Miss Viola Baker held one of the

held here, the only unpleasant fea-

should have been: double what it
was. An orchestra of four pieces,
from Lancaster, furnished the music.
They were a good number of con-|
testants for the three prizes which
were ‘awarded as follows: Finest
costume, Miss Florence Heilig, of
this place, as an Indian girl; Comic
costume, Mr, Jacob Lehn of Eliza-

Former Residents Wed
Rev. Lloyd M. Martin and Miss
Sue Gable, both former residents of
this place, were united in the holy
bonds of wedlock at the home of
the bride in Dayton, Ohio, on Oct.
27th. It will be remembered that
the groom was born and raised in
this community, He is now a pas-
tor in the United Brethren Church
and was serving a pastorate in
Tennessee until about a month ago
when he was appointed to a charge
in Ohio. The family of the bride
occupied the U. B. parsonage here
until last spring, when her father,
the late Rev. H. S. Gable, died very
suddenly, after which they moved to
Dayton. The happy couple have
gone to housekeeping in their new-
ly furnished home at College Hill,
Cincinnati, Ohio. They have the
beet wishes of a host of friends.
