On March 5 a delightful reception
was tendered by Mrs. Bessie Spencer
in honor of her new daughter io law,
Mrs. Wallace Sponcer. About 75 par-
ticipated. After congratulating this
worthy couple the crowd enjoyed them
selves by playing games and in social
chat until a late hour when a delic­
ious luncheon was served. When the
bride and groom were ready to leave

shouldered them both and carried them
out amid a shower of rice.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Farmers’ Loan association of Columbia

kane bank. Henry Ott was appointed
director in place of Gerald Bohn, who

cials oi the association are very en­
thusiastic about the benefits that will
accrue to the project when the busi­
ness of tbo association is thoroughly
