The coming convention of the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress which will be held in the city
of Washington the week of Deem
Der 5th., promises to be the largest
gathering of waterway enthusiasts
ever held in this or any other coun-
try. With President Taft sounding
the keynote for a comprehensive
policy on the part of the Federal
Government towards the rivers, har-
bors and canals of the Nation, an
earnest of what the Convention will
reflect in the way of public sentiment
on this great question is disclosed.
With the Federal Congress in session
and the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress meeting Simultaneous
ly the National Capital will be crowd
ed with notables, men and women
who are making the improvement Of
the waterways as much of a study as
the tariff, and the conservation of our
natural resources.

Byron S. Payne, Joined in Wedlock.
At 8 o'clock last evening, at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j..
e. Mallory. occurred the marriage of
Miss Jessie Blanche Mallory and Byron
S. Payne. The ceremony, witnessed by
the relatives and large number Of in
vited guests, was performed by Dr..
Askin, pastor of the Congregational
church.
The Mallory home was beautiful with
it's decorations of cut flowers, the pink
and white color scheme being in evil
dence everywhere.
While the guests were arriving, mu-
steal numbers were rendered by Mrs.
Mccarthy; following came the bridal
chorus by Misses Ayres, Bennett, Edith
and Marguerite Anding. Misses Schu
bert, Gleckler, Winifred Mead and Ruth
Mead, walking two and two, bore fes
toons Of pink and white. Miss Jean
Mallory, as maid of honor, following.
The ring bearer, Edward Dixie, carry
ing pink rose came next; then came
the bride leaning upon the arm of her
father, when Rise, IT'S Thy Wedding
Morn" was sang with great effect.
The bride wore a becoming gown of
French crepe. Then, as the strains of
music softened, DR.. Askin proceeded
with the ring ceremony and joined to-
gether until death do them part Miss
Jessie Blanche Mallory and Byron S.
Payne.
Congratulations, and best wishes for
a long life of unalloyed happiness, hav-
ing been extended, the company were
invited to partake of a wedding dinner.

Invites, it was announced that Mr.. and
Mrs. Payne would leave this morning
for the coast, and would return about |
October 1, when they would begin home

Mr.. and Mrs. Payne are held by all

but respect and admire; he is lawyer
of recognized ability. That he will

young lady who is to share his home.
She, too, has been prominent in the
