Unique Record Made
by Veteran Minister
Three Generations Joined in
Wedlock by Same Pastor.
The unique dijtinction of having
joined in marriage three generations
of one family, all the parties being
present at the la9t wedding, is the
unique distinction which has fallen to
Rev. C. A. Wooley, a veteran Presby
terian pastor, with charges at Walker
and Dorena.
The last couple to be joined in wed
lock was Stanley M. Andrews and
Miss Laura M. Bailey, both of Eugene.
Rev. Wooley married both the parents
of the bride and groom and also the
grandmother of the bride, and all these
were present at the ceremony. Another
notable feature of the wedding was
the fact that the grandmother and her
first husband were the first couple Rev.
Wooley married after entering the
ministry. Mr. Wooley is still quite

campaign in a meeting at the high
school Sunday afternoon. It was sug
gested that on a technicality the elec
tion could probably be prevented ny in
junction.
The majority,
however,
were in favor of an open test of
strength with the " wets,” declaring
that they believed saloons would lose
out by a large majority.
Several speakers referred to the
difference in conditions since saloons
were voted out six years ago. Busi
ness men present stated that many who
formerly had long accounts now paid
cash. City Marshall Snodgrass stated
that during the first year of his official
life 300 arrests were made, at least 90
per cent being for drunkenness. He
stated that in the last 19 months only
31 arrests had been made for the same
offense and seven of those came direct
from Springfield.
J. I. Jones presided as chairman and
Ernest Purvance as secretary. About
60 were present.
The chairman will appoint commit
tees to have charge of the campaign
and to watch the polls on election day.
