A Pretty Wedding
At the country home of Mrs. Morgan Mollohan, the bride's aunt, Miss Lucy Mollohan and Mr. Ralph Bryan were united in marriage on Tuesday evening, Oct. 20. The ceremony was performed promptly at 8:30 o'clock by Rev. Wharton of the Methodist Church. Only relatives of the bride and groom were present, the guests numbered twenty-four.
The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of cream chiffon, trimmed with baby Irish lace. She carried a shower bouquet of brides' roses. Each guest received one of the roses as a souvenir. Immediately after the ceremony, an elegant four-course supper was served, and after a pleasant social hour, the guests departed to their respective homes.
The bride was born and grew to womanhood in this community, and is a young lady of lovely character and well deserving of the esteem in which she is held by a wide circle of friends. She has for several years past been head saleslady in the dry goods department of The Thompson D.G. Co., where she was most efficient and won the admiration of all by her gracious and pleasing manner.
The groom, a son of Mr. and Mrs. M.S. Bryan, has also grown up in Marion and is one of the town's popular young business men. He is now head of the clothing and furnishings department of The Grand.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan went to housekeeping at once in the home which they had prepared, near the Methodist Church. The RECORD extends congratulations and wishes them a happy future.

New Pipe Organ
A $2000 pipe organ has just been installed in the Methodist Episcopal Church, the first one in town. It was presented by members and friends of the church. Mr. H.M. Thorp started the fund by a gift of $1000 as a memorial to his wife, who was a faithful member of the church. The remainder of the fund was raised by subscription, the Sunday school and many individual giving liberally.
The organ is the Kimball make, two manual and is a very fine instrument, sweet in tone and beautiful in design, the decorations harmonizing with the paper and woodwork.
The organ was first used in the services last Sunday and the large number present greatly appreciated the music as rendered by Mrs. W. R. Oliver.
In the past year the Ladies Aid have provided funds to raise the floor of the main room and for the beautiful new carpet.

The only ones discommoded by the resolution of the banks and business men to prohibit the extensive cashing of checks this week, were some mail-order patrons on one of the rural routes. Trade at home and your checks could and would have been honored without possible inconvenience to anyone.
J.W. Moore returned from Kansas City Sunday after a week of cattle buying. He succeeded in getting about 600 good feeders, and they are now being taken to his ranch. The depressed market condition made cattle a little lower than he had hoped when he left Marion for Kansas City the week previous.
