WEDDING BELLS AT LaBARQUE

Mr. Herman OBERHAUS and Miss Lillie WADE were united in the happy bond of matrimony Thursday, June 19, 1913, at 7:00 p. at the residence of Mr. J. H. WADE. The ceremony was performed by Judge M. F. DUNIGAN, who drove twenty-five miles through dust and heat to be present and to meet his old neighbors and friends. Mr. OBERHAUS and Miss WADE were sweethearts from childhood and a similar coincidence is that they were schoolmates and graduated under the Judge's careful teaching, and at the same time their fathers were members of school board.

The bride is a pretty brunette and was attired in a beautiful dress of white embroidery, wore white slippers and flowers. The bridesmaid was Miss Mabel OBERHAUS who also wore white. The groom is a decided blond, and a young business man of good character living at Byrnesville. He was dressed in a becoming black suit, and looked his best, as also did the groomsman Mr. Sam PERRY. After the ceremony and congratulations were offered by their many friends who joined to make the occasion a happier one, all marched to the dining room where all the good eatables of the season were in abundance, prepared by the bride's mother. Old and young joined in dancing until a late hour, when all departed wishing Mr. and Mrs. OBERHAUS many happy days together. They will be at home to their many friends at Byrnesville after July 10, 1913.

FATALLY OVERCOME BY THE HEAT

Robert SMITH age 60 and living near Goldman was overcome by heat in his hay field Friday, and died in a few hours.

Mr. SMITH was born and raised in the county and is a brother to Alfred SMITH. He leaves a second wife and three children, two sons and a daughter all married and living in the same township. He was buried in Hillsboro Sunday afternoon.
