DUNLAP - RHONE.

  Last Friday forenoon the present writer chanced to be in Harrisburg on 
business, and naturally enough, drifted into the office of Dairy and Food 
Commissioner James Foust.  There was a subdued air of excitement and 
pleasurable anticipation about the office force that rather surprised the 
visitor.  In a few minutes, however, the mystery was cleared up by the 
assembling of the force in Commissioner Foust's office, whereupon, in a very 
neat speech that gentleman announced that Miss May V. Rhone, a member of the 
staff for the past fifteen years, had tendered her resignation and would 
leave at noon of that day.  In view of her efficient service and the 
friendly relations that had always existed between the lady and her 
associates, it was a pleasure to present her with a small token of regard 
and appreciation.  Whereupon he handed her a very handsome sugar bowl and 
cream pitcher, which she accepted in a very brief reply.
  Now, the visitor did not know why Miss Rhone had resigned but he had 
suspicions and these were confirmed when he received a telegram last evening 
containing the information that she had at 10.30 o'clock that morning, in 
the city of Newport, Ky., become the bride of the Rev. Dr. W. C. Dunlap, 
pastor of the First Lutheran church, of Louisville, Ky.  Miss Rhone is a 
native of Centre county, a daughter of the late Leonard Rhone, prominent in 
Grange circles, and long a resident of Centre Hall, where his daughter 
continued to make her home until her marriage.  She is a cultured lady and 
will adorn the new station which she is to fill.  Dr. Dunlap is also a 
native of Centre county.  In fact, he and Miss Rhone were schoolmates and it 
is believed that their marriage is the realization of a youthful dream of 
both.  They will reside in Louisville.  The Tribune joins their friends in 
wishing them a long and happy union.
