Sun and LAKE City Happenings

Lake City IS badly IN need OF another
barber shop as there are only three IN
that burg now.
Walter Saunders has recently COM
pleted and furnished a nice and COM
modious residence.
i w. B. Redwine Of Goats has pur-
chased residence property in Lake City
again. 1t is the general opinion that he
has come to stay
If Miss lone Able Of Butler, Mo-, who
has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Walter
Saunders. the past three weeks, left on
Monday for her home.
Neighbors have indeed shown char
liable spirit by helping Sam Eager in his
misfortune. Upwards of $500 has been
subscribed ior bis benefit.
The Riepe-Saunders wedding cake
was furnished by Mrs. ]. w. Young
and daughter, Mrs. Hart. We declare
it was the best to which our face has
ever had an introduction.
Rev. Timmons filled the pulpit at Lake
last Sunday, the last time for this confer
ence year. The people are unanimous
In favor Of his return, but he thinks it
probable that he will attend college next
year but has not fully decided.
Another surprise was pulled off at the
home Of Mrs. Massey last Saturday
night which surpassed any similar event
that has transpired in this neck Of the
woods. A company Of so young peo-
/ pie gathered in at about $50 and init
ated Ralph in royal style. His nine
teenth birthday will never be forgotten.
At II o'clock repast Of cake, pie and
fruits Of various kinds were served and
thus ended one Of the most successful
parties Of the season.
1 That which the prophets Of Lake
| City so long ago foretold actually came
to pass March lst at s o'clock p. m,
] when Tom Sallee and Miss Lou Haw-
kins were married. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Timmons in the
presence Of immediate relatives, Miss
Pattie Cooke and Miss Lena Shigley
being exceptions. The bride is a ma
tive Of Kentucky and we indeed think
Tom quite lucky that his lot has fallen
with this young lady who is greatly ad-
mired by all who know her. 1t is graft
flying to know that this worthy couple
will not go to some foreign land to take
up their abode but will be at home in
Lake City. Who'll be the next?
The latest attraction on a rather large
scale was the marriage Of Miss Ruth
!: Saunders to Carl Riepe at the Sun City
Baptist church, March End, at 8 p. m.
While Mendelssohn's wedding march
was being played the bride and groom
escorted by Miss Ruth Fulton and AL
bert Redwine marched from the ante
room around to the rostrum where Rev.
o Adams performed the ceremony in the
! presence Of ESQ people. After receiv-
ing the congratulations Of their many
E friends, they were escorted to the Saun-
ders home where chivalrous clatter Of
= 100 tin cans, buckets and dish pans went
. up in simultaneous blast that might have
been heard for ten miles. This subsided
however, when the cigars and candy
came forth. The bride was gowned in
t white China silk with bridal veil, while
the groom wore a neat fitting suit Of
: black imported crepe and to make this
part Of the story short will say, this cou-
pie were not only looking their best but
they were pretty. The bride, who has
been reared and educated in Sun, is one
Of the most popular young ladies Of the
town and vicinity. For many years she
was organist at the Baptist church and
was useful factor to the community in
many ways. The groom, who for some
three years was one Of Barber county s
successful teachers, is an industrious and
capable young man. They left Thurs
! day morning for Altamont, Kansas, where
+ they will engage in the farming business.
