WESOOTT'S SONS. PLATTSMOUTII GOOD PLACE TO GET MARRIED. Iowa Couple Drop into Town and Judge Beeson Docs the Rest. j Yesterday afternoon there slipped (into this old town a joyous young couple from our neighboring state who immediately sought the ofliee and services of his honor, Judge A. J. Ros son, of whom they secured a marriage license and had the genial judge per form the ceremony that made them one. They were Rert M. Calley.aged 24, and Miss Maude L. Rradway, of Hastings, Iowa. They are now Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Calley and have re turned to Hastings where they will throw themselves upon the mercies of the bride's parents and ask for giveness and a portion that they may begin life with the joyous New Year as is befitting people of their station. This morning while awaiting their train at the Rurlington station, when asked by a representative of this paper names, the blushing bride had seem ingly forgotten the change of name and probably had not become accus tomed yet to the new estate, and toU us that her name was Rradway, which she hastily corrected by saying Cully with a blush that would luivr put c peony to shame. We rascally re marked that "you have not yet gotten used to the name." She admitted the point, but said "I will soon." Departs for Home Today. J. C. Hanna of Oskaloosa, Iowa, who has been here for some days pa.-t visiting with his son J. K. Hanna and family, and looking after some bus iness matters among them the sale of his farm south of the city, which was elfeeted through the agency of Ceorge L. Farley, the real estate man, de parted for his home this morning, going via Omaha where he will visit the Corn Show for the day. J. K. Hanna and wife and little son accom panied Mr. Ilamna as far as Omaha where they will also visit for the day. Mr. J. K. Hanna will shortly have a sale of his personal property, on the arm just disposed of, but at the present does not know just what he will do in the future. George Barr Some Eetter. (ieorge Rarr who has been sic kfor some time with fever, is reported as showing some slight improvement this morning, though the betterment is very little. His many friends are very glad that the turning point is in sight, ami hope and trust that his improvement from now on may be rapid. It is not expected that he will be able to get out and around again for some time to come. A visit of some of his friends and an effort to cheer him in his sickness would be ap preciated. In Justice Court. This morning Judge M. Archer handed down a decision in the suit which was given suit in his court last Friday, where Mrs. Cert rude H. Morgan was plaintiff, and F. A. Mur phy of Omaha defendant, wherein suit was maintained for a book ac count, contracted when the late F. J. Morgan, husband of Mrs. Mor gan, was engaged in the clothing business.

OUT OF THE FIRE. The fact that the Ledger appears this week is a surprise to all who are acquainted with the circumstances, as the disastrous fire early Monday morning indicated for a w hile that the entire plant would be destroyed, but thanks to the prompt action and muscle of our friends, almost the entire plant was saved and in fair condition, so that with an extraordinary amount of extra work on our part and the fra ternal courtesy of the Plattsmouth News and Journal, The Ledger makes its appearance as usual this week minus the customary amount of local news. The only wonder is that the paper appears at all, and we wish to assure our friends that we appreciate their successful efforts in saving the material and machinery with so little damage to the office eqqipmcnt. We also wish to publicly thank Ftl itor Rarrows and Rates for their gen-crot-ity in telephoning us within a few hours after the lire and offering the use of their pros s or anything else we de sired. We have never followed the "dun- j ning" plan in the paper, but under (the circumstances we feel justified in I asking payment of all accounts due, j especially delinquent subscriptions, as Mt has required some outlay of cash ' to get the ollice in shape and to re place some articles that were destroyed or damaged. We would appreciate it very much if our friends will either call the ollice by telcpnone or hand us i any hems of news. Harry F; Craves, Fditor. Injured While Coasting.
