A QUIET WEDDING- A quiet wedding took place May 19th at the home of
Mrs. Louis Mieras which was a surprise to even the closest friends of the
bride and groom when Miss Ada Mieras was united in marriage by the W.H.

p.m. at the home of the bride.

Sunday the young people attended church services and on Monday left
for points in Minnesota. Mr. Ard is the telegraph operator at Laurens Ia.

young couple prosperity and happiness.
