The bride is the popular and ac
complished daughter of J. H. Gray,
at whose home, near Post, the cere
mony was performed. Mr. Stover
is a promising young man, recent
ly from Council Grove, Kan., but
now ranching near Post, where the
young couple will make their
home. The ceremony was per
formed by Rev. C. A. Housel of
Prineville in the presence of a
number of relatives and friends.
The bride was becomingly at
tired in a gown of silk Persian
lawn and wore orange blossoms in
her hair. The groom wore the
conventional black, with a spray
of orange blossoms in his button
hole. x After the ceremony, the
bridal couple with the guests, sat
down to a splendid wedding din
ner, the table groaning under an
abundant supply of all the good
things possible to obtain.
Those present were Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Gray, Roy Gray, Bruce
Gray, Maybelle Reed, Mr. and Mrs.
Ralph Breese, Mr. and Mrs. Wm,
Keehn, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Rowell.
Mr. and Mrs. Homer Norton, Mrs.
Ora Poindexter, Miss Iva West,
Gaylord McDanel, Wm. Post, Mr.
and Mrs. Otto Gray, Rev. Moore,

beautiful presents were received.

At a meeting held in the Fire
men's Hall Tuesday evening the
local band had a re-organization
with the election of Adrian Crooks
aa president, Warren Smith, secretary-treasurer,
and Dr. J. H. Ro en
berg, as trustee. The president,
secretary and the one trustee form
& board of trustees for the transac
tion of the band's business affairs.
C. A. Riddle was engaged as musi
cal director.
About fifteen band men were
present, many of whom are already
proficient on their instruments,
and the practice held after the
business meeting had adjourned
showed that Prineville has the ma
terials for the development of a
first-class band, and the spirit of
those who are taking part eives
evidence that no effort will be
spared to make the band a com
plete success.
The question of a name for the
organization was discussed but the
band members finally concluded
that just plain "Prineville Band"
was good enough for them.
The charter membership roll
will be held open for a short time
longer, after which time those de
siring to join may find that they
will have to meet requirements not
demanded of those who join now.
Another reason why those who ex
pect to join should come in at once
is that the matter of ordering uni
forms will be taken up at an early
date.
The prospect is that the town
will have one of the best bands in
its history, and it will be but a few
weeks until the organization hopes
to enliven the streets by playing
regular weekly open air concerts.
