On Wednesday of last week one of the prettiest weddings of the season occurred at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Crede Harris, four miles southeast of Murray, when their daughter, Lorena, was united in mar riage to Mr. Lee Ferris. Promptly at 2 o'clock the bride and groom entered the parlor followed by the bridal procession consisting of Clint Harris, brother of the bride, and Miss Leona Vallery, Mr. Fox, of Syracuse, and Miss Gertie Kuster holtz, Mr. Copenhaver, of Syracuse, and Miss Mae Wolf. The Rev. M. C. Yey, of Liberty, pronounced the happy couple as one for life, and congratulations of friends and relatives present followed. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white serge trimmed in white satin and applique, while the groom was attired in the conventional black. Miss Har ris is one of the noblest and sweetest types of young womanhood and all who know her love and esteem her. The groom is a young man of noble character, and is highly respected by every one. The happy couple were the recip ients of many very handsome and use ful presents. Those present were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Magney, of Nehawka: Mr. and Mrs. John Ferris, Mrs. Steve Copenhaver, Mr. and Mrs. Dameal, Mr. and Mrs. Chalfman. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. Mr. and Mrs. Crede Harris. Miss Mac Wolfe. Miss Gettie Pusterhol!, Miss Leo'a Vallery, Mr. .Fox, Mr. (Vpenhaver, Miss Ilallie Damcal. Mr. Jack Chalfman and Mr. C!int Harris. The infair dinner was given at the home of the groom's parents, the next day. and there were many friends and relatives in attendance, all of whom expressed their best wishes for the future happiness and prosperity of this most worthy young couple. We are instructed to state from one who was present that Mrs. Ferris had pre pared one of the llnest meals ever spread before a similar gathering for many a day. Mr. and Mrs. Harris will be at home to their many friends after March 1st, six miles southeast of Murray. Church Chimes. A few moments of doubtful pleasure have often resulted in the destruction of a soul. "Taken as a whole we must all go jp or down together," said President Roosevelt in his recent message to congress. Very true, but it is awfully hard going up, when two hundred and fifty thousand licensed saloons are eternally tugging down. Rev. E. G. Hamilton, of Unadilla, continues to preach in the Christian church each evening. lie preaches sound gospel truth, and pleads very earnestly with the unsaved to give their hearts to Christ. "The Christ-rejector must bear his own sins in his own person in the lake of tire forever." A Boston stroet car ollicial says: '"It is impossible to get honest men. and keep them honest, and make them work on the Sabbath." The Christmas entertainment and treat given by the Sunday schools made a very pleasant evening for the people of the community. The child ren performed very nicely while the Christmas tree reavealed some beauti ful presents. The ladies in charge deserve the thanks and commendation of the entire audience. The state of New York once passed a law in the interests of public moral ity that forbade the teaching of danc ing. It was the open Bible that won our naval victories at Manilla and San tiago. How can a man claim to be a good neighbor, w hen he profanes the Lord's holy day and brings evil on the entire community. What was the matter with Santa Claus when he came to the Christmas entertainment on last Saturday eve? Nothing at all, old Santa was all right, but say, wasn't it funny the way he talked to the children without moving his lips? When slavery went down Abraham Lincoln said to one of his officials, the liquor traffic is the next evil that the American people ought to destroy. Hear the following from the United States supreme court: "By the gen eral concurrence of opinion of every civilized and christian community, there are few sources of crime and misery to society, equal to the dram shop, where intoxicating liquors in small quantities, to be drunk at the time, are sold indiscriminately to all parties applying. The statistics of every state show a greater amount of crime and misery attributable to the use of ardent spirits obtained at these retail liquor saloons than to any other source." "Wf live in deeds, not ye:iR: in thoughts, nut lrc;itlis. In feel in its. not in figures on a dial. We should count time by lie;irt throbs, lit" most lives. Wlio thinks most, feels noblest, acts the best." Crisweisser-Wood. The Journal was provided with a full account of the Crisweisser-Wood wedding that was solemnized on Christmas day, but for the want of time and space we are unable to give the matter the proper attention, therefore we are compelled to let it lay over until our next issue.

Of the .".I.cmkmmki onh is issued during the year but one in b;;. L't'iO was found to have been paid er repaid incorrectly. A new money or der blank is to be introduced in the service before the close of the fiscal year, which is calculated to prevent fraud in raising the :i mount of the original order.

While the number of undeliverM let ters which f mud thfir way t i the dead letter office during the yaer was smaller than during the previous year the number of undeliveriil letters with valuable enclosures greatly increased. General prosperity of the country Is given as one reason: another is the suppression, by the depart nient of con cerns using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Mail for such concerns con taining money, money onh rs and com mercial paper was received at the dead letter otlice in unusual quantities. Near ly 1.0oo,omi pieces of mail were re ceived at the dead letter otlice during the year, including that failed of deliverv in the Panama canal .one. Offensive Pictorial 'arils.
