will be an open air wedding. which will
take place at the Fair Grounds. This
/ is being put ON for the benefit of all

lin Vernon County have been received
before this is written, and it is hoped
that the Legionaires will turn out for
the day, and be here in time to take
part in the big parade, The VIM. A,
jacobson Post wishes to announce at
this time, that the only ticket an ex-
service man will need, is his uniform
