Four Yoang People Are United In ps Matrimony { J ^ '.-.J .JJowlea-BoMaader . A wedding of more than passing in­ terest to their many friends here was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents at West Chicago last Friday afternoon, the contracting parties be­ ing Miss Viola Louise Cowles of West Chicago and Leroy C. Bohlander of this place. The ceremony, which was a simple ring service, was performed at two o'clock by Rev. Thompson, pastor of ths West Chicago M. E. church. The' home was prettily decorated in pink and white cosmos. After the ceremony the happy pair, with their parents, sat down to a dainty lunch, after which the young couple left for Chicago. They ar­ rived in McHenry on Saturday even­ ing and remained the guests of the groom's parents until today, when they left for their future home at Hampshire. The romance, leading jo., the mar­ riage of this couple, began in this vil­ lage about a year ago, when Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Cowles and their daughter made their home in this village. The bride, during her short residence in McHenry, made many warm friends, her ladylike manners and pleasing ways making her a favorite among the young folks soon after taking up her residence here. She also won favor among the theatre-going pub­ lic here last winter, when she ap­ peared in a number est home talent plays at the Central opera house. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Bohlander, highly re­ spected citizens of this village. He came to McHenry with his parents when quite young and has practically spent his entire life here. He attend­ ed the McHenry public school and later on took up a business course at Elgin. Since leaving school he has been employed at his father's store and more recently Its bookkeeper at the Hampshire, 111., plant of the Bor­ den Condensed Milk company, which position he is now filling with marked success. The bridegroom, like the woman of his choice, is also very pop­ ular, being considered one of our best young men. He is possessed of many good business as well as social qual­ ities, which make him a most deserv­ ing young man. Mr. and Mrs. Bohlander are having a home furnished at Hampshire, where they will be pleased to meet their friends on and after October 15. The Plaindealer joins their many friends in extending congratulations. Adams-Oe filing An early morning wedding took place at St. Mary's Catholic church here at 7:30 o'clock on Tuesday morn­ ing of this week, when Miss Eliza­ beth Lillian Adams of Johnsburgh and Mr. John Oeffling of this place were .united in marriage, the cere­ mony having- been performed by Rev. Edw. Berthold, pastor of St. Mary's church. The ceremony was a very quiet af­ fair and was witnessed by only a few of the intimate friends of the pair. The bride was attired in a fur- trimmed navy blue suit and wore a large black picture hat, trimmed with uncurled yellow ostrich plumes. Miss Helen Adams, her sister, attended her. She wore a fur-trimmed green Rus­ sian suit and/ a large black picture hat trimmed with pale pink ostrich plumes. The groom had as his at­ tendant William Schneider, a cousin.

Smith, manager of the Central opera house, McHenry will be given a aeries of high-class lyceum entertainments during the fall and winter months, the first of which will be presented for the approval of the public at the Central opera house on Friday even­ ing of this week, Oct. 1. Mr. Smith has selected a series of entertainments which he believtus will prove as good if not better than any ever presented to the theatre going public of this village. The Metropolitan Lyceum Stars will put on the ""first entertainment. In the organization of this company much care was taken in the selection of artists who not only have given many years of study in the attainment of the high standard of their work, but have also had several years' experi­ ence in the lyceum and chautauqua fields, thus giving them a stage pres­ ence and poise that can only come \from such experience. Each member of this company is capable of giving a complete concert, thereby entitling them to the appella­ tion of the stars; their ensemble shows a finish that can only come from careful coaching. 'Their wide versatility enables them to give an evening's entertainment without tir­ ing their audience with a similarity of numbers, which has been the com­ plaint of many committees. Another feature of this company is the fast, snappy manner in which they present their work, leaving out the tiresome waits between numbers. The company consistes of Mr. Chas. F. Pratt, Miss Nellie E. Richeson and Miss Mary E. Lindsay. Mr. Pratt possesses a very flexible low baritone voice, with which he thrills his audience during the rendi­ tion of his solos. He also displays much cleverness in his portrayal of characters in song, his remarkable dramatic ability enabling him to move his audience to smiles and tears alter­ nately. He also delights his audience with his highly humorous and accurate mimicry of animals. Mr. Pratt is the pianist of the company. His readings have also won him a place in the front rank artists in that line. Miss Richeson took up the study of violin at an early age and from the first showed a marked talent for the instrument. Her bowing is ideal, her tone rich, full and satisfying and her interpretation shows a fine training and a wide knowledge of the reper­ toire of the instrument. She entered the Cincinnati College of Music, win­ ning many laurels as well as a free scholarship as a soloist in that insti­ tution. She was later at the head of the violin department at the Roanoke Institute at Danville, Va. Miss Rich­ eson has a winning personality that never fails to find favor with, her audience. Miss Lindsay is a dramatic contral­ to and musical reader. She has a full, rich voice, clear and sweet with a great breadth of tone and wide range. In the rendition of Scottish songs her dialect is perfect. Her musical read­ ings have won her great favor with her audiences. She is a product of Denver, Colo., and has studied with some of the most eminent teachers in America. She possesses a magnetic personality and charm, which wins the good graces of the audience.

Reboot supplies at Attendance Numbers Three Hundred •̂ Class if Forty-one Candidates Initiated " ' The first McHenry County R. N. A convention took place at Stoffel's hall in this village on Tuesday of this week and, to say the very least, it proved a decided success. Neighbors began to arrive in the village from the time of the arrival of the first early morning train and the influx of visitors continued up to the noon hour. In all there were 300 present at the convention, ten of the twelve McHenry county camps an swering to roll call. The meeting was called to order at 10:30 by Mrs. Westlake of Solon Mills, first vice president of the convention, Mrs. Hattie E. Smaltz, the president of the convention, being unable to at­ tend 'on account of an injury received on Labor dajK A telegram of regret was sent her from the floor of the convention. The hall never looked prettier than on this occasion, the Royal Neighbor colors being used thruout. Mrs. W F. Holtz was responsible for the dec­ orations. Tn commenting on the dec oration, Mrs. Laura E. Brumagain, who has traveled quite extensively as special adjuster for the R. N. A., re­ marked that she had never seen it excelled anywhere. * After the opening ode and prayer, Mrs. S. S. Giddings, oracle of the Riv erview camp of this village, read Dr. D. G'. Wells* address of welcome, the mayor being out of town on a sick call. Mayor Wells' address, as read, was as follows: Neighbors and Friends: As a member of the local camp of R. N. A., and as mayor of this village, extend a most cordial welcome to all who are present. It is my sincere wish and hope that you will all partake of this welcome to its full est extent, climatic conditions not­ withstanding. It is my regret that our village may not at this time of the year afford the very best means of enjoyment to its visitors, but if all present this morning receive that amount of pleasure in being here and will leave this entertainment with the spirit that they have whiled away a few short hours, full of pleasure to* themselves, then I believe all of us whb have contributed our time and labor towards making this event a success will feel amply repaid for our efforts in trying to promote the wel­ fare and popularity of this camp which Ih this manner extends its friendship and hospitality to you. In numbers only is our order sec ond, that order of which we are a part ranking first. In fraternal spirit none excel us. Our order is non- sectarian, by reason of which nothing but harmony exists, and with harmony success must and will follow. Mrs. Reynolds, your deputy, has labored hard *nd under a very severe strain. Her work shows how compe­ tent she is in her line and should be -a lesson to local deputies. Mrs. Mary A. Lanning, who follows me, has, I understand, some very fine R. N. A. doings about which she will talk to you in her own inimitable way, and I trust that you will give her every consideration. My allotted time is five minutes and I have endeavored to keep under the mark. Hoping that the balance of the program for the day will be a howling success and with best wishes for the order, Yours. His address was followed by a re­ sponse by Mrs. Mary E. Lanning of Harvard, which we also herewith re- produce: Mrs. President and Neighbors of the first McHenry county convention: In behalf of the camps here repre­ sented I do heartily thank you for the cordial welcome extended to us by the honored gentleman, the mayor of your beautiful city, and also the or­ acles of both camps of McHenry. When I received one of your pro­ grams, informing me that your mayor Was to give' the address of welcome, it took all the conceit out of me. To think of just a woman, and a common oracle, of only seventeen years' ex­ perience, to respond to so brainy a man as the mayor of a city, I felt very unequal to the task. When I realized that I was to rep­ resent the R. N. A. of McHenry county as well as the largest fraternal beneficial society in the United States, governed by women, I felt honored. The society operates in forty-five states and provinces. There are moTe than seven thousand camps. There is a membership of 337,394 now. Did you ever stop to think what it means to "the head officers of the society and the amount of good we have done and are doing T Think of our big brothers, the M. W. A.

As you have turned over the keys of your beautiful city to us, I hope the Neighbors will not take too many liberties. Again, Mrs. President, I thank you for the honors conferred. * ^ Mary A.

Dinner was served at the M. W. A. hall, just across the street, by Mrs. Elizabeth Laures. Here the hall and tables were also decorated with the R. N. A. colors, an especially pleasing sight being the decorations on the table of honor, the three letters, R. N. A., being most artistically arranged on the snowy white table cloth with green smilax. The dinner itself was set to a queen's taste, Mrs. Laures re­ ceiving many flattering compliments on her ability at preparing and serv­ ing- f • * The afternoon session was called at l:So o'clock^, with the Riverview camp officers filling the stations. Mrs. Brumagain and Mrs. Reynolds were introduced with a patriotic march, followed with the reading of the following poem by Mrs. Giddings, the poem having been prepared and written for this special occasion by Mrs. W. F. Holtz: Neighbors! We've here a guest of fraternal fame, Mrs. Brumagain by name. A member of that supreme band, Whose names are blessed thruotit our land.

The team is composed of the very best talent in the camp and they performed their work without the aid of a captain The relief basket was then filled and while this was being done the follow­ ing song, from the pen of Mrs. W.

Sixteen members of uniform size and age of the Fox River Valley camp then executed a garland drill, for which work they received a rising, vote of thanks and the grand honors. Members of the Riverview camp then presented Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Gid­ dings with a beautiful rocker in ap­ preciation for their efforts in bring­ ing about the first convention of Mc­ Henry county, as they are chiefly re­ sponsible for Tuesday's event. They also presented Mrs. Brumagain with a cut glass dish and Mrs. Reynolds with a sterling silver mounted mani­ cure set. The next convention will be held at Harvard some time during the month of September, 1916, with Mrs. Mary T.awning of that city as president.

This, it is hoped, will carry the water away underground instead of making a mill race out of Green street, as has been the case on rainy days in the past. Twelve members of the Social club pf Crystal Lake motored to this Vil­ lage last Thursday, where they were entertained at a luncheon given by Mrs. G. A. Himler. The auto trip was highly enjoyed as was the enter­ tainment furnished them by their Mc­ Henry hostess. The occasion was in­ deed a happy one. Mrs. F. A. Holly showed the writer fully developed strawberry taken from a bed at the Holly home last Thursday. The berry was large and apparently as juicy as those taken' tfrom the same bed during the regular season. Enjoying home grown straw­ berries at this time of the year is out of the ordinary, but this is just what the Holly family has been doing. The Wilbur Lumber company's property in this village is being given every fire protection available.
