There were many guests present, and immediately after the ceremony ice cream and cake were served. The young coupld tried to steal away from their company to start on their wedding trip to Eastern Washington but it was of no use for they were followed in autos to Albany. Their suitcases were stolen as was also the groom's hat and coat. The rice that was strewn on them promiscuously would have fed a small family for an indefinite time had it been applied that way. The bride's bouquet was of beautiful red roses, and in lieu of a wedding cake with its prophetical superstitions, the bouquet was divided into three parts and thrown into the midst of the guests. Miss Beulah Miller got the part containing the button, which of course, is an infallible sign that she will die a spinster. Miss Bessie Bond got the part containing the dime. That sign is just as infallible as the other and so we can look for her to be rich woman... The portion of the bouquet containing the wedding ring fell to Miss Hazel Straley, and as the other two signs are infallible, so also is this one, and the Enterprise extends its congratutlations to Miss Straley on being the next bride among those who attended the wedding. Who the lucky man is to be the signs don't say....The bridal march was played by Miss Elepha Cummings... The bride wore a beautiful gown of white silk chiffon voile beaded in blue. The groom wore the conventional black (we suppose, if not black some other color) and a most happy time was enjoyed. The couple think they have dodged the charivariers but they may have another think or two coming on that line. They will make their future home on the Mitzner farm north of town. The Enterprise extends its congratulations.⁷

The portion of the bouquet containing the wedding ring fell to Miss Hazel Straley, and as the other two signs are infallible, so also is this one, and the Enterprise extends its congratutlations to Miss Straley on being the next bride among those who attended the wedding. Who the lucky man is to be the signs don't say....The bridal march was played by Miss Elepha Cummings... The bride wore a beautiful gown of white silk chiffon voile beaded in blue. The groom wore the conventional black (we suppose, if not black some other color) and a most happy time was enjoyed. The couple think they have dodged the charivariers but they may have another think or two coming on that line. They will make their future home on the Mitzner farm north of town. The Enterprise extends its congratulations.³
