Strangely Reunited
A romance in real life of an unusual
nature has came into the life of Miss
Beulah Hall of this city whereby she
found a sister whose whereabouts have
been unknown since infancy Miss
Alice Weaver of Mattoon 111 came to
this county some days ago to visit with
-friends near Bladen and it was while go
ing through a photograph album that
she discovered the picture of Miss Hall
and was at once struck by the great re
semblance it bore to herself She knew
she had had a sister when she was a
child so she accordingly made inquiry
and learned facts that led her to believe
she was on the right track though she
had no thought of such good fortune
when she came west Miss Hall was
sent for and went to Bladen their stories
were soon told and the past was all made
clear with the result that the two sisters
were happily reunited When Miss Hall
whose real name is Weaver was two
weeks old her mother died and she was
taken to Illinois to live with an aunt
Since that time the interested parties
have changed locations several times
and as no correspondence was continued
all trace of the different factors in the
drama was lost to each other Their
reunion was one of those peculiar coin
cidences which are so strange and un
accountable Red Cloud Argus

he will sell you for 165 the best piano

Will Support McCooks Effort
McCook is moving in the matter of
securing a beet sugar factory Now we
are persuaded that with a united effort
on the part of farmers and businessmen
of the southwestern part of the state it
is possible the scheme may prove suc
cessful The trouble will be disagree
ment as to location We are frank to
say that we see no reason why this town
would be injured at all It is simply
out of the question for Indianola to
secure the factory but the closer it is
the better Therefore the proposition
to build the factory at McCook has
the support of this paper Indianola
