LCTTON-WILLIAMS

A quiet wedding was celebrated
Thursday, July 18th. when Miss
Cecil Williams became the bride of
Mr.. f. F. Luton. Both the con-
tracing parties were employees OF
the Mountain States Telephone Com
pany. Mr.. Lutton's headquarters
are in Salt Lake City for which place
they took No. Is Thursday night.
The marriage took place in Weiser
and the ceremony was performed,
by Rev. Adair of the PRESBYTERIAN
church. Mr.. and Mrs. David I. Peter
son accompanied them TO weiser and
assisted in the affair. They then re-
turned to Payette where Mrs. lone
Whalen and Pauline Peterson served
a wedding dinner in their honor. The
bride is well and favorably known
here, having lived here all her life.
She graduated from Payette High
School this spring. To say Cecil
Williams was a good girl is to state
a fact in mighty plain terms. If
she were soldier she would be
wearing honor crosses. She is de-
serving of good husband and we
think she has one.
Mr.. Luton has the appearance of
real man. He is somewhat known
here. having done some work here
for his company. He is proficient in
his business, clean in his habits and
sensible in conversation. 1t is an ad-
mirable couple. May they live long
and be happy and prosperous.

A WEEK OF
PLEASURE

The 1928 Chautauqua has come anC
gone, it has been a week of rea
pleasure. While all the numbers or
the program may not have pleased
all the people, it has been a very
satisfactory week, the first number
on the program Turn TO the Right
was put on by a cast of professional
players, and was considered worth
the price of the season ticket. James
Hamilton's Orchestra Quartette was
another number highly commended
by the audience. James Heron in
his lecture on Building Better Bust
ness, by Building Better Mem, made
quite hit, as well as his talk Tues
day noon at the Kiwanis Luncheon.
Tom Skeyhill in his lecture Satur-
day evening revealed many historic
facts, and while not humorous as is
the usual case in chautauqua lee
lures, he gave the people something
more serious and OF more concern
TO think about
DR.. Ng. Poon Chew who enter
tanned the crowd on the second night
was well named ''The Chinese Mark
Twain. his talk on the history and
progress of China was all interesting
and revealed many unknown facts
regarding his native land.
The last number Taviu's Exposi-
tion Band was the crowning number
on the program.
All of the numbers on the pro-
gram were worth more or less COM
ment. and as a whole, the weeks pro-
gram was very very satisfactory. The
free program given by the home
talent of Payette County on Sunday
evening drew the bumper crowd. the
largest that ever visited the Chau-
tauqua grounds in Payette, and was
perhaps as entertaining as any num-
Der during the week, New Plymouth
and Fruitland came forward with
good part. demonstrating their musi-l !
cal Abflfty III that part part OF fhc
county.
The Junior Chautauqua program
by the children is certainly worthy !
of mention. it was simply fine.
In mentioning the happenings of
Chautauqua week we must mention !
the floral decorations which were
cared TO- by Ida and
Marion Tharp and Maudie Thomp-I
son. three of the scout girls who
kept the platform constantly decor
ated with fresh flower -hich was
no small task. Mrs. A A Stettler
also contributed largely to the decor
alton from her beautiful flower
garden near Fruitland.
Mr.. Wilson, the superintendent. i
and the other helpers who have spent
2 week in Payette have made quite
a few warm friends They have
been very pleasant congenial people
while among us. and should Pay
cite have chautauqua next year we
would be pleased to know that these
same people would be in charge.
