A delightful wedding reception was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kinginger, of Newaygo, Mich., at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Kinginger, Green street, Nazareth, on Friday evening. About one hundred friends had gathered to extend congratulations and best wishes to the young couple. Mr. Kinginger is a popular and trustworthy young man and holds a fine position as head chemist at the mill of the Gibraltar Cement company, of Newaygo, Mich.

The bride, during her short stay in Nazareth, made many friends, and the young couple have the vest wishes of a host of friends. She was the recipient of many handsome presents.

The Kinginger home was beautifully decorated for the occasion with cut flowers, potted plants and festoons. In receiving the guests the bridal couple stood beneath an arch of Allegheny vines and mistletoe.

CAN EASILY WRITE UPSIDE DOWN

Rev. Austin W. Mann, who conducted the deaf mute service in this city last Thursday, recently married his hundredth deaf mute couple in Cleveland without uttering a single word. Mr. Mann possesses a unique accomplishment. In answering the written questions as to something of his work, Mr. Mann wrote his replies in a clear concise manner, years of practice having made him proficient in this mode of conversation. When writing his replies, he wrote his words upside down so that his "listener," who sat facing him, could read each word as he spelled it out.
