Miss Nellie b. Perry, the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. e. B. Perry, of south
Audubon. township, appeared before
Rev. J. +. Nichol at the Methodist par

afternoon and were married. These
are two of our very best young people,

of life manfully. Their new home will

A pretty and elaborate wedding was
solemnized by Rev. W. ". Hartsough,
pastor of the Extra Congregational
church, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John l. Hensley, on east Washington
street last Wednesday night, March, 10
when he Joined their niece, Miss Mercy

Iowa Falls, in the bonds of wedlock.
The Hensley residence was lit up and
decorated until one could almost be-

Gents wand. The bridal party left
the next day for Iowa Falls and after a

Vulnerable graces of heart and hand.
The groom is young man OF sterling

That was pretty, happy and a

city of West Extra last Thursday night
called thither to witness the marriage
of their daughter, Miss Susie Huyck to
Mr.. H. A. Nelson. Rev. Whitaker

wishing the newly welded people all
manner of good luck the party sat
down to one of those wholesome din

know how to prepare, where jollity and
good will predominated. May heavens
choicest blessings crown the lives OF
this worthy couple.
Sunday came on Monday again this
time down here and though slight
rain was falling the Methodist church
was packed full at ten o'clock, just
to see Rev. and Mrs. Sunday, their son
George and the baby, Miss Larimer,
and listen to her sweet voice, Professor
Fred Fischer, and to hear Mr. Sunday
preach and to grasp them by the hand
was deemed rare privilege and all
availed themselves of the opportunity.
They were obliged to leave us on the
one o'clock train for Chicago so the
services were necessarily short. The
Sunday party were the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. J. b. Rendleman. The time
to go came all too soon and so good
byes were said and they started on
their way to Paramount, Indiana to be-
gin another meeting.
Last Saturday March %, Miss Ethel
Riley the daughter of Doctor and Mrs.
John Riley of this city, was twenty years
old and her parents decided that so
important an event should no go by
unnoticed, so they sent out invitations
to a number of Miss EthePs girl
friends bidding them come to the
family home that day and help cele-
brate the event. Right in the midst of
much mirth a Kodak iiend appeared at
the party. He was intently gazing
into the "finder' and was startled to
see theIphysiognomy of Drayman Free
Anders coming up before him, but it
was too late, the lever was shot across
and the negative was made. Alta late
hour the company departed leaving
Miss Ethel some tokens of their love
but she is worthy of the best the earth
affords.
Last Sunday we stood at grave into
whose depths the body of Miss Lottie
Bennett had been lowered. For about
seven years she was teacher in the
Extra public schools and lady mncl
admired by all the scholars of the
school, and she was universally loved
by every patron of the school and by
the whole community. She was {
true christian girl, member of the
Extra Congregational church, an active
and aggressive workerin the church ant
the Sunday school and her life has oil
ways been as pure and spotless as
lily. Her father, William Bennett,
died some years ago OF consumption
and there were seeds sown in hel
system which year or two ago begar
to make themselves seen, so much sc
that she was forced to resign hel
position and in May 1901 went to the
mountains about Pixies Peak, in Colo
RADIO, with the hope of receiving help
She experienced temporary relief but
she came home in the early fall much
weak ened in health. From this time
on until the day of her death the friends
who knew her best were very sad to
see her fade day by day when no hand
could be reached out to save. On last
Thursday. the Misses Mollie Delahoyde
and Sausie WEIGH, two of her close
girl friends, called in the evening and
found her cheerful and they thought
better. No one was in the house with
her and her mother that night and they
both retired at the usual time, though
the mother was up several times to
minister to her daughters wants. At
about 5 o'clock in the morning Miss
Lottie called her mother and telling
her the end was surely near, bade her
