Times: We hate a grouch. Darn a man who is always kicking growling and making life a hell for himielf and all others with whom he comes In contact. Every town in the country has one or mor& grouches. This town has them. We have in mind one man who hates him self to the extent that be makes life miserable for himself, his neighbors and family. The only time he seems to be at all satisfied is when he Is asieep, and even then we will wager he is having bad dreams. He is one of those guys who wilt get up in the morning and commence by kicking over the breakfast table. He will come down town and raise hell with bis help and keep Hs ugly temper go ing all day with one continual round or cursing, kicking and finding fault. It has always been a mystery to us how such men can prosper, and yet he seems to. He does a fairly good bus iness, even though his patrons have to grit their teeth to go near him. He hollers if you present a bill and if you don’t present It. He objects to do nating to public spirited enterprises and he kicks if the town does not pro gress. He Is one of the mean, coo temptabte parasites whom nothing pleases. Darn a grouch, anyway. Donohoe-Brennan. A very pretty wedding was solemn ized at the Catholio church last Wednesday morning when Rev Fath er O’Sullivan performed the ceremony that united Edward Donohoe of Stuart to Miss Nellie Brennan of this city, In the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends of the con tracting parties. The bride was attended by Miss Dorothy Testman of Grand Island while John Brennan, brother of the bride, officiated as groomsman. After the ceremony the young coup le repaired to the splendid home of the brides parents where the wedding guests partook of a splendid wedding breakfast, after which they left on the Northwestern train for an extended wedding tour, visiting Ohicago, Min neapolis, St. Paul and other cities along the great lakes. The groom was born and raised at Creighton, Neb., where his family have lived for the past thirty years. He is a young man of splendid bus iness ability and has for the past two months been employed as bookeeper for the Krotter Lumber company at Stuart. Last week he purchased a lumber yard at Ainsworth and in that city the young couple will make their future home. The bride is one of O'Neill’s fairest daughters who was born and raised here. She is the daughter of Col. and Mrs. Neil Brennan and is well known and loved for her sweet disposition and charming personality, and the best wishes of the people of this city accompany her and her busbabd and hope that the future for them will contain nothing but happiness.
