George I. Anderson of Cove will to
night lead a pretty Cove girl to the
specially-prepared altar in the county
fair building and before an audience
that Is. expected to number Into the
thousands at least will be united in
marriage by Dr. J. D. Gillllan. La
Grande has waited these many daya to
see this same public wedding and so
ciety will be out en masse to see the
ceremony. Perfect decorum, fitting
music, as much reverence to the asso
ciation as though It were a house wed
ding, will go to make the event a so
ciety function. . ' '
The ceremony .. . commences" at 8
o'clock. The Cove bride and groom
are In the city this afternoon awaiting
the hour which to them is to be so Im
portant an event in their lives.
It will require drays to haul home
the presents which La Grande business
men have "showered" the bride and
groom with and by the time all these
have been safely stowed away In their
future home there will be a long start
toward a furnished house.
The rains today, Sunday and the
downpour of Saturday night drooped
the hilarious colors and banners at the
fair grounds slightly but, the balance
of the fair period will be as Important
as any that has gone before. '
