a score of 44 birds out of a possible
50. In the special pistol match

A Pretty Wedding
A very pretty wedding ceremony
was performed at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Sheckler, of Sand Creek
last Sunday, when their daughter,
Miss Virgiline, was married to Mr.
Edward Louis Richard.
The parlor was beautifully decorated
la pink and white, while in the din-
ing room the Chrisemas colors, gieen
and red, prevailed.
The bride was tastefully dressed In
white, while the groom wore plain
black.
The wedding march from Mendel-
sohn was played by Miss Nettle Bart-
lett. A beautiful and somewhat un-
usual feature was the singing of a
solo, ”0, Promise Me,” by the bride's
mother.
Many useful sresenta were received
by the young people, coming from re-
latives and friends in other states.
The Journal joines 1 > extending

ington holds the claim where the
big cottonwood tree stood a short
distance below the Sand creek
crossing, directly south of Man-

Joe Smith suggests that as soon
as Manchester is incorporated
under city government therd should
be an ordinance passed making it a
misdemeanor for any person to
sing or whistle ‘‘After the Ball.”
(That is a poor time to go ‘round
singing and whistling, rousing
people from their slumbers.
Christmas afternoon brought the
first snow of the season.
Mrs. W. M. McGibbon has been
