married at the home f the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. p. Caine, on South Second
avenue last Friday night, the
ceremony having been perfor m
ed by Rev L. NJ. Broyles, pastor
of the First Methodist church.
The marriage was quite a sur
prise to the community, not even
the most intimate friends of the
bride having been informed OF
her intention to enter the state
of matrimcny. Mr.. Rhodes ar
rived from Meridian on the train
that reaches COlum bus at 8 ID p.
M, and arrangements for the
wedding were Immediately ef-
fected. A marriage license was
secured from Circuit Clerk Gun

ORCHESTRAL EVENT
The DamrosCh Orchestra
Will Appear at the
College Chapel.

Arrangements have been per
fected whereby the famous Dam
rOsch Orchestra will appear at
the chapel of the Industrial In
stitute and Callege, in this city.
on the evening of Monday, April
Both. Every one who is even a
cursory reader of the magizines
and daily papers Of the country
k lows that the DamroSch Or.
chestra is one of the greatest. if
not absolutely the foremost musi-
cal OrganiZ ,tIon now in eXiS ence.
1t is known not Ouly in America,
but IN Europe, and is recognized
the world over as being without
superior. perhaps without an
equal as symphony orchestra.
The name of Walter Damroch
is as ia liar to lovers of music
as is that of Richard Mansfield
to ad mirerS of the dramatic art.
and as an orchestra leader, he oc-
cupies a position which stands
far in advance OF that of any of
his contemporaries. Ia order to
realize the magnitude of the at
traction one has only TO consider
that a concert by the Damroch
Orchestra is looked upon as a
special musical event in New
York City, and the appearance
of the great organization in Co
lumb bus is indeed noteworthy, and
will afford our citizens and the
people throughout the State an
opportunity Of hearing an orches-
ira which seldom visits cities
whose population does not exceed
fifty thousand.
1t was only through the offer
of a large guarantee than this
fam Gus organization was induced
W COhjC ~ Wi ~ III Ou~. ana GfIIS
guarantee was given with the
knowledge that the concert would
be attended by an audience Of
magnificent proportions. All the
great musical attractions that
have appeared here in the past
have been literally patronized,
and as the DamrOsch Orchestra
is the greatest Of shem all. it will
in all probability be greeted by
the largest audience ever assem-
bled in COlum bus.
The price Of tickets, together
with the time and place at which
they go on sale Will be announc-
ed later
