom in his
conventional black was fitting com
panion. Mr.. A. G.. Hawkins, of St.
Paul, and Miss Grace R. Mosher, of
Rlceville, attended and performed
their parts we'll as groomsman and
bridesmaid. Mrs. Earl Adams PLAYED
the march at the coming of the bridal
party.
After the ceremony, all partook of
most inviting repast, and the table
was decorated with carnations and
SmilaX.
Among the valuable presents was
check Of five hundred dollars for
the groom and of one hundred fifty
for the bride, presented by the father,
and two gold pieces by Bert and Ethel
Hendricks.
Earl st. John has spent much of his
years at Usage and Riceville and is
we'll known as most estimable young
man. He acquitted himself with cred
it at Iowa College and was popular in
Grinnell society. For some time he
has been holding a railroad position
in the Great Western office at St.
Paul.

took the train at once for ST. Paul,
where they are to remain but few
weeks, they return and make their
nome at Riceville. -Riceville Recorder.
