A Pretty Wedding.

There was very pretty wedding
at the home of our townsman,
James Dunn, yesterday at noon
when his daughter, Bessie Irene,
was united with Roy L. Wilhelm in
marriage. The bride was arrayed
in white and carried a bouquet of
lilies of the valley, and while the
words were spoken by the officiating
clergyman which joined the couple
for life, they stood under beauti-
full arch of roses from the center of
which there hung a wedding bell.
The young couple were attended by
r. L. Hagg as best man and by
Miss Lewis Carpenter as lady's
maid. The guests were nearly all
relatives of either family, or close
intimate friends. The ceremony
was followed by wedding feast
Astounding in good things.
The occasion was marked by many
beautiful and appropriate gifts
all kinds, from rugs and furniture
to silverware and artwork. The
best wishes attend the young people
as they thus found their new home.

There is NO particular breed Of
winter layers, although such d claim
is sometimes made. 1t is well, how
ever, to avoid these breeds which
have large combs, as a hen with a
frozen comb will lay no eggs until
warm weather. Where fowls are
bred and managed for winter layars
for some years, the disposition to lay

troubles worse than those they are
seeking to avoid. A house perfecuy
dry and fresh air are essentials to The
well being of the winter flock. The
building should be reasonably tight,
