    One of the prettiest home weddings ever solemnized in Rossville took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Wilt, Tuesday evening, April 16th, when Miss Fannie Louise became the wife of Clarence H. Silvers, Rev. C.B. Chatfield, pastor of the Presbyterian church, officiating using the ring service. The bride and groom entered the parlor to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Mary Chatfield and were preceded first by the Misses Doris Jamieson, Mabel Binns, Irene Howard, Ruby Wilt and Clara Wilt, nieces of the bride, as ribbon bearers, with Mrs. Chas. Ross and Miss Marie Hamilton, of Topeka, as attendants. They marched down the ribboned aisle to the west end of the room, standing in front of a beautiful back-ground of ferns and potted plants where the mystic words were spoken that binds them together while life lasts. Miss Arline Wilt, a niece of the bride's, carried the ring in the heart of a white rose; she handed the ring to the groom, who placed it on the finger of his bride, then followed a song by Mrs. Violet McCoy.

    The bride wore a dress of white silk, an overdress of embroidered net and the groom wore the conventional black.

    Miss Fannie is one of the most lovable girls we ever met, always smiling, a kind greeting for all her friends taking a deep interest in everything that tends to make one better, therefore happier and the groom is a substantial farmer, well liked and a man of well known honor and integrity. What more can one say?

    Miss Mabel Binns presided over the punch bowl, in the dining room, to which the guests repaired after congratulations and drank to the health of the newly wedded couple and a luncheon of ice cream and cake was served. It was a little hour when the happy throng wended their ways homeward, wishing them much happiness. They will reside on the groom's farm, south east of town. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. T.E. Reinhart, Mrs. Emma Ellis, Mr. Emmett Silvers, Mr. Frank Silvers, Mrs. Chas. Ross, Miss Marie Hamilton, Rev. and Mrs. Chatfield and family, Mr. and Mrs. D. Wilt, Mrs. E. Silvers and daughter Anna, Mr. and Mrs. E.D. Hartzell, Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Cless, Editor and wife, Mrs. Violet McCoy, Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. R.L. Wilt and family, Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Jamieson and family, Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Wilt, Mrs. Bradford Miller, Mr. and Mrs. E.J. Howard and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. I.B. Wilt and family and Mr. and Mrs. F.N. Binns and daughter.

    Mr. Albert Reser and Mrs. Fannie Silvers were married the first of the week and will spend a short honeymoon at Excelsior Springs, Mo., according to town gossip this week. Relatives were unable to furnish any particulars and the Reporter in presenting the report is undecided whether to offer congratulations or to prepare to apologize for printing a premature announcement of this expected event.
