HARRIED THURSDAY
H. Ii. VERMOUUION AND MISS VIO>
liA SBOTH WERE MARRIED
AT HOMB OF BRIDE
»\
On Thnraday, March 11. X* 20, on- cured the ntarriage ot MUa Viola Smith, the beautiful and popular daughter pf Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Ha¬ mer of oor city and Mr. Howard L. VermillloB of  Cleveland,  Ohio.
In aatleipatlon of the happy event the, bride's aunt had aent from Los Angeles. CaL. great «mautiea of ° amilax, terns and pepper berriea with' whieh to decorate the -rooma. Our citir tloriat, aaalated by the girl frienda i>f the bride, decorated an arch aeToaa a comer of tbe enormous living room of the Hamer home.
For a nnmber of years the bride faaa belonged to a select club called "The Bubbles," and is much liked by her many friends. It waa her wish to have these girls for her attendants at her wedding, but aa two ot the number were unable to be present, other friends assisted and helped to make the wedding one ot the most elaborate ever  held  In  Flora.
At one o'clock Miss Ruth Reaugh at the piano, struck the first notes of the Mendelssohn wedding march. Misa Mary Kaehrofske opened a door and the Miaaea Miriam Sapp of Springfleld, Doria Simpson, Sylvia Riggle and Jean Sonthwlek entefed and passed to the arch taking up gar lands of fems and tbe pepiier berries and formed a bower. Mrs. Harold Hogan opened another door and the Rev. R. A. Belton ot Virden, III., paaaed through the bower. He was followed by Mr. Warren Smith, beet Aaaa, and thea the groom. The brides ^maid. Miss Marie Leavitt ot Sailor Springs, eame next, followed by Miss Biille Friend of Champaign, maid of honor. Then came the bride on the arm of her brother, Hr. Paul Smith of Chicago. Rev. Belton always ex¬ cellent, fairly outshone hjmselt in the beautiful and impressive ring ceremony and mauy compliments were heard on every hand.
The bride was gowned In white baronette satin with pearl trimmings and wore a rope of pearls and car¬ ried a ahower ot bridal roses. Her veil with the orange blossoms made her a beautiful pletnre, which no one I. could see and ever forget. The girl attendanta all wore either pinjk or irhlte georgette and earried bouaneta of roses.
The weddiilg breakfaat ot creamed ehicken in pattiea, mashed iratatoes and gravy, -salad, het rolls, coffee, pink aad while- iee oream and white cake waa aerved by a oommittee from -the. M. B. Aid aociety and when we aay that, then everybody knowa it moans the breakfast waa perfect in overy particular.
The preaenta were cut-glass, elec¬ tric novelties and mneh silver In the bride's  seleebsd pattern.
Tbe bri(^had intimated that they were to leave at midnight for tbeir new home In Cleveland, but the youag gueats at the wedding^decided not to be caught napping and pro- euring. about one hundred pounds of Tice proceeded to the atation In time for No. 1 to St. Lonis. When the bri¬ dal pair at ths last moment made a' rush' for the parlor* car, the rice and confetti proved to them that their friends were intent on giving them a good send-off. In fact one ot the passengers remarked that "they mnst be a very popniar cou¬ ple to have snch a send-oft."
Mrs. Vermillion will be missed in the Eastern Stor and in the several clubs  to which  she belonged.
We join the many friends ot Hr. and Mrs. Vermillion In wishing them a happy and proaperona voyage throngh their married life, and all Joy In  their new home.
.The out ot town gaeate were Mrs. V. Eickert, grandmother of the bride of Los Angeles, Cal.. Paul Smith ot Chleago, O. A. Hamer of St. Louis, Mrs. Fred Croft ot Cleveland. Ohio, Hrs. W. J. Fagan of Odin, Hiss Zoe Friend and Hiss Billie Friend of Champaign, Miss Marie Leavitt of Sailor Springs, Miss Miriam Sapp of (Springfleld. ¦

Last week's Newton Press con- tolked a write-up of the basket ball tournament held at Olney, given by Ek>yce E. Powell, Newton'a baaket baU expert. Mr. Powell alao picka an AU-Stor team and a aeeond team, three Flora boya getting poaitlons on the two teaoMh ^.
Foltowlng la ' the write-up and team selections:
Having witnesaed and oBiClated la auj^y basket ball games in this dis¬ tant and In other districto, it Is now av purpose to pick an all-star team ttam the Southeastern District ot IIHnois, and after watching the tour¬ nament I find sufficient material to p^k one wholly trom those compet¬ ing at Olney.
For the flrat team on forwards, I select Chaltant ot Oblong and Baylee of Lawrencevllle. Chaltant was the mainstay of the Oblong team, show- lag in all his games that no guard eould stop bim. Many times with two men on his back, he would come out tiom boneath and register a basket. Styles of Lawrenceviile Is picked for hM running mate, showing in the gMiea ot Carmi and especially the Oikey game that he had the stuff for an all-stor team. In the Olney Mrtne, he showed his metal by reg- Inering ten hasketo oft of the strong Olaey guards. x
On the second team for forwards', I wonld pick King of Mt. Carmel and Hughes ot Palestine, who made tt pos slble for their respective teams to win. Both ot these fellows easily get tkeir places on the second team. Oth- eM who need mention are Weber of Olney, Corbin of Newton and Taylor ot Robinson.
For the place at Center, I pick wtth out question Stillwell ot Olney and pik him as eaptoln of the team. In the district, no team has produced a center who could eome up with him.
For second team at Center, I W(iald pick Taylor of Flora, who akiwed in the Olney and Robinson gapies. Of othen wbo deserve men¬ tion thero Is Brumer ot Palestine.
For the plaoe of running guard, I think It best to go out of the regular plajring position and pick a forward for this place and therefore take Duff of Flora torihe place. He Is as a forward very hard to guard and on the defensive he was tound to be hard to get around. As for the other go^^rd, I wonld pick Lusk ot Flora,
* ta my eatlmatlon ia beyond a ilotlkt the best guard In the distriet. For'S|scond team, I wonld pick Colll- flower of Htttaonvllle and Roberts ot Olney.
As to the team playing the best ball during the tournament, it goes to Oblong and the individual stor of the tournament it is also given to Oblong in Chaltant. For record of free pitches. Adama of Newton leads with eigkt out ot nine throws. All-star Team Fint Team

HAVB OONB TOO FAR
Bitter crltlclam ot tke recent bas¬ ket ball tournament held at Olney by two newspai>era ot the district has caused Olney to flght back and In tke tollowiag article trom Tneaday's Olnay Dally Mall, Bditor Yount calla tor a skew down on the charges. The editor of.tbe Record Is not directly Interested tn the eontroveny, but we do love elean, manly athletlca, and in the best Interesta ot all high schools concemed we trust this mat¬ ter may be looked into and If the Olney high aehool authorities ara crooked, tkey akould be condemned and withdrawn frpm. If they are ad¬ judged not guilty then their accus- en owe the Olney high school author ities  a   public  apology.
Below is the Datly Mall article: It'a Time to Halt This
Irresponaible  Lying
High aehool athletic sports must be on a plane that Improvea youth, or It Is going to be ralegated to a back   seat  or  eliminated  altogther.
The late baaket ball touraament at Olney was a demonstration of clean 'and wholesome sport, actually. It was free from ill-nature, It show¬ ed what the boys ean do under train¬ ing. It increased school spirit in 1( schools.
The tournament Itaelf waa what It should have been and waa. worth¬ while.
Two newpapera have seen tit to He about the tournament, conveying to their readers by an Infamous fa¬ brication the idea that the tourna¬ ment was conducted dishonestly.
People In Olney do not have to be raassured. Neither do the membera of the sixteen visiting teami| and the supporten who accompanied them, have to be told that talrnesa. ruled and that stories told In the Oblong Oraele and the Flora Journal ara the mlaerable prodneta ot childish and delinquent  minds.
The tact ramains, however, that many people are misled by the pub¬ lication and rapubllcatton of these false statements and some action Is needed to put an end to them.
The reflection on the Prinoipal, Coach and Sehool officials of Olney ie direct.
Principal Hostettler kas a clear duty befora klm.
Let him inquira of thq officials o( the' Oblong and Flora' schools wheth¬ er the publications In their newspa¬ pers represent the feeling ot their school officials and their teams.
If they do not, let the principals of Oblong and Flora say so.
If they do. It Is the manifest duty ot Principal Hostettler to sever ath¬ letic relations with those schools.
He should do this for the salva¬ tion of inter-sehool sports In this distriet. s   ,.'-••
NEED OF HUMANE SOCIETY
One more organisation Flora needs Is.a Humane Society or a city ordin¬ ance. In three Instances ' last week witnessed by prominent citizens horses were overloaded even tor passable roads and beaten and tor¬ tured In a manner to horrid for des¬ cription., entreating or threats were ridiculed by ' the drivers. The on- looken were powerless to stop the brutal treatment.
The residents ot northeaat Flora are more thoroughly aroused and some action Is necessary. A society for prevention of cruelty should be effected or some means taken to pre¬ vent such occurrences as took place on North Sycamora street twice the paat week.
