TWO AND TWO ARE TWO.

Rev. Geo. H. Duty has a Rush of
Business Thursday Evening
Dark and Dreary.

ROBERTSTON - CALDWELL.

Last Thursday evening was dark and damp, in striking contrast to the interior of Mrs. Rapalyea's home which was prettily decorated in honor of an approaching event. At nine o'clock, Miss Kate Caldwell, clad in a becoming gray tailor made suit, and Mr. Dallas Robertson, took their places in a bower of flowers, and in the presence of the relatives of the contracting parties, Rev. Geo. H. Duty performed a short, impressive ceremony that united the young people, and made them Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Robertson. After congratulations light refreshments were served.

Mrs. Robertson, formerly Kate Caldwell, has conducted a dress making establishment with her sister for the past two years, and during that time her pleasing manner has made for her many sincere friends in Bonaparte. Her former home was in New London, Iowa.

Dallas Robertson, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Robertson, is a boy of Bonaparte, and is so well known that further description would be useless. He is well liked, especially among the young people, and many are the congratulations that he has secured so worthy a bride. Those present at the wedding were Mrs. Rapalyea, Miss Harriet Caldwell, Nellie and Roy Rapalyea, and Mr. and Mrs. Robertson.
