Rev. Harper Had Two More Weddings Last Week.

Rev. C. L. Harper, who will go to the Northwest Indiana conference Tuesday, closed up his conference year here with five weddings in a week, that is, counting both Saturdays in the week. This made a total of 29 weddings during the year, which is probably the record tor the year. , On Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock he married Miss Virdia Smith and Mr. Allen Osman. Both reside in Rensselaer and the groom is a carpenter by trade. The first Indian ceremony ever ■performed by Rev. Harper took place Saturday afternoon at 5 o’clock, when he married Sherman Biggs, a farmer who was attired in his Red Men’s uniform. The pretty Indian squaw was Miss Edna May Dewey, who had just turned 18 on Sept. 15th. They will reside in a modern home on a farm and not in an Indian tepee. Both are excellent young couples and will receive the heartiest best wishes of their many friends.
