Our popular photographer, Miss J.
H. Elton, recently finished fine piece
of work for the First National Bank,
of Woodbury..
1 The officials were DESTROYS Of having
Ia picture of each president of the bank
Esince it was founded in 1855 for the
directors room and Miss Elton was
commissioned to do the work Only
tin types could be found of one or two,
and in one instance the photograph
had to be taken from an oil painting.
| However, Miss Elton overcame all diff
iculties and the pictures are a credit
to her skill. She has duplicate pic
| lures on exhibition. She laughingly
states that the picture of President
Willard F. Dubois is the only one she
took from the raw material" 20
The Tom Thumb wedding was given
/ to full house, Saturday evening and
proved to be an unusually pretty en-
tertainment. Prof Brainard presided
at the piano. The little guests in
long dresses and with their hair done
up, some with escorts in full dress,
presented a pretty sight as they were
brought in by ushers in conventional
dress. Such ladies as Mrs Theodore
Roosevelt, Mrs. Governor Fort, Mrs.
Governor Hughes, the Empress of
Germany, and number of local la
dies were announced through the meg
aphone. The last two guests to ar
rive before the entrance of the bridal
party were announced as 'The Presi-
Dental candidates, Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Bryan" The applause can be imagin-
ed when they proved to be a boy of
about years and a curly-haired tot of
just 3 years, both in full dress. The
little tot, and whether he was Mr.
Taft or Mr.. Bryan. we know not, had
to climb up into his chair but he made
it all right. The bridal party looked
fine and the little ones went through
the comic ceremony nicely An ex-
cellent entertainment was given in adj
dition to the wedding. The wedding,
with a different entertainment follow
ing, will be repeated on Monday ev-
ening the Gath.
