OTTO-HANSON.

Miss Helga Hanson, daughter of Mr.

parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Otto,

gan attended the groom. The cere-
mony was performed in the parlor of
the Otto home, the bridal party stand
lug beneath a beautiful arch of yellow
roses. The entire decorative scheme

Landlord Cutlery Celebrates Birthday

About seventy invited guests as
sembled at The Carlton hotel Wednes-
day evening to participate in celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the 18th birthday
OF Landlord Cutlery. At 9 o'clock the
guests were seated at the tables in the
appropriately decorated dining room
and partook of clam supper prepared
IN way that all ate with relish. After
G. Whittet, POSTMASTER of the even
ing, in a few we'll worded remarks,
presented the host with a handsome
and substantial present. Mr.. Cutlery
expressed his appreciation of the COM
pany of friends present and kindly
thanked them for the gift in remem-
brance of the occasion. In response to
the call of the POSTMASTER appropriate
speeches were made by Victor P. Rich
ardson, Thomas Welsh and VIM. Buch-
anan, of GAINESVILLE, Andrew Jensen of
this city, Mayor John Holtan of Slough
ton and F. j. Goldman of Madison. 1t
can safely be said that the gathering
was one of the most pleasant affairs
ever attended by the many friends of
the worthy host, who is prince as an
entertainer. Mr.. Cutlery has been
proprietor of The Carlton nearly two
years and in that short time Edgerton
has gained fame among travelling men
and those from far and near who pat
ronize public houses as having one of
the best kept hotels in all respects and
most genial landlords of any city in the
state. Any one of the seventy guests
present at the gathering Wednesday
evening will verify the statement. In
gaining this reputation for Edgerton,
Mr. Guttery's success is partially shar-
ed by Mrs. Cutlery, whose able atten-
ton and affable ways are appreciated
by all patrons. We hope you'll live to
be hundred years DID,, Mr.. Cutlery,
and that each birthday anniversary
may be celebrated in manner like your
55th.

SIMPSON-LAWTON.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. B.
Lawton of Albion was the scene of a
very pretty wedding Tuesday evening,
when their daughter Helen was united
in marriage to Lloyd Leonard Simpson.
The same gracious friend, Rev. Sim
con Babcock, who officiated as pastor
at the marriage of the brides parents
20 years ago, pronounced the solemn
words that made Helen and Lloyd hus-
band and wife. Rev. C. S. Sayre, pas
tor of the S. D. B. church, assisted in
the ceremonies. Rachel Coon, cousin
of the bride, was bridesmaid, and Gael
Simpson, brother of the groom, was
best man. Little Elizabeth Babcock,
another cousin, presented the ring.
The bridal party took their places under
a beautifully decorated arch, prepared
for them by young friends, to the
strains of Mendelssohn' wedding march
played by Anna Lawton, also cousin
of the bride. 1t was very pretty pic
ture-youth and hope = expressed in
serious, happy faces. The bride was
beautifully dressed in white and carried
white carnations; the bridesmaid in
delicate pink, carrying pink carnations;
and the little ring bearer added a
dainty touch of loneliness in white and
pink.
Following the ceremony dainty and
delicious three-course supper was serv-
ed the large company, and here again
the brides cousins contributed in a
charming manner to the pleasure of the
occasion by serving the guests. They
were the Misses Agnes and Hazel En-
erson, Jessie reft, Anna Lawton, and
the Messrs. Philip Coon, Clarence and
Harry Lawton and George Palmer.
In little room off the parlor was a
large collection of things, beautiful and
useful, one side containing the gifts
''showered" upon Helen by her rela-
tives and friends previous to the wed
ding, and the other holding the wedding
gifts so beautiful and numerous that
the new home will, in every nook and
corner, remind Helen and Lloyd OF
appreciative friends, many of whom,
on account of distance, were unable to
be with them.
After a few weeks spent with rela-
tives and friends in Jackson Center,
Ohio, and Battle Creek, Mich, Mr.. and
Mrs. Simpson will assume charge OF
her fathers farm and be at home to
their many friends.
