Cameron Wedding.

Ralph Duvall and Blanche Farm
ham were married last Tuesday and
are now classed among the great
home makers whose duty it is to pre-
serve our great national existance.
Ralph Duvall needs no words of
praise to prove to those who know
him, the title of man. He has stall
wart, high minded honesty, a loyal
steadfastness to friends, willingness
to work and knack to succeed. He
has conducted himself in a gentle
manly manner, enjoys the esteem,
confidence and respect of his associ-
ates and friends.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.and
Mrs. Chas. Farnham and is one of the
most admired young ladie of the COM
munity. She has that peculiarly low
able disposition that makes people be-
lieve in her and loyalty that holds
them. Her wide circle of true friends
attests to her popularity and they con-
fidently expect and believe that hers
will be home of sunshine, hope and
happiness to them and to all who
come within its portals.
