The approach of the appointed hour
was heralded by the entrance of Mrs.
M. D. Johnson and Mrs. I. B. Fry,
Mrs. Johnson taking her piano to
play the accompaniment to Mrs. Fry.
Song-—“1 Promise you”—by Briggs.
Thd last notes of which were blended
witfi the first notes of the wedding
processional.
Miss Lorena Whitten, ‘dressed in
pink georgette, bearing a bouquet of
pink and white sweet peas, entered
first being met at the altar by Lee
Morrow. Miss Bessie Fry, sister if
the bride, wearing a rpos( becoming
cpstume of blue flat crepe and carry-
ing a bouquet of white flowers, was
ijext. being met by Bruce Eastman.

find her attendant came the dainty
little flower girls, Oma Miller Bish-
op and Laura Jean Taylor, dressed
jn pink and bide voile, scattering rose
petals in thje path.
Then the "bride, dressed in a go-
ing-away eostu'me of beige and blue
with matching- accessories entered
with her maid of honor, Miss Anna
Casey, who wore pink georgette. The HENDLER’S BIG JUNE
bride was met at the altar by the HARVEST SALE EXTENDED
groom, who entered with his best
man, Reed Yeager of Dallas. Rev.
H. M. Cowling united he happy
couple wih an impressive ring cere-
mony.
Miss Edith is strictly a Ladonia
product having been reared here and
obtaining her high school education
in the schools here. For several
years she has taught in the Ladonia
schools, endearing herself to pupil?
and parents alike.
Her chosen life partner is not so
well known here, although he has
many friends in and near Ladonia
where he spent several years of his
life. He is to be congratulated up-
on his choice of a bride and we hope
and feel assured that Miss Edith’s
choice will prove a wise one and that
they will live long happy lives fought
with unselfishness and good works.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Stevens left for Dallas,
Southern Methodist University at
Dallas. The artists have traveled
over the greater part of the state and
have rendered splendid programs
wherever they have been, with large
audiences.
This program is being rendered
under the suspices of the American
Legion, Powell Walker Post No. .109.
Members of this Post are expecting
a big attendance and urge all in La-
donia and vicinity to attend a* the
program will be fully enjoyed. Read
their ad elsewhere in the News call-
ing attention to the event. Also a
neat little folder is being printed for
the occasion, containing the program
and represented by A number of the
business firms of the town.
W. H. Merrill, commander of the
Post, states this is one of the best
quartets in the state and one that the
public will fully enjoy. The artists
are exceptionally good, he says. Be
sure to hear them.
An admission fee of 35c for adults
and 25c for children will be charged.
Make your arrangements right now to
attend.
S\
The time I spend on you each Spring
Could well be used in other ways;
1 find my style of gardening
Is not the kind that pays.
I rise before the birds awake
And labor on till breakfast call;
Again at five my tools I take
And dig till shadows fall.
I spade a quarter-section patch
And sow with care a million seeds;
I pray that every one will hatch—
Then let you go to weeds'

Last week the News printed fifteen
hundred full page circulars for the
Hendler Dry Goods Store of this city
before the editor departed for the
press meet at San Antonio. Accord-
ing to the circular the Big June Har-
vest Sale started on last Saturday,
and the opening day was a big suc-
cess. The sale was put on at the op-
portune time right at the commenc-
ing of summer when folks naturally
want things in the dry goods line
for hot weather wear. A glance at
the prices reveal that they have been
greatly reduced for the cash. If you
haven’t already laid in your supply
of summer wear at these low figures
it will pay you to do so.
Mr. Hendler has a quarter page ad
appearing on the last page of this
issue in which he hs decided to ex-
tend the sale for ten days. In this

UNION SERVICES AT
TABERNACLE POPULAR
The union services now being held
at the tabernacle each Sunday night
in I^idopia are proving very popular
and are being well ttended. All the
churches except the Methodist have
come into it. It is thought this
church will at an early date. The
services are so much cooler under
the tabernacle at night, and then
again, the attendance has been so
small at the night services by en-
tering into a union service a good
sized congregation can be realized-.
The preaching last Sunday night
was by Al B. Nelson, minister of
the Fjrst Christian CThuroh, and
brought a helpful message to those
present., The music was in charge
of the Presbyterian Choir.
