Weeks-Barraolougfh. Wedding1,
The Barraclough home 011 cast
Fourth street was the scene Wed
nesday evening ol a very pretty
wedding. The bride and groom
were Miss Etta Barraclough and
Mr. Edward Weeks. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. G. A.
Bcechcr. About sixty guests, rela
tives and intimate friends of the
bride and groom, were present.
The bride's gown was a very hand
some tailormade costume of tan
cloth. The maid ot honor was Miss
Lillie Freeman, a cousin of the
bride. The groom was attended
by Mr. Albert Babbitt. The entire
house was very prettily decorated
with potted plants and cut flowers.
After the ceremony an elaborate
wedding supper was served. Mr.
and Mrs. Weeks were the recipients
of many handsome presents. For
the present they arc at home at the
Hotel Neville but they will leave in
a short time for the west.
The bride is the oldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Barraclough
and has spent all of her life in
North Platte. She is a very estim
able 3'oung lady possessed of many
fine traits. The groom, who is the
oldest sou of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Weeks, has also grown up in North
Platte. Until recently he was n
boilcrmakcr in the employ of the
Union Pacific, having learned his
trade here. He is a flue, straight
forward young man and both the
bride and himself have hosts ol
friends with whom The Triiiukb
unites in wishing them a long life
replete with happiness and.
prosperity.
Entertained at Cards.
"Cinque," a card game very
similar to regular high-five, was
lljt. Hill U 0.lll VII b tWUlMlW (L k. II -ftfclkf I
given Wednesday evening by Mr.
and. Mrs, Sam'l Goozee, and it!
proved a most enjoyable game to
the fourteen or sixteen couples
present. The partners in the game
were selected by means of uncom
pleted quotations written on slips
of paper, the gentleman seeking for
lus partner Hie lady having the
sequel to that written on his slip.
As the quotations were laminar
this required but a brief time. The
guests proved a most conceniel
crowd, and this with the hospitality
displaypd by the host and hostess
made the aifair a very pleasant and
successful one. At the close ol
about a dozen games a three-course
collation of salad, wafers, coffee,
ice cream, cake and salted almonds
and confections were served. Thi
latter feature was none the less en
joyable than the card games. In
entertaining Mr. and Mrs. Goozee
were assisted by tlieir daughter
Miss Mabel and Misses Jessie
Bratt, May Walker and Ruth Pat
terson. Exhibit of School Work.
An exhibit of the work of the cily
schools is being made at the high
school building. Yesterday the
exhibits were made at the various
school rooms and they were visited
by quite a number of the patrons.
Quite a number of the rooms were
very nicely decorated with potted
plants. The teachers were all on
duty to give tlieir visitors anjt. In
formation they desired concerning
the work. The exhibit taken as a
whole is certainly a very creditable
one and shows that the pupils of
the schools have accomplished
much although the work has been
hampered by many difficulties. In
some of the rooms very daintily
decorated covers were used but in
the majority ol instances it was
just the plain every day work of
the pupils and one could tell very
readily just how much was accom
plished, Campbell's Show.
The great. Campbell Bros, big
two ring railroad shows will be in
North Platte on May 4th. Look foe
it. Watch for the big street parade
at 10 o'clock a. m. Not a single un
attractive act or feature presented,
We consider that the best is not
good enough for our friends and
patrons. $20,000 troupe of the
greatest performing savage wild
beasts ever gathered and educated
by mortal man. Their startling
and thrilling performances have
never been can never be dupli
cated. Lions, tigers, white bears,
leopards, and German boar hounds
form pyramids, drill and waltz.
Tigers are driven at full speed by a
lion, tigers ride on bicycles and re
volve on rolling globes. They arc
truly tuc wild beast wonders ot the
century.
No other show gives so much and
so good for the money as Campbell
Bros. United Shows. In all the
years since it was first organized it
has never been guilty of one dis
honorable act, or practicing one
imposition on its thousands of
patrons. No gamblers or fakirs
follow this show. You will say for
once in your life you have bccii only
honest men with a big show. An
army of men raise the largest tents
ever in your city, and the wonder
ful discipline of all will call forth
admiration from you. Truly the
discipline and accurate movements
equals that of any company of well
drilled soldiers. Come to the show
grounds early and see the big tents
raised without an oath or vulgar
word.
One ticket admits to all and there
will be no extra charge after you
enter the canvas. You can bring
your wife and child for the same
price of admission you will pay for
one ticket to a show that will not
be otic half so good and grand as
the show we bring to you at a price
so small all can go and enjoy it.
