_
The chicken pie supper at the
home of Judge Wilhite , Wednes
day evening , given by the ladies
of the Episcopal church , was a
decided success , there being a
big crowd and plenty to eat.
The ladies realized S19 by their
efforts.
_
The Shakespeare club will
meet with Mrs. Lyford Friday ,
Oct. 18. It is earnestly requested -
I ed that all members be present
as the ladies wish to decide
upon the play to be taken up
for the winter.
A Love Feast.
How well pleased all will be
to knoiv that the Reavis-Martin
fend is at last settled. It is
hard to believe but we konw it
to be the truth , as Judge Isham
lleavis and family and IIou.
Francis Martin and family were
seen dining together at the
same table , the lamily table , at
the National Hotel last Sunday ,
.ind from the animated con.
versation and their illuminated
countenances , everyone was
convinced that peace had been
restored. It is rumored that J.
H. Miles had tipped the waiter
with a dollar to bring about this
state of affairs though we can
hardly believe that , but how
ever , the tragedy is over , the
curtains drawn , and they "will
live happy ever after. " Surely
the "lion and the lamb shall lie
down together. " We wonder ,
is the lamb on the inside ?
The Count Goes On.
Another of young Martin's rec
ords has been counted and again
he I has made an estimate , and
again is the mistake ( ? ) in his fa
vor. In the case of Shnmpton vs
Gist the reformer represented
that he had copied 83,000 words
and received payment for that
number. The record contains
but 72,453 words. So far but
four of these records have been
counted and the record to date is
as follows :
Words in Record Words paid for
Wilsie case 95,952 1-15,000
Miles case 25,167 32,000
Brcniger 10,120 36,000
Gist case 72,453 83,000
Making ; an overcharge of 76-
308 words.
More confidence would be had
for the young man if in his esti
mates he had ever made a mis
take against himself.
If a man would sell you a load
of corn , charging you for fifty
bushels when m it contained but
thirty , wh.it would you call the
fellow who sold it ?
Won Medal.
The Richardson county conven
tion of the W. 0. T. U. con
vened in Dawson last Wednes
day and conducted a very inter
esting meeting.
A special feature of the even
ing session was an oratorical
contest between six contest
ants , among the number being
Louise Rule of this city , uho
wpn first place , the prize being
a beautiful silver medal. This
entitles her to the privilege of
competing for the gold medal in
the state contest. This is the
first attempt made by Louise ,
and she should feel proud , as
all her friends do , ol her suc
cess.
Concert A Success.
The concert given at the Ger
man hall last Monday evening.
br the blind born brother and
sister , Louis and Barbara Trem-
mel , proved very enjoyable to the
large crowd present. The flute
and zither music was especially
fine , and proved them masters of
these instruments.
After the concert a general
good time was the order and
when all left for their homes it
was with the feeling that they
had spent a verj pleasant even
ing.
Glad They Are Alive
D.W. Reid and wife of tins city

from Omnha , which was wrecked
near Union lust Thursday. While
they were not injured , aside from
a good shaking up , they have not
yet recovered from their fright.
After viewing the wreck they came
to the conclusion that this is a
pretty good old world after nlnnd )
are mighty glad they are alive.
Grandma Dunn Injured.
Word was received this week

Last Sunday she was visiting at
the home of her son , -Ira Dunn ,

the porch steps , slipped and fell

Farewell Sermon.
That Rev. Cline is leaving
many warm friends in Falls City
was evidenced by the crowd that
filled the M. E. church Sunday to
listen to the farewell sermon of
this able man. It was a
scholarly address , but through it
all was a vein of sadness caused
by-the thought of the separation
to come.
It is seldom one finds , a min
ister so universally liked , both in
and out of his church , and all re
gret to see him go , yet the good
that he has done in our midst
will remain as a monumint to his
mejnory. Good luck go with
