Many Attended Reception To Newly Married Couple.

Probably the largest attended reception to a young married couple ever given in Rensselaer was that tendered Tuesday evening to friends of Mr. arid Mrs. George A. Long, who had just returned from an automobile trip to Greensburg, Ind. The reception was held at the residence of A. F. Long, on River street, Mr. and Mrs. Long and Miss Martha extending the invitations which read “to meet Mr. and Mrs. George A. Long.” Threatening rain caused a change in the plan of holding the reception on the spacipus lawn and it was held in the house instead. Mr. and George A. Long, Miss Jane Moody, Miss Lucy Boyd, Miss Martha Long, Mrs. A. F. Long and Mrs. Granville Moody stood in the receiving line. Some thirty at a time were ushered into the dining room and served with ice cream and cake. Punch was served in one of the parlors. The guests were entertained with musical numbers by Mrs. M. D. Gwin, Miss Alice Shedd, Mrs. J. A. Dunlap and Miss Georgia Harris. A step toward solving the question of governmental aid to the founding of vocational educational schools was taken by the senate Friday through the passage of Senator Hoke Smith’s bill providing for a commission of nine experts to study the question and report to the next session of congress.
