A marriage of unusual Importance
on account Of the prominence of the
contracting parties, was that of Miss
Marie Stevenson, of this city, to Mr..
L. D. Marlowe, of st. Louis, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Fitz, Sat-
urday, July A, 1914.
The wedding was a surprise to even
the most intimate friends, as the bride
had denied all knowledge of it, at
so early a day.
Elder E. 7. Reid, of this city, per-
formed the ceremony in accordance
with the beautiful ritualistic work of
the Methodist faith.
Miss Stevenson is the only daugh-
ter of Mr.. @. l.. Stevenson, senior
member of the firm of Stevenson-Fitz
Store Co., and possesses womanly
characteristics of beauty and refine
ment that have made her one of the
most popular young women in South
east Missouri.
Mr.. Marlowe is the purchasing
agent for the timber firm of B. john
son & Son, st. Louis, and of late has
made his headquarters at Poplar
Bluff, though his home is in st. Louis,
and he is a young mar of splendid
attachments. They left Saturday at
800 P. NJ, via Frisco for Memphis and
other southern points before they go
to st. Louis, where they will reside.
They have the best wishes of their
many friends for a life of happiness
and prosperity.

The Burke and Hobbs union revival
meeting for all of the churches of the
lead belt, which has been in progress
the past six weeks, is being brought
to a close this week. On account of
the great interest shown in the SER
vices, the closing was postponed from
last Sunday night until Wednesday
night and then again until next
Sunday night. The last announce
ment is positive and the meeting will
close with the evening services on
that day.
The final week has been the best
Of the big meeting. There have been
over 300 conversions and the total is
now over $50 and may reach 1000 be-
fore the last service. Burke and Hobbs
have never Weekend or hesitated in
the appeals to the unsaved, and the
results of their six weeks stay have
exceeded even the expectations Of
the most optimistic. The meeting is
closing this week only because of
other engagements the evangelists
and not because of the least lack OF
interest. The big tent is crowded
every night and many are at the altar
at the close of every service. At last
nights service seventy-two were
converted, which is evidence that the
evangelists could get results for weeks
longer. During the past week prayer
services have been held in the offices
stores, barber shops and livery
stables of the town by the gospe,

a great work has been accomplished
at these services. There was an all
