In this case are periods after the initials.] The wedding took place at 8 o'clock and was witnessed by many friends of the young couple, the house being tastefully decorated with evergreens and lillies. As the bride entered on the arm of her cousin, Schiller B. Hermann, Mrs. Hermann played the wedding march, Mendolsohn's, and when the bride reached the arch under which the ceremony was performed, she was met by Leonard W. Traver, who was attended by George L. Ferry. Preceeding her were Kattie [print] Border and Hattie Ferry, who acted as flower bearers, followed by little Florence Hermann, bearing the wedding ring on a silver tray. As the young couple stood beneath a floral arch, Rev. W. Horsfall, of Marshfield, pronounced the beautiful ceremony which made them one, and during the ceremony Mrs. Hermann softly played the wedding march on the piano. The bride was attired in white satin trimmed in white chiffon, which had a pretty effect, and carried a bunch of orange blossoms. Her bridesmaid was Miss Leila Border who was dressed in white organdie. The groom was becomingly attired in a conventional black suit. The ushers were Chat [sp?] Huling and Bert Black. The bride and groom were the recipients of many pretty and useful presents. Mr. Traver is one of the excellent young men of Coos county, and is at present engaged as bookkeeper in S. B. Hermann's merchandise store, where he is gaining for himself a good name. Miss Eva Border is one of the popular young ladies of Myrtle Point. Miss Border, now Mrs. Traver, is worthy the highest commendation, and Mr. Traver may feel proud that one so worthy has accepted his hand. The happy couple have the best wishes of a host of friends who extend congratulations and wish them many a happy day. Mr. and Mrs. Traver will leave for Portland Monday on their wedding tour and on their return will reside at this place. + = Lhc Tot-MP boomer misc-word environments MPE 12 June 29, 1900 One of Coos County's finest towns is Myrtle Point. It nestles on the bank of the Coquille River, in the center of the most productive, T prosperous and beautiful portion of the Coquille valley. It is a distributing point and always will be for the North, South, East, and Middle Forks of the Coquille river and the Johnson creek and Sixes mining districts, which embraces a vast era [sic] of country. While most towns are entirely dependent on some manufacturing or other like institution, Myrtle Point continually advances and upbuilds as a result of its natural advantages and resources, which are the very best backing a town can have. Thus favored by geographical location, it is only a question of a little time, when the chief manufacturing institutions of the county will also center at this place. The town already can boast of the most substantial and modern business houses, churches and school buildings in the county, while it [sic] residences and homes are well appointed and well kept. Our people are progressive and hospitable; in fact Myrtle Point is an ideal town and its people ought to be, and doubtless are, well satisfied with their environments.

When the families of the happy couple assembled in the front room, which was tastefully decorated with ferns, honeysuckles, margareets [sic] and white lillies, the attendants, Miss Erma Lukens and Mr. Alf Johnson, entered. Then Mr. Drane came forward with the bride leaning upon his arm and presented her to the manly groom, and there under a large fern bell, the happy pair listened to the solemn and beautiful ceremony which made them man and wife, which was performed by Rev. E. L. Fitch. The bride wore an exquisit [sic] dress of white silk entrain and that enhancer of every womanly charm, the bridal veil, and carried white roses. After the ceremony those present were invited to the dining room where a dainty wedding supper was served. Between 11 and 12 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Johnson left for their new home, which was previously furnished for them. On their departure the happy assemblage extended to them rice, shoes and good wishes.

We think wonders when we see a man walk a rope. But this is the first time the people of San Francisco have ever seen a dog walk a rope. We must give Prof. Hunt much credit as a dog trainer, for the little pets go at their work as if it were play for them, not like lots of dog acts that have been seen here, where they were made to do what little they could with a whip. To see Prof. Hunt's dogs act is like your [print] seeing children play, and the little fellows do more and harder tricks than any trained dogs that have visited the amusement-going public of this city."
