V.i fiOfc. THE COCONINO SUN THURSDAY, 'FEBRUAHY 21', 1007 WILLIAMS ITEMS SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE 5V II 1 'f i A more, charming and elaborate wedding has not been the pleasure of William society to witness than was the occasion which united in matrimony Mr. James S. Hogue and Miss Eliza Mclntire, both of this city, on last Thursday evening, February 14, St. Valentine's day.

The beautiful bride was gowned in a delicate white, with a train of of deep rich veiling, which hung neatly from a beautiful wreath of flowers placed at the head and streaming over the shoulders to the floor, while the groom wore a rich black evening dress suit. The best man and lady were dressed to correspond and the occasion was made one of brilliancy and mirth. The wedding ceremony was pronounced by Rev. David Roberts, at the home of the bride's mother, promptly at 8:30 o'clock, after which those present, comprising only the near lriends and relatives of the' bride and groom, partook of the wedding feast and extended their best wishes for the happiness and prosperity of the happy couple, departed for their several homes. The usual "tin-can brigade" paid its noisy visit later in the evening and Jim was shy a few "bucks" when he had finished with them.

This, however, was only to be followed up by a number of charming ladies who had not forgotten the number, as scarcely did the'echosof the battered pans fade away behind "Old Ben Williams" when the shrill whistles of tin horns and "gruesome" sound awakened the fact within the household that an other speech was in order by the groom, which he did in his usual clever manner by inviting the score of feminine charms within the spacious dining room, where, after participating in a like manner of the hospitalities afforded them, congratulated the bride and groom, departed gleefully, feeling that they had received in return all the honors capable of being bestowed at their hands. And now it was, that at about the hour of 1 1 o'clock (and, by the way, the usual hour for this bunch of Night-Owls to make their appearance), the K. of P. band struck up a very appropriate selection, entitled, as near as we can recall it, "Serenade the Honeymoon." Here it was that Jim had gotten at his best and fairly delivered, extemporaneously, a speech that "You never heard," and "Neither did the boys," but we will say from the information at hand that' Jim did express his highest appreciation of the courtesies which had been extended him in honor of the greatest event of his life, and said he was glad that this occasion only happened once in a life-time; but it's all over now, and we wish the happy couple every blessing that life can bestow in their happy union together on earth. The new copper wire being strung by the Western Union Telegraph company from San Francisco to Chicago, was brought up at this point on last Friday.

The line gang comprises tiuite a number of men and are stringing the wire-tovard Chicago as rapidly as possible, owing to the immediate necessity of more through wires to handle the large volume of commercial business now being offered. Mrs. G. V. Hoopengarner and son, Guy, went to the Canyon on Friday last for' a few days' stay with Mrs.

J. R. Smith, who is quite ill. J. E.

Gilson, while engaged one day last week at his work in the woods south of town, suddenly disappeared from the sight of his companion, C. Coker, and after several minutes search was found where he had last been seen, lying upon the ground wholly unconscious and bleeding freely at the nostrils and consciousness was not regained until after nearly an hour's frantic work over the life less form by Mr. Coker. The ause proved to be heart trouble, and after a few hours' of complete rest at home he was able to resume his dijties again. Ex-Constable Chas.

II. Adams has accepted a position at Grand Canyon as assistant electrician at the Electric Light plant of that place and left Monday to assume his duties. Charlie, having a prominent part in the K. of P. band, as tuba player, will be greatly missed by his musical followers, but it is hoped he may at an early date again change his location to Williams and harmony among the boys will reign supreme.

Grand Canyon Lodge, No. 14, Knights of Pythias, of Williams, will, on Thursday evening, February 21, give a social and banquet at the I. O. O. F.

hall for. the Knights and their ladies, in honor of the Pythian anniversary of the order. Joe's opening on Thursday night was certainly a howling success and everybody in attendance report the time of their lives and nobody went thirsty. The gay crowd dispersed at 2 a. m.

Mrs. N. R. Graham, who has been visiting with 1 datives and friends at Redondo, for the past month, returned home Thurs day evening much benefited by the trip. Wm.

Kay and wife were in from their ranch Friday; also C. E. McGary and wife transacted business in the metropolis. Henry L. Aphold has moved into his newly built cottage on the hill and he nosv assumes the airs of a millionaire.
