NKWfiV WKDDKD PAIRcjkts \oisyThe arrival of the Parragut was I heralded by the blowing of whistles, j ringing ot bells. firing of guns and j the sound of other noise producing instruments which led the uninitiated i to believe that—maybe—the presi-jdent of the Unitecl States was aboard. .The launch Mary Lee, from the Granby mine, loaded with passengers, and decorated with flags oozed noise from stem to stern as she circled about the incoming steamer.When the gang-plank was in place and the passengers disembarked, a tall young man. accompanied by an attractive young lady, were the recipients of unusual attention. Showers of rice flew in every direction, covering the couple with a coating of white.The mystery was explained. The noisy and enthusiastic reception was the welcome extended by the townspeople to Palmer J. Cook, foreman of the Oranby mine, and his bride, and if noise is any indication, Mr. and Mrs. Cook are surely popular. As the bridal pair walked down the plank the steamer whistle joined in the din and the happy couple made a hurried escape from the wharf.Mr. and Mrs. Cook had kept the fact thfet they were newly wedded from the people on the boat, and the greeting of the steamer was a mystery to the officers and crew until the shower of rice, old boots, etc.. commenced to appear.*The couple will make their home across the bay, where Mr. Cook is foreman for the Grand? mine.
