MR. WM. S. HORNING and MISS PEARL BETTS were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents, MR. and MRS. M.C. BETTS in Morgan Township, Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, the ceremony being performed by Rev. W.H. Hamilton.

The groom is an educated and substantial young farmer residing in Hamilton Township, reliable and industrious.

The bride is also well known by most of the people of Decatur County. She is a beautiful and well educated young lady and since she moved to this county a few years ago, has endeared herself to a large circle of friends by her many good graces.

MR. and MRS. HORNING departed Tuesday afternoon for Des Moines, where they will visit a few days with relatives, and then leave on an extended honeymoon, during which they will travel in the western states and visit Alaska. They expect to return to Decatur County this fall and will then make their home on the groom's farm.

A host of warm friends extend heartiest congratulations to this worthy young couple and wish them a pleasant journey through life.
