A pretty church wedding' occur- ; was simple and impressive. After
red last evening in the auditorium
of the M. E. church, after prayer
meeting, when the pastor, Rev. W.
L. Austin, joined in holy matri
mony Mr. Robert W. Gibson and
Miss Lettie A. Smith, both popular
Plattsmouth young people.
The wedding was a quiet one
and few, except the intimate
friends of the happy pair, knew
of the event. At the close of the
usual Wednesday evening service
Rev. Austin announced that there
would be a short service in the
auditorium of the church im
mediately, and those who cared to
do so could remain and those who
did not could retire from the
room. Mr. E. H. Wescott was re
quested to go to the organ, al
though he was not told what
would be expected, but nothing
loth, he seated himself as request
ed and began to play some
familiar chords, as the congrega
tion dropped in and was seated.
After a few minutes Mr. Wescott
saw the partition fly upward and
beheld the contracting parties at
the far end of the aisle in the act
of advancing to the altar. It then
dawned on the organist that a
wedding was about to transpire,
and he at once changed his music
to the wedding march. The cere
mony performed by Rev. Austin
receiving the congratulations of
the numerous members of the
congregation, Mr. and Mrs. Gib
son departed on No. 14 for Pacific
Junction, where they took the
Burlington for the south.
Mr. and Mrs. Gibson are well
known to a large circle of friends
and acquaintances in this city, the
bride, Miss Lettie Smith, being the
accomplished daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Dan B. Smith. Mr. Smith
was for years foreman of the
Burlington paint shop in the local
plant, and Miss Smith was born
and reared in "Plattsmouth, and
since graduating at the Platts
mouth High school has been an
efficient member of the teaching
force of the city schools.
The groom, Mr. Robert W. Gib
son, has been a resident of Platts
mouth for some years, and is a
trusted locomotive engineer of
the Burlington and stands very
high with his employers, as well
as with members of the craft.
On their return from their
wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Gibson
will reside on West Main street,
where he has a nice home already
furnished for their reception.
The Journal joins with the very
many friends of the happy couple
in wishing them a long and

SOME RATE PROBLEMS
The method of "trial and error" in computing tele
phone rates has thrown innumerable telephone com
panies into the bankruptcy court. Untold fortunes have
been lost by incapable or unscrupulous promotors who
have lowered rates below the danger mark.
For more than a quarter of a century, rate experts
in the employ of this company have closely studied the
problem that enter into rate making for both local and
long distance telephone service.
You as a telephone user have a right to know why
you pay the rate you do for service.
This company, appreciating your patronage, will, in
following articles in this paper, explain the means by
which telephone rates have been brought to a basis of
absolute fairness for both the telephone user and the
stockholder.
