The mandamus proceedings to
test the local option election in this
county was argured in st. Louis
Court of Appeals on last Tuesday.
The "wets" having taken the tes-
timony of County Clerk Lawrence
to try to establish the fact that the
County Court did not properly de-
termine the number of signers to
the petition, their principal con-
tention was to go back of the or
der OF judgment of the County
Court. After hearing quite a Wig
erous and thorough argument, the
Court of Appeals very pointedly
intimated that all matters of con-
tention would be eliminated ex-
cept the fact as to whether the
February census of Pennington
was legally and properly taken,
and if so, whether it was in time
to be of any binding legal force
upon the County Court at the time
of ordering the local option cleo.

emily confident of victory. One of
the attorneys of the County Court
stated that the "wets' were "whist-
ling to keep up their courage"
Messrs. Rozier, Anthony and Far
ris represented the "wets" and
Messrs. Marbury and Tucker the
"drys." 1t is not expected that
the final opinion will be handed
down before the October term of
the st. Louis Court of Appeals

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. S. Pillsbury, of 1925 Westmins-
ter Place, was the scene of a pretty
home wedding last Wednesday
evening, June Oath, the contract
ing parties being Miss Nannette
A. Brown, daughter of Mrs. S. j..
Brown, and Mr.. William M. Ward.
The house was decorated in a pro-
fusion of pink and white roses.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. George Steel. Miss Florence
Brown, sister of the bride, was
maid of honor, and Misses Lottie
Prince and Leila O'Neal were
bridesmaids. Mr.. Oliver Ward,
brother of the groom, was best
man. Little Arthur Ward, neph-
ew of the groom, acted as ring
bearer. The bride was given away
by her brother, MI. William H. R.
Brown. The bride was gowned in
a white lingerie toilet of Paris
muslin, deliberately trimmed with
insertions and plisses of hand
some lace. She carried a shower
of white roses and sweet peas.
The maid of honor and brides
maids wore pretty toilets of white
muslin, each gown being trimmed
in a profusion of lace. They each
carried shower bouquets. An in
formal reception followed the cere-
mony, after which the bride and
groom left, amid a shower of rice,
for a trip on the Great Lakes, and
a sojourn in Canada. Upon their
return they will reside at 1877
Goodfellow avenue, where they
have a we'll appointed home ready
for occupancy. They expect tc
return before the close of July.
May every blessing be theirs!
There is quite a colony of Iron
tonians at Los Angeles, California,

expressing it's goodwill toward
them and in noting their incom-
