One OF the most notable weddings of
the fall season, in fact of this year,
was this afternoon at 5 o'clock at the
Presbyterian church of this city, when
Miss Bess Mcbride Bull, eldest daugh-
ter of Mrs. Webster Merrifield, wife of
President Merrifield of the state uni
versity, was welded to MIR. Thomas
Donald Campbell of this city, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Campbell, now

Over one thousand cards had been
sent out for this occasion and never
has such a large and fashionable
audience gathered in this church be-
fore. There were many prominent
people from various parts of the state.

the Presbyterian church, now of Chi
cago, came here to perform the cere-
mony.
The church was artistically and
beautifully decorated in white and
green. quantities Of smilax and white
chrysanthemums being used with
beautiful effect. The chancel of the
church presented an exquisite appear
ance with its tall arches of green with
background of white lilies and crysan-
themums.
At half after four began the musical
program in charge of Mr.. Alvin Cliff
ford, who opened it with an organ

Immediately following the ceremony
the wedding party with few old
friends of the families and few of
the more intimate friends of the young
people, adjourned to the Mortified
home at the university, where recep-
ton was held and wedding luncheon
served. The Merrifieli home was
deliberately and artistically decorated
for this occasion. The reception room
was in green alone. The south draw
ing room was beautiful in autumn
leaves and branches arranged with the
touch of the artist, while the dining
room was pretty in green with Amer
lean beauty roses. The reception
continued until half after z, when the
bride donned her going away gown of
green cloth, tailor made, which she
wore hat and gloves to match, and the
young people took their departure on
the evening train followed by a shower
OF rice. They will make an extended
eastern tour, not announcing to their
friends their destination, nor the date
OF their return. The wedding gifts re-
ceived and displayed in the billiard
room at the BRIDES home were most
beautiful and costly and represented
the love and good will of friends from
San Francisco to New York. The bride
is one of the social favorites of our
CITY, having grown to wOmanhOod here

educated in this country, a young man
OF sterling worth and integrity

congratulations. On their return from
the bridal tour they will Immediately
take up their residence in new home
just erected by the groom on Reeves
