SURPRISE THEIR MANY FRIENDS
Mr. and Mrs. Copeland Keep Their
Frlentoa Guessing for a
Couple of Months
Ono of the most popular young (Ml
in the city of Alliance is Bates F.
Copeland, proprietor of Copeland'
barber shop, 221 Box Butte Ave., and
by the same token one of the most
popular young ladies is his wife, who
was formerly Miss Verna B. Brown.
saleslady at Thiele's Drug Store
For a long time past it has bem sup
posed by their friends that they
would eventually "tie up" and it lias
been rumored for quite a while thai
the wedding had taken place, but
Bates strenuously denied that any
matrimonial knot had been tied for
him.
However, The Herald had it
straight that he was a married man
and asked him frankly for the par
titulars of the wedding. The happy
event took place October 4, at
Georgetown, Colorado. Miss Brown
had been visiting in Colorado, and
Mates made a trip to that state os
tensibly on a duck hunt and thus
they succeeded in their plan of keep
ing their wedding a secret from their
friends until such a time as they
those to let it be known. They will
l in housekeeping at 405 Toluca
a" ntie, where they will be art home
to their friends after January I.
The Herald extends heartiest con
gratulations and all good wishes vc
can think of for a long and happy
life.

Cash Sale of Omaha Concern Ex
cites Entire Piano Trade.
A strictly cash piano sale was
something unheard of until advertis
ed over the west generally by THE
BENNETT CO., of Omaha. Nebrns
ka, a concern that has become a vir
tual thorn in the side of the ordln
ary "fancy price" piano establish

anos, thus relieving many prominent
manufacturers ol an unparalleled ov

ret among piano people that the re
cent financial flurry, the prevalently
of automobiles, and the ; increased
popularity of player pianos, has can
ed an accumulation of thousands of
new pianos that musi immediately be
turned into cash, no matter how
small the amount.
Knowing the pulse of the piano
trade exactly, Mr. W. M. Robinson.
I manager of the piano department of
THE BENNETT CO.. Omaha. Nebr.,
set out to make some phenomenal
"buys," and has succeeded so well
that BENNETTS are able to offer a
i magnificent, full sized, absolute!) ne
upright piano at $124 cash
j Mt Robinson has come to be
known as America's shrewdest piano
buyer, but. in spite of his large
j deals he always insists upon a
square deal for everybody concerned

THOSE FLORIDA LANDS

purtles, including some- Omaha men,

over all that part of Plorida last
March and who thoroughly under
stands the proposition under which
land and town lots are being sold,
informs us that tin- writer of the ar

some statements that does that
place a great Injustice. Mr. Shields
