GHURCH--pLATTNER,

[rsFp. HEEIGaaS 49,
At high noon on Wednesday,
June 7, 1905, Miss Anna Thresia
Plattner became the wife Of Dr..
Truman 7. Church. The beauti-
full and impressive ceremony was
performed at the home Of the
brides parents, MI. and Mrs. Jos.
.Plattner, by Rev. ather Keene Of
Springfield in the presence Of d
large gathering Of relatives and.
friends. Promptly at twelve o'clock
the wedding march was struck BY
Miss Cora Dilger, when the bridal
party, preceded by little Laura
Plattner, cousin of the bride, car
rying the ring on a cut glass tray,
approached the altar which was ar
ranged under a beautiful arch of
ferns andzsnoWballs .Where4the-of-
floating clergyman stood in wait
ing to pronounce the solemn words
which were to make them husband
and wife until death shall them
part.
Immediately after the ceremony
the guests repaired to the dining
room where a most delicious and
we'll planned. feast was prepared for
them, such as only those acquaint-
ed with the kind hospitality of Mr..
and Mrs. Plattner can appreciate.
The decorations were Of white
and green, principally ferns and
snowballs. The bride was attired
in a beautiful changeable blue silk
dress, and the groom IN the usual
black. The young couple were the
recipients OF many handsome and
useful gifts, which will adorn the
beautiful home in the south part of
town that will be ready for them to
occupy in a few days.
The bride is a young lady Of Gull
ture and refinement, whose anna
bic disposition has made her a gen.
eral favorite with all who know
her. The groom is a young den
fist who has been located in Scot.
land for about a year and is high
ly respected both in business and
social circles. Both are deserving
of the hearty congratulations which
they are freely receiving from their
many friends.

We omitted last week to men,
ton the home talent entertainment
given in the Presbyterian church
Friday evening, May 26th, not that
the entertainment was not worthy
of a most favorable mention, but
because in the rush of other mat
ters it was Internationally over
looked. The program consisted of
a short address by Rev. A. W.
Thurston on The Sphere of Wom-
an solos by Miss Irene Saarosy,
Miss Genie Parmenter, Rev. H. r.
Upton aud Prof. Sherwood duette
by Misses Saarosy and Wanek ;
and re%citations by Mrs. O. P.
Shaw, Mrs. Parr, Miss Ethel
Haynes and Mrs. King. This was
the first appearance Of Mrs. Parr
before a Scotland audience, and
also the nfst tlme tnaC MISS Saar-
osy has appeared since she return
ed from Omaha where she had been
taking voice culture. It is need
less to say that both of them ac-
quilted themselves very nicely and
fully met the expectations of the
audience. The appearances of the
other participants in the program
are always pleasing to Scotland
audiences, and this occasion was
no exception in this respect. The
exercises brought out d fine dis.
play of local talent and did credit
to the participants and to Mrs.
Dollard who arranged the program
and presided at the meeting.
