METHODIST LADIES EN- JOY PLEASANT AFTERNOON The ladies of the M. E. church held a delightful social meeting at the pleasant home of Mrs. J. M.

Last evening at 8 o'clock, in the irst Methodist church, occurred the marriage of Miss Elba Nell '.rabill to Mr. Wiley (ilen Brooks of Caldwell, Idaho. The sacred "eremony came just at the close of an almost, perfect summer day. The sun, lately sunken into a sea of golden splendor, had left the trees and hill-tons tinted with a ovely twilight glow. The half- orbed moon arose and cast a silver radiance which fell as a mantle of peace and benediction upon the scene. U the appointed hour the cere mony was introduced by the sing ing of Nevin's "Captive Memories" by twenty-six members of the Euterpean Glee club, assisted by Mrs. William Itaird. reader, and Mr. I). C. York, baritone soloist. These, with Mrs. E. II. Wescott. eader, and Mr. Wescott at the piano, having taken I heir places in the choir loft. "Captive Me mories is an exquisite song cycle, portraying in measures 'of delicate harmony and sweetest verse the emotions of courtship, entreaty, love and marriage. It was most artistically rendered and served as a very lit I inn' pre lude to the marriage ceremony. Immediately at, its close the strains of Lohengrin announced the entrance of the bridal parly, who advanced from the rear of the auditorium down Ihe center aisle, led by Messrs. R. A. and Dell Brooks, brothers of the groom. Following were four little girls, attendants of Ihe bride Clara Mae Morgan, who sang very sweetly the favorite lines "Faith ful and True;" LaVahn LenhotT and Lorine Northcut of Omaha and Muriel Streight. Little Helen Wescott came next, bearing the ring, and following her the bride, handsomely dressed in white voile trimmed in insertion. She carried a beautiful bouquet of white rose buds. She was joined at the altar by the groom, attended by Rev. Will Brooks, his brother. Rev. Arthur Brooks, pastor of the First Methodist church at Hastings, also a brother of the groom, pronounced the sacred ceremony which joined these two in the holy bonds of matrimony. His tones were clear and distinct and most impressively employed in this, the holiest olllce of his ministry. A simple ring service sealed the solemn vows uttered by. the contractility parties, and the Lord's Prayer, by all, con cluded the ceremony. The happy couple left the alter in step with Menhelsohn's wedding inarch.

(James were indulged in by the children, while the others visited and had a social time. Plenty of lunch was provided, with lemon ade ami cake, fried chicken, devil ed eggs, pickles, hot coffee, sand wiches and the like. One of the pleasant features of the occasion was the automobile ride given the picnickers both going and return ing. The picnic was held in Mr. Tom Wiles' pasture, an ideal place, with plenty of shade and blue grass, so that all could be comfortable. The school is. in debted to Clayt Ilosencrans, John Bauer, jr., and John Wehr bein for their kindness in taking the children to and from the grounds in their automobiles.

The groom is well known to many Plallsmoulh people, as he served two years, 1907-08, as principal of the High school. He is at present, superintendent, of schools in Caldwell, Idaho, where he returns for the third year having spent Ihe past six weeks in special work at Columbia uni versity.
