CHINA WEDDING.


Henry Cummings and wife were at
home last Saturday evening to their
friends it being their twentieth we'd
ding anniversary. At seven O'Clock
the guests began to arrive and in
short time the commodious rooms were
we'll filled. The room were beautifully
decorated in the Christmas colors and
with holly. smylax and ferns. The
Cumming family have always resisded
in this county and have many warm
friends, so it was with difficulty the
line was drawn. so as not to over
crowd the space. There were about
seventy-five jolly and happy people
present to make the evening one long
! to be remembered.
Mrs. Cummings introduced novel
guessing contest that was very inter
esting. Mrs w. E. Terry of Denison
captured the prize for which she re-
ceived a china plate.
Miss Kavanaugh of Dunlap executed
several piano selections that were
very much appreciated. Miss Flor
ence Cushman sang two very pretty
solos which gained new laurels for her
already wide reputation as beauti-
full singer. DR.. Van Metre favored
them with solo. 'Love's Old Sweet
Song which was very appropriate
and we'll received.
An elegant three course luncheon
was served to which all did ample
Justice. Mr.. Cummings received much
praise for her culinary ability. She
was assisted by Mrs. Wettengel, Miss
i o. Damon and Miss McNalley. while

A travelling troup came to Arion on
Sunday evening and stopped at one of
our hotels. There seemed to be some
Misunderstanding with the manager
and the actors. The manager had
failed to give to the actors their COM
pensation for their service. there were
six gentlemen and four ladies. but the
duty seemed to fall upon one of the
ladies to tell Mr.. Manager what they
thought of him. and his negligence in
this important duty. Her language
was somewhat harsh and pointed and
the manager had her arrested for dis
turbing the peace. The trial came off
Monday before Mayor Conrad. but for
the lack of sufficient evidence the lady
was released. and the troup went to
Logan Monday where they gave their
play that evening. The manager could
not produce sucffiient currency to pay
costs for trial so his trunk has been
kept until the expense of the trial is
covered.
