Popular Young Couple Married.

One of the most pleasant weddings that has ever occurred in this city, because it united two such universally popular people, was that on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock of Miss Ella Doris Porter, daughter pf Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Porter, to Mr. Emory Smith Mills, son of Mrs. C. E. Mills. The ceremony took place at the Porter home on Weston street, in the presence of a number of relatives and several friends, the latter consisting largely of members of the girlß’ T. H. D. Club, of which the bride was a member. The ceremony was performed by Rev. O. E. Miller of the First Baptist church. While the wedding was being performed an automobile pulled quietly up behind the woodshed at the Porter home, and after the young couple had received the congratulations of their” friends they slipped out the back way and before their absence was discovered they were speeding toward the depot The lady guests discovered when they Btarted to follow suit that all their hat pins and gloves had been removed and there was a hasty scrambling. The bride and groom would have made their escape, but the 2:57 train was about 20 minutes late and the wedding guests were soon on the depot platform, and rice, old shoes and placards were used to start the happy couple off on their wedding tour. Mr. Cleave Eger and Miss Juno Kannal accompanied them as far as Chicago. Mr. Mills is the assistant superintendent of the Muncie Wheel Co., of Muncie, and they will make their home in that city.
