| On Wednesday, June 18th, at p.
M, occurred the marriage of Miss
Winifred Moorhead to Mr.. William
Edwin Nelson at Holton, Kans. The
ceremony being performed at the
First NJ. E. church in the presence
of relatives and friends. While we
are not personally acquainted with
the bride we are informed that she
is young lady of many graces of
mind and person and that she is ac-
complished and cultured. Mr.. Mel
son is the eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. A. Nelson of This city and is well
known by most of our readers. For
the past two years he has been princi-
pal of the High School at Robinson
Kans.. and has made host of warm
| friends at that place. He is a gradu-
ate of Baker University and is also a
talented musician. No young man
has ever left Wax eeney, who has
carried away with him more respect
and esteem than has Mr.. Nelson.
His life and character have been so
clean and exemplary, his morals SO
above reproach that all who came
within the sphere of his influence
we're impressed by the character of
the young man. We have not yet
learned where they expect to make
their future home but a host of
friends join the World in extending
congratulations and wishing Mr. Mel
son and his bride large share of the
happiness and blessings of life.
On Wednesday afternoon Grandma
Wallace died at her home in the city
after short illness caused by
stroke of paralysis. Grandpa and
Grandma Wallace moved here about
three years ago from near Banner and
during their residence among the
people of this community have won
the respect and esteem of all. Grand
mas life seemed blessing and
benediction to all within the sphere
of its influence and when such a one
goes the loss seems almost an irrepar-
able one especially TO those within
the home circle. She was a true
Christian and died in that faith that
has been a solace to thousands, who
| have passed through the portals of
death. Her life was quiet and simple
and she performed her duties to
| those whom she loved and were in
any way dependent on her with an
untiring devotion. The funeral SER
vices were held at the Methodist
church on Thursday afternoon and
were cond ucted by her pastor, Rev.
@. NJ. Reed. She leaves husband
and an adopted son to mourn her
loss. The World and many friends
extend sympathy to those thus sadly
! bereaved.
Last Tuesday afternoon Mrs. E. A.
Courtney entertained a large number
of ladies in honor of Mrs. Nv. S.
Hard ten and Mrs. w. E. Scott, who

most pleasant afternoon doing fancy
work and enjoying social intercourse.

red roses being profusely used. Mrs
Albert Sellers assisted the hostess in

ham, Vera Hardtner, and Hazel De-
