heart could desire, and with showers
of congratulations and China's cereal,

the bridal party and guests. consisting
of delicious ice cream from the Webster
Candy Factory, bride and groom cake
and all the other numerous deicacies
that form an elegant supper. A large
bouquet of red, white and pink carna-

piece adorned the table with fresh cut
violets nesting here and there. The
dainty place cards were also decorated
with hand-painted violets, sweet en-

napkins bore che same spring blossoms.
These appropriate colors. with smiaX
and fern, were profusely used in the
decorations.
The groom came from Michigan, his
native state, in 1888, with his parents,
who settled on the southeast quarter of
section 26. Here his childish prattle
was heard during the years of adver-
sites, giving JOY to the surroundings Of
pioneer times. Here also were spent

clerk for several years, and last Nov
ember received commission as notary
public.

graduated from Latin professional
course at the state normal college at

her efficient labors as instructress, she
was granted state certificate. She
came to Pennington the spring of 1905
to guide all grades through the fields of
learning, and has taught in this locality
ever since-excepting one semester
spent at the state normal-during
which she became endeared to pupils
and patrons. She will be greatly missed
as one of Day county's teachers, but
the loss is repaired as a gain elsewhere.
