A JUNE WEDDING.
Miss Mayme Prior of Cassville mar
ried to DR.. r. w. Falls of Prairie
du Chen,

every mower blooming, every bird
singing, leach clod feeling a stir
of might, the sweet soft sounds of
wedding bells were heard pealing
forth their pleasing and prophetic
tones in our peaceful hamlet on
the banks of the father of waters
Truly one might have said ''Oh,
what is SO rare as day in June"
for all nature in it's verdure spoke
in eloquent terms of the beauty
serenity on every hand. The great
river moved on in majestic silence,
not a rifle perturbing it's placid
bosom, so with the wedding cere-
mony which joined DR.. Robert
Wilson Falls of Prairie du Chen
and Miss Name Prior, of Cassville
in the holy bonds Of matrimony.
The scene of this happy function
was at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gus Prior, the rooms of which were
beautifully and uniquely decorated
with garlands wreaths obeds of
roses, carnations and ferns. At
promptly nine o'clock the sweet sill
very strains of Memberships we'd
ding march were heard stealing
forth from the Hastily decorated
parlor and the wedding march be-
gan. 1t was led by DR.. Pohle, of
Gutenberg and Mr.. Fawcett of
Platteville, followed by the brides
maid, Miss Gertrude Josten, of Glass;
vile and the matron of honor, Mrs.
DR.. Pohle of Gutenberg, the groom,
DR.. R. Walls of Prairie du Chen,
and the best man, DR.. C. w. Powers
of Dubuque, the bride, Miss Name
Prior and her father of Cassville,
the ring bearer, Miss Gertrude
Lewis of Dubuque and Rev. Brown
of Darlington.
Beneath a sylvan arch deeply
bedded with flowers, surrounded
with ferns and overhung with a
massive wedding bell built of roses
stood the bridal pair. To say that
they were an impressive and at
tractlve looking couple would be
putting it mildly. The bride wore
a beautiful white silk gown trimmed
with silk lace and carried brides
roses while the groom was attired
in full Dress" The soft enchanting
strains as played by Miss Bess Bart
ley of Bloomington now died away
almost to the inaudible and amidst
the weird faintness of the plaintive
tones Rev. Brown, in an impressive
manner, performed the solemn cere-
mony which made the bride and
groom as man and wife.
Propitious and promising indeed
were the conditions under which
this fortunate couple began their
voyage on the domestic sea of mat
rimony, showered with roses, sur
rounded with costly presents and
smmothered with good wishes and
congratulations they set sail.
After the ceremony the assemb-
lage was favored and also delighted
with piano solo by Miss BARLEY
of Bloomington and vocal solo by
Mrs. Chas. Lewis of Dubuque.
Both were exceptionally well rem
dered and each was responded to
with an encore. The guests were
then served to a most excellently
prepared supper after which the
congenial, jovial crowd INDUCED in
story telling and various methods
of merry making until the dial
pointed to the hour when grave
yards yawn and give up their dead.
At which time a portion of the
party escorted Mr.. and Mr.. Falls to
the depot where they boarded the
train amidst cloudburst
of rice, old shoes and good wishes.
The evening was most pleasant
one-one of those which really
make life worth the living and it
goes without saying that the eve of
June 5th will be one long to be re-
fact the home was a
rendezvous of joy and merriment-
the crowd full of good cheer and
brotherly fellowship-the spirit of
the evening optimistic and health
full. 1t is the sincerest wish of all
that the young couple may have
long and happy welded life-one
ever attended with pleasure, profit
and enjoyment in their new home
at Prairie du Chen.
DIR Hartford added to the enjoy
ment of the evening by taking the
out-of-town guests for boat ride
in his gasoline launch.
Those attending from out of town
