at 12 o'clock P.M., Wednesday, October 29, Mr. Ralph Allison of

E. church (First Methodist Episcopal) officiating.
They were attended by Miss Kate Chapman of this city and Mr. Frank
Stewart of Murphysboro. Little Miss Daisy Angell, dressed in white,
ushered the wedding party, first untying the white ribbons on the folding
doors, the party marching into the strains of sweet music, played
by Mrs. F. L. Thomson.
The bride was tastefully attired in blue silk with white trimmings
and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. The groom in the usual
conventional black. The house decorations were in white and green.
The impressive ceremony was witnessed by about forty guests, who,
after congratulations, were served to dainty refreshments. Many elegant
and useful gifts bespoke the love and esteem of numerous friends.
After a brief visit to Chicago and St. Louis, the young people will
leave for their southern home.
