PROMINENT YOUNG COUPLE WE'D

The First Baptist church of this city
was the scene of a pretty wedding
Wednesday evening at seven o'clock
when Miss Cecil Welch, youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. WEIGH,
of this city, was given in marriage to
Mr.. Elmer II. Sexauer, of this city.
The wedding ceremony, performed by
the Rev. NJ. B. Milne, pastor of the
First Baptist church, was witnessed by
about 125 guests, relatives and friends
of the contracting parties.
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed in palms, smilax and pink and
white peonies. The altar was very ar
tistically banked with palms, inter,
spersed with peonies. The end of each
pew was decorated with pink and
white peonies. The whole interior of
the church presented an enhancing
scene
Preceding the ceremony Miss Ethel
Wakefield, of Minneapolis, sang BE
loved il is Morn" by Florence Ayiard.
To the beautiful strains Of Mendel,
ssohn's wedding march, ten young
ladies entered the church followed
closely by Misses Winifred Catlett and
Alice Maxwell, the brides maids;
Mrs, Arthur Baldwin, sister of the
bride, matron of honor; followed next
by the bride. They were met at the
altar by the best man, Mr.. Percy
Huntimer, of Melrose, MINI, the min
lister and the groom. The parties met
and took their places in front of the
altar. Mr.. Welch, father of the bride,
stepped from a near pew and gave the
bride away. The ring ceremony was
used. Following the ceremony Miss
Wakefield sang Barnby's 20, Perfect
Love"
A reception was held at the WEIGH
home from $50 to 1890 O'Clock. The
interior was very ta~stefully decorated
With palms, smilax and roses.
The bride was gowned in a beautiful
creation of white duchess satin en-
train trimmed in Venetian lace and
overdraped with maline. She wore a
long white tulle vail draped in bonnet
fashion and she carried a bridal bou.
quet of pink brides roses and lilies of

OPENING DAY SOON

WOrkmen have been busy for several
days installing the new fixtures for the
Brookings Candy company, who are
opening up a candy kitchen and ice
cream parlor in the building adjoining
the Grand Opera House. When this
place opens probably this week it will
be n of the finest places of its
kind in the state. The fixtures and
equipment are valued at something
over sS,0O0.00 and are very beautiful to
say the least. In opening this place
Mr.. Bower has not spared either
money or time in giving B%rookings a
first class establishment. He comes
to Brookings well recommended from
Webster, where he owns a similar
store, and is an expert candy maker.
Announcement of the opening Will,
doubtless, be made this week.

DRAINAGE

The creek northwest of the city has
again overf1owed and the farmers are
holding their breath for fear of an.
other flood. 1t cen that every time
there is a heavy rain north of us or a
cloud burst, as has occurred recently,
the creek and Sioux river go on a ram,
page and overflow the surrounding
country. Some kind of ditching ought
to be done to prevent Sc much dam.
age. 1t seems as if the river gets more
crooked every year and bitches across
the bends would help carry OFF this
surplus water and afford considerable
relief to farmers who are being dam,
aged to the extent of thousands of DOL,
lars every year. Why don't the farm.
ers along the river get together and
do something on their own hook?
