Mr. and Mrs. Ralph V. Thurston, who were united in marriage at Knoxville, 
Tenn., September 6th inst., arrived in Payette Sunday morning.  They will

who are delighted to extend their hearty good wishes to the happy young couple.

This evening at 9 o'clock at the Church street M. E. church, South, the

The wedding ceremony will be performed by Rev. George R. Stuart, D. D., pastor 
of the church, and the nuptial music will be furnished by Prof. Frank Nelson.

Kennedy, as maid of honor.  Mr. Gus Aston, of Virginia, uncle of the bride, 
will serve as best man.  The ushers will be Messrs. John M. Allen, Jr., Irvin 
Saxton, Howard McCulley and Granvil Kennedy, brother of the bride.
 
The bride will enter the church with her father who will give her in

tulle veil will be worn and which will form the train.  She will carry a 
shower of brides roses and swansonia.

blue taffeta and trimmings of pink rosebuds.  Her flowers will be Killarney

their future home.  The bride's going away gown is of blue taffeta with 
accessories in harmony.
