tulle. In the dining-room the chande
lier was almost obscured by white and
lavender tulle and great fluffy bowl
were suspended covered with white
sweet peas. The center Of the dining
table was a massive bank oil white
sweet peas.
In the reception hall MesdAmes Al.
len Harris and AMI Smith presided
at the punch bowl. In the receiving
line, beside the bridal party, were Mr..
and Mrs. G. II. Friberg, of Helena,
Ark; Mrs. Louise Taylor, of Lafayette,
Ind, and DR.. and Mrs. w. ]. Miller.
Delicious refreshments were served,
including salad course, ice in the
form of white wedding bells and
squares of angel food cake with laven-
der icing, white and lavender minis.
The cutting of the brides cake was
attended with the usual interest and
Miss Mary GilderSleeve got the dime,
Mrs. Charles Biddle the button and Wat
Miller the ring.
When the bride started up the stairs
to change costume she threw her boquet
into the crowd and it was secured by
Miss Kathleen Gaunt.
AS the guests left the dining room
Misses Alice and Eva Carr gave each a
little white box fitted with wedding cake
and tied with white ribbon bearing the
monogram F. NJ. in gold.
To describe the presents would be too
great task, anything like them for
beauty and quantity has seldom been
seen here. The fathers gift to the
bride was a chest of sterling silver con-
tanning sixteen dozen pieces. G. H.
Friberg and wife gave dozen sterling
bread and butter plates. Mesdames
Rice and Taylor gave lovely oriental
ring. DR.. w. ]. Miller presented a
handsome check and Wat. Miller gave
two $50 gold pieces with instructions to
buy anything that had been overlooked.

of Kings blue broadcloth with hat and
gloves to match and she wore black
satin boots.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller left on No. p
last night for southern trip, but would
not tell where they were going. They

wishes by many friends as they de.
parted.
The bride is the only Daughter Of
G. D. Friberg and is one Of the most
young ladies in Johnson City,
her rare beauty and charming manner
have won for her many friends. The
groom is the eldest son Of DR.. w. J.
Miller and is one of the city's most
popular business men.

is APPOINTED
Contributions ASKED FOR
Committee of Gentlemen are Ap-
pointed From Various Counties
of the First District

TO the people of the First Con-
gressioual District, irrespective
of party:
The question has been in my
mind for some time what the
people would do in the way of
erecting a monument to the late
Congressman Walter P. Brown
low, whose remains now rest in
the center of the cemetery circle
at the National Soldiers Home,
Tennessee.
Col. Brownlow gave the best of
his life to the First congressional
district of Tennessee, and while
he sleeps the long sleep, the work
which he did for the people of
his district will ever stand as a
living monument to his energies
and efforts to promote the inter
ests of the people whom he loved.
Would it not be the right thing
for the people Of his district, ire
spective OF party, to erect suita-
BILE monument to his memory? ]
suggest as a citizen, not a parti-
san nor a politician, bat as one
who very much admired Colonel
Brownlow as a tireless worker
for his people, that the following
committee be recognized at the
Unaka National Bank in Johnson
City, Tenn, where contributions
can be made in person or by mail
and that the same be received and
placed to the credit of the COM
mittee with the donors name or
without, and that there be no
limit to the minimum amount Civ
EN- by, any person, but that the
maximum single subscription be
$40. l therefore suggest as a
committee the following gentle
men, to be known as 1.-THE
Memorial COMMITTEE"
Hons. S. C. Williams, F. P.
Britton, S. II. L. Cooper, Wash
ington county; Judge Hal H.
Haynes, ex-Gov. John l. Cox, Sui
livan county; Hon. E. C. Alexan-
der, Judge w. P. DUNCAN, Garter

George McHenderson, Granger
Hon. Z. D. Massey, NC,
Sewer county; Hon. w. o. Minis,
Gov. B. w. Hooper, Cooke coun-
~; Hon. Daniel C. Schwab, Clai-
borne county.
further suggest that this COM
nittee accept Immediately and
themselves.
/ am sure it will be source of
PERSONAL pride to the people of
his district to do honor to his
memory, and especially do l ap-
zeal to the citizens of Washing
on county.
For the convenience of any one
contributions in the diff
erent counties who do not desire
o send same direct to the bank,
can be paid to the committee
nen in their respective counties.
