SUNRISE PORCH WEDDING
DAVIS-MOORES
On Tueslay, juiy 2, 1918, just as the
sun was peeping through a thin veil
of misty clouds, there occurred the
uniting of two hearts. On the porch
nf the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. D-
Dole the bridal c >uple stood surrounded
by a few of their most intimate friends
and relatives, while the marriage vows
were impressively spoken by the Rev.
Wm. H Zoukwhiih united Mr. Rich-
ard M. Davis and Mrs Judena Moores
in the holy bonds of wedlock. "Two
souls with but a single though , two
hearts that beat as one." This occa-
sion was probably the most unique and
altogether the most beautiful that has
ever taken place in this vicinity. The
beautiful ring ceremon,' w is used, lit-
tle Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Alex Stone bearing the tray and
acting as ring bearer.
The bride w.,s her usual sweet self
in a beautiful white organdy. She
numbers her friends by her acquaint-
ances and has a host who love her for
her sunny disposition' She was one of
the early settlers in this part of Okla-
homa.
Mr. Davis has resided near Calumet
f >r the past 17 years and is highly re-
spected in this community and will be
greatly missed by his friends, neigh-
bors, and lodge brothers. We are
sorry to learn they in'end making
Wichita, Kan vis ih-'ir future horn-'.
A wedding ureal; fist, consistant
with the war time ideas, was served,

FIRE
George Thompson and Albert John-
son, while playing with matches in
the loft of Clit' Thompson's barn, Fri-
day afternoon, set tho barn on fire.
When it was discovered the whole
barn was in flames. The people of the
town were notified and soon were on
had with their buckets and tire ex-
tinguishers to do ail they could to
prevent it from spreading. The high
wind made it rather dangerous for
the buildings nearby. The one in most
j danger was a garage belonging to L.
i T. Samuelson. Herbert Heller went
'on the top of it and stayed as long
as the smoke and beat would permit,
knocking off burning pieces that were
blown there. The greatest loss to [
1 Mr. Thompson was a new wagon
