Will Make Home in South
To properly round out the old
year. Palmer Applegate and Miss
Mary Austin, a very popular young
couple of Union, took the morning
train for Omaha and while there se
cured a marriage license, and were
united in holv wedlock. Thev spent
the day in Omaha, taking the late
Missouri Pacific train for the south,
passing through Union about mid
night enroute to their new home at
Minden, Louisiana. Many of their
friends in Union turned out at the
station to greet them with old shoes
and rice, notwithstanding the high
cost of living, but the young people,
who had to travel all night, had re
tired before reaching Union, ami the
porter of the sleeping car which the
newlyweds occupied, refused to even
think of awaking them for the hilar
ious greetings which might have so
easily been theirs.
The young couple will make their
home in the south, where the groom
is engaged in driving a truck for an
oil refinery. The Journal joins their
many friends here in extending con
gratulations and good wishes to Mr.
and Mrs. Applegate and hopes that
their sorrows may be few, and that
their joy and prosperity may come
lully up to the scriptural measure.

Methodist Church Notes
Last Sunday was a good day at
this church. Ten persons were re
ceived into the church, nine by bap
tism and one by letter. We think
this is but the beginning of a larger
movement on the part of many peo
ple in the community to find a church
home with us. We want our church
work to be broad and comprehen
sive enough to attract to its fellow
ship all those who love God and de
sire to follow Jesus Christ. We be
lieve we have largely outlived the
day of religious dogmas that keep
ns divided into small groups, in
more or Lss antagonism to each
other.
The Sunday school under the new
leadership of Mr. D:r!o Boyles, start
ed oir witn spienuui promise. It is
a fine sight to see young business
men alligning themselves thus with
Christian work.
We are to have an unusually good
picture entertainment on the even
