MISUNDERSTANDING WEDDING
AT BUENA VISTA

One of the prettiest weddings of the
season took place at the home of Mrs.
Noah Butt in Buena Vista, Wednesday,
when her youngest daughter, Miss An
ME Virginia Butt, and Mr. Leroy
Hirschberg, Jr., were united in mar
riage.
The parlor in which the ceremony
was performed was bower of beauty
and fragrance from the many-hued
flowers that were used in profusion by
skillful hands in artistic decoration.
Many relatives and friends of the
bride and groom were present, and at
Z o'clock, Mrs. w. A. Drane in a sweet
voice sang "The Rosary" accompanied
on the piano by Miss Irene Boone, of
Americas. To the strains of Mendels-
sohn's wedding march, the happy cou-
pie entered the parlor and stood I'M
der hanging basket of wonderful
beauty, where, surrounded by those
present, Rev. Leroy Hirschburg, faith
er of the groom, solemnized the mar
riage and pronounced them man and
wife.
Just at the close of the ceremony,
Judge John c Butt, brother of the
bride, released a bow of ribbon from
the hanging basket, showering the
young couple with rice.
After congratulations, the bridal
party and relatives went to the home
of the groom's parents, where a deli
cious two-course luncheon was served.
The bride is one of Buena Vista's
most beautiful and beloved young la
dies, and numbers her friends by her
acquaintance. The groom is a young

PICTURES FOR SCHOOL.

One of the many problems of the
Grammar school faculty is that of sup
plying the new building with suitable
pictures. While some of the pictures
in the possession of the different
grades are worthy of a place on the
walls, more are not. With a view to
supplying this need some of the wo-
men of the town have presented pic
lures to the school, notably Mrs. H. E.
Allen, whose selection was a sepia
copy of Haufman's Christ Talking To
The Doctors" Others have signif1ed
their intention of following the ex-
ample of Mrs. Allen.

to look around the home premises and
see how they could be fixed up to look
better it would be a great thing for
this town. 1t might not induce people
to do any more than rake up the sticks
that are lying around. That would be
a great help alone. But maybe while
raking up the loose leaves you would
find there, a broken picket in the
fence, that the corner of the porch has
sagged or that the front steps need
a new plank in them. And, as you
would want to make complete job of
