Yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs R. B. Harris, the marriage of Miss Della Harris and Mr. O. F. Parker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Parker," took place. About sixty guests were present. Elder J. L. Brady officiated. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Parker departed for a bridal trip of a few day’s duration. Last evening at eight o’clock, the wedding of Mr. Jay W. M. Stockton and Miss Stella Perkins took place at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Perkins. Rev. Clarence I). Royße officiated. Another’ wedding that also took place last evening was that of Mr. C. E. Duvall and Miss Leona Biggs, at eight o’clock, at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Biggs, south of town. Rev. A. G. Work officiated. Mr. and Mrs. Duvall will go to housekeeping in Mr. Makeever’s tenant house on South Webster street, which has already been prepared for their reception. Owing to the hour of going to press, we are unable to give a detailed account of these weddings. The two Atlantic type passenger engines which the Monon a few months ago ordered from the Brooks locomotive works are about completed and are expected to arrive at the shops the last of this week. They will be in a class by themselves on the Moaon—known as the 300 class of engines. After they are set up at the shops they will be placed in service pulling the fast passenger trains on the Air Line. The engines now in service on the fast trains on the Air Line will be used on the main line.
