PRETTY CHURCH WEDDING AT
DUNDEE.

The marriage OF Rev. Walter K.
Hughes to Miss Vera M. Boil took
place at the Wesleyan Methodist
church in Dundee on Friday evening.
November 26, 1920. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. W. r. Emerson,
OF Charles City, President of the Iowa
Wesleyan Methodist Conference, in the
presence of the near relatives and a
few invited friends and neighbors.
The church was prettily decorated
with potted plants and cut flowers,
and the ushers, Ellis Aimers, Leroy
Pearce and Ray Hazelberg, seated the
guests as they arrived. At eight o'clock
Mrs. Rummel played a Bridal Chorus
by Wagner and the bridal party en-
tered, escorted to the pulpit by little
Miss Irma Pound, strewing flowers
as she went. The bride, dressed in a
pink crepe de CHEN gown and with
roses intertwined in the bridal veil,
carried a huge bouquet Of large white
chrysanthemums. while the groom was
attired in the customary color suitable
for such an occasion, making very
pretty scene, and as the words were
being spoken that united the happy
young couple, the guests could not help
wishing them long and happy we'd
ded life.
Immediately after the ceremony a
reception was held at the home of the
brides parents near the church, at
which time refreshments were served
and a few social minutes pleasantly
passed.
The groom, who formally lived at
Clifton, Kansas, has been stationed at
Dundee as pastor OF the Wesleyan
Methodist church for some time past
and has won many friends at that
place. His work as a minister OF the
gospel is bearing fruit and it is ex-
pected will even be crowned with
greater effort from now on with the
assistance he will have.
The bride who Is the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs H. F. Boil, of Dundee,
has grown to womanhood in this vi
cinity, attending the country school
at Mt. Hope, afterward taking the
High School course in Manchester
and later on completing course in
the State College at Cedar Falls. She
has taught in the College at Milton
vale, Kansas, where she gave excellent
satisfaction. Her pleasing manner and
natural charms will endear her to
all who work with her and we know
sHrswill be OF great assistance to the

ILLINOIS CENTRAL MAY BUILd
MAIN LINE INTO CEDAR
RAPIDS.

That Cedar Rapids may be on the
main line Of another railroad IN the
not too distant future was indicated
III a rumor current in business
circles today to the effect that the
Illinois Central is considering build
ing a direct line from Peoria, Ill, 70
Cedar Papids, joining here with the
branch running to Manchester. He-
ports received at the Chamber OF
Commerce were that the first sur
yey for the proposed line had already
been made and preparations for the
second underway.
The purpose Of the company, II is
said. in establishing such line is
to shorten the haul OF bananas,
fruit and vegetables from the soutn
to points on its western main line.
Under present conditions tnat
freight has to be routed through
Chicago or over some other COM
pany's line. The new line enter
ing Iowa at Davenport would also
be through territory capable OF
much greater freight development
The line through here connecting
with the main line westward az
Manchester would be considered a
part of the company's north and
south trunk line. The value OF such
an addition to Cedar Rapids rail-
road facilities is readily seen and
the Chamber of Commerce expects
to take the matter up Immediately
with the company's headquarters.
Sanford Kerr, general freigh'
agent for the Illinois Central here
said he had not heard of the pro.
ject, but he hoped the report would
prove true and the road built-Cedar
