AROUND THE GOUNTY
Gresham has renewed her contracts
with the city of Portlan«! whereby she
will continue to get her water supply
from the City as lias been done for the
past two years.
Roa«l improvements are demanded by
residents of Taylor Avenue, a street one
mile east of Buckley Avenue, between
the Base line and Section Line.
People who are asked to sign recall
petition-; against the city commissioners
should consider the matter well before
taking any such action. A little care­
ful investigation will probably disclose
the fact that the recall is being promoted
' by some one who wants a commissioner­
ship.
County Superintendent Armstrong waa
tried this week for having accept­
ed a bribe while a member of the Civil
Service Commission of the city of Port­
land.
A very pleasing event was tbe mar-
riage of Timothy H. Lydston of Mid­
vale, Idaho to Hattie M. Willisof Lents
on the evening of February 26 at tbe
Lents Baptist church.
For tbe affair
the auditorium bad been most taste­
fully decorated by some of the young
people of tbe church. Mrs. J. 8. Hurl­
butt rendered most beautifully as a
solo “My Heart Loves You Too” by
Roma.
The
wadding
procession
marched in to the strains of Lohengrin’s
Wedding March, played by Mias Fay
Hickox. Tbe bride waa given away by
the father, E. H. Willis. She waa ac­
companied by her cousin, Miss Jennie
Storey., The bride was dressed in a
pretty gown of white brocade satin,
with veil and orange blossoms, carrying
a shower bouquet of white carnations.
The bride’s maid was gowned in blue
silk and spangled net, and carried a
bouquet of pink carnet one. The offici­
ating clergyman was the bride’» pastor,
J.-M. Nelson, who perform««! the im­
pressive ring ceremony. Tbe wedding
was witnessed by about seventy-five
invited guest».
After the wedding
ceremony a bountiful collation waa
served at tbe home of tbe bride’s par­
ents to a few of tbe special friends. The
couple received many beautiful and
costly gifts.
Mr. and Mrs. Lydston will leave Fri­
day for their future home in Midvale;

with his father in a stock ranch. A
host of friends join in well-wishes for
their future happiness.
