A PRETTY HOME WEDDING
Miss Ruth Tenney becomes the
Bride of David Lamoreaux

A pretty wedding took place at
the home of Mrs. o. z. Skousen,
Tuesday evening, when her sister,
Miss Ruth Tenny, was married to
David Lamoreaux. Seventy-tive
guests, almost entirely relatives of
the bride and groom, were assembled
at 7:30.when the wedding march was
playedby Nora Lamoreaux. and the
bridal procession entered. The
groom. with Mrs. Tenny on his arm,
headed the procession, and was fol-
lowed by the father with the bride.
j. F. Nash performed the ceremony
in an impressive manner and con-
gratulations were given. A spicy
and interesting program followed,
consisting of brief remarks, singing,
music and recting.
The Tenny family sang a number
of choice selections.
At the close of the program ice
cream and cake were served, and a
pretty feature of this was, the grand
mother of the bride, Mrs. Brown,
served the bridal pair.
The bride received many beautiful
and costly gifts. The little daugh-
ters of A. C. Peterson presented the
bride with several choice boquets of
of flowers, which were appreciated.
Mrs. Skousen proved herself to be a
most charming and untiring hostess.
The ! ride is one of Thatcher's S
most popular and deserving young
ladies. Her care, while quite young,
of her invalid mother made her wise
and womanly beyond her years. For
the past two years she has been one
of the foremost students in the
Academy.
The groom is substantial and in
duStriOus young man, and as both
have honorable. progressive parents,
we predict bright future for the
young couple.

BIG RECEPTION
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Mexico and appropriations for the
investigation of conditions in Mexico,
as we'll as the appropriations to pay
for the damages in the famous No
gales Strip case.
Mr.. Smith introduced bills for the
relief Of the people on the Nogales
Strip, and passed them through the
Senate, but they were lost in the
House.
Not the least of his efforts was
the appropriation secured by him
for the relief of the Mormon people
who came to this valley from Mexi-
co, in the sum of $20,000.00, and,
as one grateful voice cried from the
audience: 1t got here, too"
He concluded this portion of his
speech with. God being my witness,
if Mexico does not pay the damages
to these people, it will be because
no human being in the Senate can
get it done. They will have to pay
it."
He denied that he had ever re-
ceived the $3,17600 alleged by po-
litical enemies to have been appro-
priated by him for mileage. If it
was appropriated" he said, some
BODY else got a couple of thousand
of it. | never saw it at ALL"
Mr.. Smith also took up the matter
of the so-called Senatorial BuIle-
tin," issued by the Reese Ling for
Senator Club" and its attacks upon
his personal character, reading ex-
tracts from it and answering each
of their allegations. in a masterful,
convincing way. Here as in other
places, his inactivity had been made
point against him. This he an
swered with further cataloging of
his accomplishments in the Senate
for the benefit of the State of Ari-
z0na.
