Valley City Couple Are
Joined in Matrinlony

Miss Emma Carlson, one of the most
popular and well known ladies of Val.
ley City, and John A. Johnson, of Har.
lowton, Mont, were united in marriage
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
wedding was quiet but beautiful at
fair. Only some of the immediate
relatives were present. Rev. E. A.
Martell officiated. Miss Selma Carlson
was maid of honor and Edwin Carlson
was best man. The bride was dressed
in beautiful and neat white. She was
given in marriage by her mother, Mrs.
J. E. Carlson. The couple received
many valuable gifts from relatives and
friends and from organizations where
the bride has been actively interested.
After the ceremony was performed a
delicious and bountiful dinner was
served.
Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Johnson had
planned on leaving for their new home
on the highline the same evening, and
both baving been teachers they were
true to the principles of their profess
sion. Everything was punctually and
Systematically carried out according
to pre-arranged program. So they
were not rushed at all. A great num-
Der of friends met them at the depot
to bid them farewell. Just as the
newly-weds boarded the train they
were the objects of very beautiful
flower shower The friends of the de-
parting couple set a good example for
others to follow in departing from the
old custom of employing rice at such
occasions.
Mrs. Johnson will be greatly missed
here in Valley City. She was a very
active member Of the Swedish Luth-
eran church. She was superintendent
of the Sunday school, an officer in the
Ladies' Aid, member and officer of
the Luther League. She also served
on important committees and took
great interest in the new church that
is being built. She has been a teacher
Of the schools of this city for num-
Der of years and had therefore made
many friends. Believing that it is
better to give a person credit for vir-
tues while still living, rather than to
wait until later when they will neither
cheer nor encourage the person in
question, it can be said about Mrs.
Johnson that she was one of the most
noble young ladies of the city. She
had a kind and cheerful dispotition
and was very much loved and thought
of by young and old. She always
brought sunshine and good cheer with
her wherever she went. Her memory
will long be cherished in this city.
Mr.. Johnson has also had his home
here near Valley City. He has been
engaged in the teaching profession in
Harlowton for two years. He is now
entering upon his third years work at
the same place. He is very much
thought Of as teacher and his work
is greatly appreciated. While he may
not be so we'll known, personally, to
some of us, he must have the qualities
in him that go to makea good husband
or he would not have been the husband
of the wife he now has. He is an ac-
tive member of the church of his
home town and takes much interest in
work that. tends to elevate mankind.
We can therefore predict that their
married life will be an ideal and most
happy one. This is the sincere wish
of all their friends here at home.
Their many friends will be pleased to
see them back to this city as often as
possible.
