LOVES OLD HOME

W.F. Laraway of Hood River, Ore., enclosing a draft to push his subscription a notch ahead, writes that we look forward each week for the news from our old home. True, we live in Oregon, but we look back with pride that we are from Iowa. Today, 300 Hawkeyes as they walk our streets, are wearing badges bearing the name ‘Iowa.’ We are to honor Iowa’s governor on Monday. He will arrive by auto over the Columbia Highway. We will be pleased to meet any of our friends who may be at Los Angeles during the conclave, at the Oregon headquarters.

CEREMONY HERE ON TUESDAY EVENING

Marriage Calls Forth Felicitations of Many Mills County Friends of Young Couple. Will Reside on Farm in Center.

A marriage which calls forth the most cordial congratulations of numberous friends in Glenwood and Mills County, took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Timmons, of this city, on Tuesday evening, May 16, 1916, when their daughter, Jessie Caroline, became the bride of Mr. Ernest Seeger, son of Mr. and Mrs. H.W. Seeger, prominent residents of Center Township. The ceremony, which consisted of the beautiful and impressive ring service, was solemnized at seven o’clock, in the presence of a company of forty friends and relatives. Neither the bride nor groom were attended, and the part of the ring bearer was also omitted, the ceremony this possessing a simplicity which always adds to the charm of a home wedding. The home was delightfully decorated, a green and white color scheme being chosen. This plan was also carried out in the decoration of an arch under which the young people stood, beneath a large bell. The bride’s bouquet was of white roses and lilies of the valley, and she wore a charming gown of flesh-colored silk, beneath apple green georgette crepe. The dress was trimmed in gold lace. A cluster of lilies of the valley was caught in her hair, beneath her veil. The service was read by the Rev. Wm. Stevenson, pastor of the Glenwood Methodist Episcopal church, who was assisted by the Rev. H. Edgar Hall, pastor of the Christian Church, also of this city. The wedding march was pleasingly played by Miss Winifred Furrow, and Miss Mae Timmons, sister of the bride, sang “I Love You Truly.” by Carrie Jacobs Dond. She was in excellent voice, and the song, which is becoming so often the choice for such occasions, added much to the beauty of the service.

HONORS TWO MEMBERS

An innovation was introduced on last Sunday into the regular services at the Christian Church in Glenwood. Several members of that church recognizing the valuable work of two of its members, decided, on the quiet, to recognize those services in some way. They chose to make it a surprise, as they would object to any show of a public appreciation. These men, J.J. Ewing and A. Mayberry, have given of their service to the upbuilding of their church because of a love, and a duty to the cause, and they did it all these years without hope of reward or recognition. Messrs, Ewing, and Mayberry, after a neat presentation speech by the pastor, were called to the pulpit and each there given a token of appreciation in the shape of a beautiful loving cup with his name engraved thereon. The affair was as much a surprise to many present as to the recipients. The event will be pleasantly remembered for a long time.
