At three o'clock Wednesday

the marriage of their daughter

Southern and Master Travis
Willis, brother of the bride.
The bridal party entered the
parlor to the strains of Lohen-
grin march played by Miss
Eleanor Scott and stood be.
meath an archway of green and
white where the ceremony was
performed by DR.. e. McNair in
the presence of a large number
of relatives and friends.
The bride wore dress oi
white orgaudy and carried
roses The house was very
prettily decorated in potted
plants and roses of the season.
Following the ceremony de-
licious refreshments were serv,
ed in the dining room after

Lost Foot.

U. s. Curry of Brooktield.
came down Monday to visit his
Monroe friends who were sorry
to see him on crutches and minus
his left foot. Six weeks before
he was switching at night in
the Brookfield yards and it was
only a little misstep and what
has happened to so many others,
happened to him.

The Turner Art Exhibit =

The Turner Art Exhibit
which was sent here free and
was open last Thursday and
Friday at a nominal charge,
proved a treat for the few who
awaited themselves of the op-
portunity. There were two
hundred splendid reproductions
Of world famed paintings, some
in color, very true to the origi.
nails. some III sepia and some ln
black and white. The exhibit
is valued at $500. The pictures
we're hung advautageously and
the arrangement: made the visit
ors feel as if Monroe had a min,
iatuTe worlds fair gallery.
Miss Johnson's studio proved
an admirable place for an exhi'
bition of the kind as the light
was fine both day and night.
There was a very meagre pat
ronage for such an educational
and pleasant treat and since
the object was one of benefit to
the community at large and to
our school in particular, it seems
a great pity that there was not
more public spirit shown in a
/ liberal attendance.
Miss Johnson deserves a vote
of thanks for having turned
over her studio to the public
for two days, having been COM
PEELED to turn away customers
who came to her for photos.
The Century Club wishes to
thank Mr.. Reuben Ober for his
volunteer work as door keeper.
The Exhibit has gone on to a
town in Illinois where we hope
Int will receive more recognition
than it did in Monroe.
1t would perhaps be interest
ling to know that in all the
large cities the press notices
are extremely favorable and We
wish to quote only one. as We
feel st Louis opinion to be o
value here.
