VHJJU B. PIILLirS liMB Tikes Ctlifeniu tcr (rife * tali nitk j Tbe Porters viile, OaL, Messenger says: i. One of the prettiest society events of tbe present social season at Porterse ville. Gal., was tbe wedding of Wils liam Bam ber Phillips, City Engineer, i- formerly of Cape May. brother of Ifr. d W. H. Phillips here, and Miss Elizabeth B. Cochran, sister of Mrs. M. A. Larg son. a very attr^ctive'snd popular young society lady of that city. The i. wedding was solemnized Thursday n evening, November 18th, at the new Congregational Church. The ceremony took place promptly at 8 o'ektek. The n music was furnished by an orchestra under the leadership of Miss Dickine son. The Lohengrin and Mendelssohn's - wedding marches were rendered and s the sweet strains of tbe "Simple Con0 feaaion" were beard daring the ceren mony. "A noticeable feature of the - affair was the many handsome gowns d that were in evidence both at the s church and the Larson borne where tbf r wedding reception was held after the ■ ceremony. a After the guest had assembled the e church door opened and the wedding 1 party entered. The two litte flower boys. Gilbert Veile and Austin Hathaway, beaded the march and were followed by (be ring bearer. Master John 1 Oarr. Miss Cochran en'ered accompanied by ber sister, Mrs. M. A Lar - ' son, matron of honor. Then came tbe OBbers, Mesrss. A. J. Newbury, H. C. ■ Oarr, F. W. Veilie, E. N. White, George C. Murphy and J. A. Ulmer. Tbe bride^was handsomely gowned 'n white meesallne silk trimmed with Duchess Nee. The gown was made en - train e and tbe bride carried a great cluster of lilliee of tbe valley and maiden 1 hair fern. ' The maid of honor was dressed In a most becoming gown of heliotrope meesaline silk. The party was met at tbe altar by the ( tbe officis Ing minister, Rev. Albert ' | Bryant; the groom and tbe best man ' M. Bay re, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis C. Bayre, of Cape May. The | ceremony was brief, but very suggestive. Following the ceremony those invited 1 tbe reception assembled at tbe 1 Larson home where congratulations 1 were showered upon the bride and , groom and refreshments served. Tbe house was prettily decorated In 1 and feme and In tbe center of tbe 1 spacious living room stood tbe table ' . upon which was the we ding cabe. The 1 cake contained several articles of «ood 1 namely: a ring, a thimble and a ' dime, tbe ring fell to Mrs A. M. Graef ' . and thimble to Mrs E. N. White. ' The wending gifts that were exhibited at the bride's home Thursday ' evening were many and beautiful. 1 At 11 o'clock the bride and groom Jthemselves in their traveling ' costumes and were escorted to a waitautomobile in which they were : supposed to be driven to Tulare where I they were to catch a southbound "Owl" for Los Angeles on their honeymoon. They were given a joyous departure by tbe guests and several of the automobi lists made an effort to them for a few miles, but found . that every machine had been tempor^ arily put out of commiasion and before they could be induced to start the bride and groom were supposed to be miles The following morning, however, the guests discovered tnat thej* had been deceived and that intsead of going to Tulare they had spent tbe night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Hathaway and were driven tbe next morning tbe depot where they boarded the \ train for the south unmolested by friend or foe. The suit cases that were so beautifully decorated during the reception were discovered to be the property of some one else, another incident of one of the best planned jokes that has been perpetrated in this city in some time. Upon their return home from the j south, Mr and Mrs. Phillips will make j their home on East Putnam avenue, , where they have one of the prettiest bungalows in the city, just belpg com- , pleted. f MANY CHILDREN ARE SICKLY 1 Mother Gray's Sweet Powders for 4 Children, used by Mother Gray, a nurse S Children's Home, New York, Break ^ up Colds in 24 hours, cure Feverish- t Headache, Stomach Troubles, Teething, Disorders, and Destroy ' Worms.

(8) As a preacher of the Word, be e has always been sound, able, practical and popular. 8 (3) Although there has not been that e spiritual progress hoped for by both > Pastor and Deople, there has been a very evident advanoe in material prosperity accomplished daring this pastorate in tbe way of greatly improving s andjearing for our bouse of worship r and manae ; for more money has been raised in a single year, than in any one previoos year in the history of this ~ old church. This large edifice has been - frescoed and painted, the building covered by a new roof, and tbe manse painted ; this was done at a cost of : upwards of $2000. And, In addition to ' these improvements, a movement has : been inaugurated to raise an endow ment fund of $10,000, which it is contemplated and devoutly hoped shall b- 1 consumated by, or before, September, RAPI NG BENEFIT From the Expsrieoceof Cape ay People.
