ING CHURCH SERVICE
It came as quite a syrprise to the
congregation of the Zion Lutheran
church in this place at the close of
the Sunday service when the pastor,
Rev. D. W. Michael, announced that
he was about to conduct the marriage
ceremony of Miss Ella Viola Ebbecka
and Mr. Harry Archer Hammond}
The congregation all remained for the
nuptial rites to be solemnized. Ij mmm
==The bride and groom enteredfthe
auditorium of the church from the
Sunday school room unattended. The
ceremony was, quite impressive and
it was, indeed fitting thut there be-
fore the altar of the church the bride
should have her vows with those of
her husband plighted as she has been
a most devoted worker in the church
and a most estimable young lady.
At the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr and Mrs. H. J. Ebbecka, an
elaborate dinner was served, after
which Mr. and Mrs. HammondZleft on
a tour to Niagara Falls. They will
reside in Pittsburg, where the groom
holds a responsible position as train
dispatcher.

lodged with the proper officials at
Harrisburg regarding an alleged in-

in an open wagon that is not too
cleanly, along a much traveled State

avers that the people of the village
are afraid of an outbreak of typhoid
