Gifts Bestowed On Them

One of the prettiest weddings ever
held in Belding occurred at the beauti-
full home of the late Levi Broas on

to her oft expressed desire the ceremony
took place in the summer house, which
had been profusely banked with wild
flowers and ferns augmented by large
branches of snowballs and spirea.
Just at the hour of ceremony the rain
began falling and it seemed' as if the
long cherished hope would have to be
abandoned but the brides will was un-
changeable and while the assembled
guests stood under umbrellas the beau
tiful wedding service of the Episcopal
church was read and the happy twain
were made one. The groom was tastily
attired in conventional black and the
bride wore snowy gown of French
muslin, bridal veil and corsage bo-
quet of wild crabapple blossoms and
maiden hair ferns.
Following the ceremony three

the bride couple left on the 500 train
amidst copious showers of rice for their
home in the Catskill mountains.

and costly and consisted of solid silver
ware, oriental rugs, fine table linens,
beautiful clocks, furniture and dainty
bric-a- brac.

FREE TUITION LAW
Will Not Go Into Effect Until
Another Year.


The free tuition law which provides
for the payment of tuition and trans
portation to another district where
the nearest high school is located, of
children who have completed the
eighth grade, does not go into effect
this year
The Attorney General has just rend-
cred his decision that the act will not
become operative for the school year
l9O9-l0. This is because none of the
new laws go into effect until Septem-
Der 2, 1909. The tuition law provides
that notice shall be given the board of
education in June and the tax report
ed TO the township clerk when other
school taxes are reported, between the
second Monday of August. 1t is clear
that neither of these proceedings could
be taken this year because the law will
not be in effect on those dates. In
view of the fact that the law will not
take effect for another year the Depart
ment will reserve definite rulings on
the various questions that arise until
the people have time TO become ac-
quainted with it and we are made fam
iliar with all of the conditions connect
ed with the law and taking advantage
of it.
