Cupid’s darts are flying about with
out leave or apology and piercing tbe
hearts of numerous “victims.” Among
those entering tbe matrimonial cov
enant are some of the prominent
young folks of the community. This
morning at the Methodist church was
celebrated the wedding of Mr. Merritt
J. Martin and Miss Clyda Lakey, two
well known O’Neill young people.
The groom is the eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. Bennett Martin and is well
known throughout this community as
a man of exempliary habits. He is
at present located at Douglas, Wyo.,
where he holds a responsible position.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William Lakey of the Dewey
hotel, this city. They departed on
the 9:40 train for a visit in tbe eastern
part of the state and in Iowa. They
will be at home at Douglas after
June 15.
It is stated the business men of
Chambers would .not al low bills to be
posted in that town announcing a
coming attraction at O’Neill, regard
ing the said attraction as “an O’Neill
graft.” Of course this is very amusing
to O’Neill people and demonstrates
how far petty prejudices may at times
be carried. We never deny Chambers
or any other town in the county any
such courtesies as helping to advertise
their attractions and don’t intend to.
The newspapers of O’Neill are often
asked to publish notices of coming
events at Chambers and other towns
and so far as this paper is concerned
always complies with the request be
cause we believe it benefits the com
munity interested and whatever bene
fits one section of the county in a sense
helps the whole county. Of course in
this instance it is nothing to O’Neill
one way or another whether Chambers
refused or permitted the posting of
the bills. _
Hiram G. Hokgkin, one of the early
settlers of the Leonie neighborhood
and all around substantial citizen of
the county, departed this life on Fri
day last after a brief illness, at the
age of sixty-eight years, two months
and twelve days. The funeral was
held on Tuesday at the Marquerte
Chapel, Rev. Dr. Caldwell preaching
the sermon and other local ministers
of the communiry assisting In the
services. Many O’Neill citizens went
out to attend the funeral and partici
pate in the last sad rites over the re
mains of one of our best citizens. The
funeral was perhaps the most largely
attended of any ever held in that com
munity. The deceased was a native
of Vermont, where he was born on
March 7,1838, but had long been a re
sident of this county. The deceased
had not enjoyed the best of health for
some time, suffering from rheumatism,
but was about his usual duties until
last Saturday morning, when he was
taken seriously 111 and died that even
ing at 6:30. The immediate cause of
death, as stated by the attending
physician, Dr. E. T. Wilson, was cere
bral hemorrhage.
