SOCIAL TIES.

Miss Simmons' Reception to the High School Claaa Last Evening.

One of the most pleasant and brilliant receptions in social life was that last evening, given by Miss Jessie, the charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Simmons, to her classmates in High school. The handsome residence on North Morton street was a scene of gaiety, handsome youths and maidens when The World reporter called. The beautiful lawn was dotted here and there with rustic seats, while the branches of the overshedding trees were fairly sparkling with Chinese lanterns that cast a halo over the youth and beauty below. The parlors, spac ioas and brilliantly lighted thronged with the happy couples, made the older persons' minds wander back to their youthful days. Miss Jessie received her guests and extended to them the freedom of the grounds. No games ""tnf dancing were indulged in. Reed's orchestra furnished music for the occasion and the sweet strains lioated throughout the rooms and grounds. Refreshments in the way of cake, strawberries and cream with lemon ices constituted the menu that all heartily enjoyed. The guests were loath to depart when the familiar strains of "Home, Sweet Home" lloat:d out on the morning air. It was a pleasant reception, such iis those present will ne'er forget.

Architect Jeckel, of Anderson, who was here a few days ago to examine the Walnut Street Presbyterian church property, as to the advisability of remodeling the stiucture has submitted a plan which he estimates will cost seven thousand dollars to complete. Tn his letter addressed to Mrs. T. E. Lawes, chairman of the committee, he gives it as her opinion that it would not be advisable to remodel the old buildiug. By yesterday's exprass he sent two plans for completed net" buildings and these will be submitted to the members of the congregation for their opinions.

He said that it afforded him special pleasure to know that his follow citizens, fellow comrades aud members of the G A li had not forgotten the fallen heroes, and that there was one day in the year set apart, when prattling childhood, palsied age and vigorous manhood shall visit the graves of the patriot dead and with filial affection, cover them with the sweet fresh ilnvers of spring. To do this to strew these graves is no mere act of sentiment. It is an act of religious and

patriotic sinficanee, a just and titting tribute to those men your fathers, brothers and sons, whose patriotic souls went to the great God of Battles. This solemn and instructive festival of our Nation's dead coming as it does from thousands of fraternal hearts all over our broad land. May it purify our heart, may it makes us better citizens, and better men; and may it strengthen and reknit the silken ties which bind us together on one people, one in peace, and in war, and in sunshine and storm. After the address the procession formed as follows and marched to the Cemetery. Mechanics' Band. Co II Indiana State Militia. School Children with flowers. Sons of Veterans. Citizens on foot.

OUT AT LAST.

The World Ferrets Out That Seeret Marriage.

Some days ago The World published an item that a marriage license had been granted to V. F. and JL. C. T., leaving our readers to guess who the parties were as they had Clerk Woodward pledged not to divulge it.

But Thk World went to work on the case and this morning takes pleasure in announcing that the romatie couple is Mr. Voris Freeman and Lola C. Thompson. The wedding1 oceured on Sunday evening, May 19th, at the bride's residence near Stanford. The happy young couple were not going to live together until December, but they now no doubt will change their notion when it becomes public. The groom is a prosperous young farmer of Greene county and the bride is well known in and around Stanford, being the daughter of Joseph Thompson, Tms World is the first to give notice of this happy and romantic marriage but it was bound to do so despite the secrecy that envel oped the wedding. We wish them all the happiness to be found in married life just the same.
