So at last we were forced to inform

near relatives present to witness the
ceremony Of the high contracting
parties.
AS an evidence Of the fact that the
new bride is and has been in the past
held in the highest esteem by large
circle Of friends both white and col
ored, all Of her white ne ghbors not
only attended the wedding but like
her other true friends assisted to pre-
sent her and her husband with many
very beautiful and useful presents.
The very choicest Of refreshments
were served in the most lavish manner,
the lovely bride stood at the head of
the table and personally served each
one Of the many guests present with
a large slice Of the brides elegant
wedding cake.
Some eight years ago the mother
Of the bride passed away from this
earth at the time that she was attend
ing the Englewood high school and
she started right in to keep house for
her father, Mr.. Bass. and her three
brothers, at the same time keeping IT'D
with her hard studies at school and
in time she graduated from the EngIe-
wood high school with high honors.
The very fact that she was willing
to work hard early and late in order
to keep the home fires burning simply
proves that she is a splendid young
woman and that she had been well
trained by her devoted mother.

rection of Mrs. Carey, and requested
her to approach his bench and after
she had complied TO his request, in
the most fatherly manner he asked her
if she desired to say anything to the
court other than what had been SO
ably stated by Mr.. Williams and Mrs.
Carey responded that she would like
to make short statement to the court
and she went on to state that her
former husband Mr.. Madison Davis
Carey owed her three hundred and
sixty-nine dollars for back alimony,
that she sadly needed the money for
the purpose Of supporting their four
children, that the past winter she was
compelled to part with their three
oldest children for awhile being unable
TO carry the burden all alone, that she
did not want the money for herself
as she was able to earn her own liv-
ing in the most honorable way.
She had their four children in court
with her. They were all dressed neat
and were spotlessly clean and were
well hammered. Their names follow:

little Miss Faithe Carey, Miss Eliza

just as sweet and as lovely as She can
be and we would gladly give one

like her to brighten our life and to
bring lots of sunshine into our hum

Mrs. Carey conducted herself in the
court room like a perfect lady and she
made favorable impression on the
mind of Judge Sullivan and when she
had finished her statement Judge Sui

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7:-Presi-
dent Coolidge authorized the state
ment. today that the Official cere-
monies attending the funeral of
President Harding will end when
the body has been placed on the
funeral train for the journey to
Marion.
"The participation by the Presi-
dent and the representative groups
of the legislative and judicial de-
partments of the government in
Marion" the statement said, will
be entirely on the basis of that of
guests of the town of Marion. They
will not participate officially In any
way in the funeral there"
The representatives of the Army
and the Navy at Marion will be the
same officers who will form the
guard of honor for the body here,
but their participation in the SER
vices at Marion will be not as a
guard of honor but as guests.
This is in accord with the wishes
of Mrs. Harding.
