WEDDING BELLS
RING AT END OF
LONG JOURNEY
‘ One of the most beautiful wed
dings witnessed in Nenana took
place in the lobby of the Cooney
hotel last night at 10 o’clock, when
Miss Ella Haney of Athens, Tennes
see, became the bride of Mr. H.
Farlie Singleton of Aberdeen, Wash
ington, both of the contracting par
ties being recent arrivals in Alaska.
At the hour set for the cere
mony, the bride, lovely in a gown
of white charmeuse and bridal veil
of real princess lace, with shower
boquet of smilax and hothouse flow
ers, descended the stairs into the
lobby to the strains of the wedding
march, where she was joined by
the groom. The impressive ring
ceremony was used, the vows being
plighted before an improvised altar
of native fire flowers and grasses,
Rev. Robert Joseph Diven, of Grace
Presbyterian church, officiating, and
the bridal couple being attended by
Mrs. M. J. Cooney, beautifully at
tired in a white lace gown, and by
Mr. John Singleton, brother of the
groom.
The hotel lobby had been trans
formed into a bower of beauty for
the occasion, the decorations consist
ing almost entirely of wild flowers
and native Alaskan foliage, very
artistically arranged, with here and
there a hothouse plant, the whole
arrangement being typically North
iern and the color scheme original
jand most effective.
The wedding was followed by a
public reception, which was very
largely attended, and during which
:the wedding cake was cut and the
favors distributed. The bridal bo
quet, which was thrown to the
young lady guests by the bride, was
caught by Miss Dorothy de la Pole,
who later found the thimble in the
cake. The dime, the prophecy of
'wealth, went to Miss Adeline Fer
retti, the ring to Miss Betty Fos
ter, and the button to Mr. Karry
G. Abercrombie. There was a lib
eral serving of refreshments while
the reception was in progress, and
at midnight the entire party ad
journed to the Bowen building, just
across the street from the hotel, and
danced for several hours.
The reception accorded Nenanaites
the opportunity not only of meet
ing the newlyweds, but also other
recent arrivals from the States, and
I bidding farewell to Dr. and Mrs.
[David H. More, who left for the
[states on the Yukon this morning.
Among the reception guests recent
ly arrived were Mr. and Mrs. Rich
ard C. Morris, Dr. and Mrs. Mal
colm E. Smith, Dr. Thomas O. Lake,
and Mr. Harry G. Abercrombie, and
there were also present Mrs. James
G. Moore and Mrs. W. H. Handley
iof Fairbanks.
Those assisting: Mrs. Cooney at
the reception were: Mrs. F. D.
Browne, Mrs. Printz, Misses Porothy
de la Pole, Ruth Moir, and Eunice
Thrift.

Mr. and Mrs. Singleton will leave
for Lignite on this evening’s train,
to make their home at the new
Singleton roadhouse, which is one
of the finest establishments of the
kind in Central Alaska and situ
ated in the midst of beautiful sur
roundings, almost in the shadow of
America’s tallest peak, Mt. McKin
ley. . .
Mrs. Singleton came to Nenana
direct from Athens, Tennessee, ar
riving here on Sunday on the steam
er Yukon. Mr. Singleton is also a
recent arrival in Alaska, having
come North several weeks ago to
take a partnership in the Singleton
holdings at Lignite, the business
having increased to such an extent
lately that it was impossible for
Jack Singleton to conduct die road
house unassisted. Both the bride
and the groom were residents of
Tennessee, and it was in that state
that the courtship started which cul
minated last night in a happy union, i
Mr. Singleton left Tennessee some |
itime ago and located in Aberdeen,!
Washington, from which place he j
came to Alaska.

NEW FIELD OPENED
TO MOVING-PICTURE
MEN BY AIRPLANES
LONDON.—Aircraft development
during the last few years has thrown
open to the moving-picture man an
entirely new field. It may be some
years yet before flying comes with
in the means of the ordinary per
son as a mode of travel, but through
the film he may experience some of
the artistic joys of aviation.
Already a certain amount of
aerial cinema photography has been
carried out successfully—enough, at
least, to measure its possibilities.
In the near future, it is expected,
magnificent mountain scenery will
be photographed from aircraft, not
only in Switzerland and in the
United States, but in Abyssinia, the
Himalayas, and other less-explored
regions of the world.
The whole of a wonderful flight
from, say, San Francisco to London,
or from London to India or to Aus
tralia, may in time be shown to
the public.
