CHURCH WEDDING
Celebrated Tuesday Evening at
Methodist Church—Brilliant
Reception Eollows in
Wake.
The marriage of Miss Laura
Bailey Johnson of this city and
Mr. George Jefferson Terry of
Prescott, solemnized at the Meth
odist church Tuesday evening at
8 o’clock, under the prettiest of
settings in the way of elaborate
and beautiful floral decorations,
was not only an event of interest
to local society, but attracted
many out of town visitors, unit
ing as it does in the holy tie, two
prominent families of different
cities and sections.
Autumn foliage in all its rich
ness and striking tints of color
contributed chiefly to the embel
lishments of the church’s beau
ty, with here and there huge
bunches of chrysanthemums, in
terwoven with red berries. The
semi-circular chancel was hidden
beneath a mass of vines and foli
age.
The wedding party reached
the church promptly at eight
o’clock, their entrance being pre
ceded by that favorite solo, “0
Promise Me,” sung by Mrs.G. A.
Hillhouse in her clear, sweet so
nrnnn
Following this came the strains
of Mendelssohn’s wedding march
rendered by Miss Mae Whittaker.
The ushers, Messrs. Will McGof
fin, Sprigg Fourshee, W. T. Par
rish and Ralph Richardson, en
tered the church singly by way
of the two side aisles. Following
them came the groomsmen and
bridesmaids, first, Mr. Charles
Holmes and Miss Aubrey Arnold,
Mr. Ernest McDonald and Miss
Mae McEhvee, who entered sing
ly, but opposite each other, on
the outside aisles; then the maid
of honor Miss Josephine Phillips,
who came down the center aisle,
followed by the bride, who was
met at the altar by the groom
and his best man, Mr. Will Cant
ley, who entered the church from
che left door and took their posi
tions to the right of the altar.
The ceremony was very beau
tifully said by Dr. Cadesman
Pope, who pronounced the bles
sings of the Divine upon the
plighted troth.
The bride wore a handsome
gown of shirred silk mousseline
over white taffeta, trimmed with
a deep bertha of point lace, her
bridal veil reaching to the hem
of her dress. She carried an ex
quisite bouquet of bride’s roses
nd ferns and was indeed beau
t ful tq behold. The maid of
honor and bridesmaids wore
dainty costumes of white silk
w’v,ch deep yokes and lace berthas
a id carried bouquets of white i
c irnations.
A reception to the bridal party
f >llowed the ceremony at the
home of the bride’s mother and
s'ster, Mesdames Margaret
Jehnson and Harry Herring.
Here, too, the decorator’s work
w as everywhere apparent and the
fragrance of cut flowers per
m jated the atmosphere and en
hanced the good feeling of the
propitious event.
Delicious brick cream and cake
were served and the cutting of
th 3 wedding cake afforded the
u ual fun and merriment.
The many beautiful and useful
p’! 3sents received by the newly
wed testify to the number of
t) eir friends, both far and near.
The bride is one of Newport’s
p. ettiest and most popular girls,
w th a disposition and high char
a. ;er that insure the continuance
o the love of the sweetheart in
t. > e devotion of the husband, and
t .ore are none who would extend
other than congratulations to the
j
fortunate groom, who comes of a
good family and has a promising
business future.
In extending the congratula
tions of friends the Independent
offers its best wishes for a happy
I and useful wedded life to this
; worthy young couple. May hap
1 piness smile continually upon
their pathway and crown their
lives with success and prosperity.

After December 1, 1904, the
Independent will be sent outside

scriptions paid in advance, and
will belstopped upon the expira
tion of the time for which they
are paid.
Subscribers will be notified two
weeks prior to the expiration of
their subscription, and prompt
renewals |will cause no skips in
receiving the’paper.
Our outside mailing list has
reached those proportions which
make this step necessary to pro
tect ourselves, and we feel that
the change will not be objection
able, but rather’ in accordance
with the wishes of our outside
readers,
The Independent^has’only one
subscription Jprice, $1.00jfa year

month for the Daily, but the
postal charge for papers to out

postoffice in Jackson county, or
such towns as Bradford, Alicia,
Minturn, Newark, in closely con
tiguous teiTitory.
SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed
through man’s handi-work“alone.
In this valley which is now com
fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
canals and open to settlement.
This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the acre of
large size and fine variety. Wheat
yields from 40 to 70 bushels to
the acre with an average ^weight
of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
crops of alfalfa are raised each
season in the Snake River valley.
The climate is superb and of
great value as a tonic for mind
and body. Home-seekers’ low
rates to the Snake River valley
are in effect via LTnion Pacific,
the 'only direct route. Why not
visit this district in , person and
fully realize its great possibili
ties? For full information ad

BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the |
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on .
display at the Palace Jewelry :
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy |
or girl under two years of age, j
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,
nor shall any employe or party
connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue oi the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December

these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou

sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In

Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
posited in a lock box, to be opened
