Fitch-Mason Nuplialt
Through an oversight the Journal
failed yesterday to chronicle the mar
rlage of two of Cass county's popular
young people. The event referred to
Is the marriage of Robt. Fitch, Jr. of
Murray to Mis Elizabeth Mason of
this city. The ceremony was perform
ed Saturday evening In the county

Stolen Property Found.
It will be remembered by the Jour
nal readers that Uncle James Root's
residence In Murray was, last Septem
ber, during his absence In the east, en
tered by burglais and his clothing, a
lot of silverware and other articles
stolen, and not the slightest clue as
to who the guilty parties weie has
ever been discovered, but a few days
ago the stolen goods were all found
near one of the elevators where they
had been placed under a pile of grain
doors. Evidently the guilty parties
are home talent, and their nerve failed
them, fearing that they might be
caught with the stolen property in
their possession. Now, Mr. Root
would like to know "who Is who."

One on Clint. j
Mrs. Clint Totten tells a good story
on her husband, an incident that Is
too good to keep. Clint had taken off
his shoes preparatory to retiring. The
howling of a batch of stray dogs near
the house was very annoying. "I'll
stop that," be said, and thereupon
took an ancient shotgun with an old
rusty load in It and stepped out on
the porch. There was a bright flash
of light, a deafening detonation, a rat
tling of shot amid the distant cotton
woods, followed almost Instantly by a
dull thud the fall of a heavy body.
With fright Mrs. Totten hastened to
see what bad happened. There on the
porch lay his gun, but Clint was no
where to be seen. On further search
she saw his head, arms and legs stick
ing out of a fourteen gallon stone Jar,
standing oy trio porcn. lie was
wedged tight. "That darned old
blunderbuss kicks like a mule. For
heaven's sake help mo out of here,

cated from his acrobatic position. At
the entreaties of his wife he refused
to respond to an encore, stating that
he was not running a circus.

THE LIGHT HATTER AGAIN
Will the City C:r.;';l Accept the Proposi
tion of tts Gleavscd Man?
IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE LOW ENOUGH
And Some People are Wondering Why the
Home Company Wants More.
Citizens, property owners and busi
ness men should agitate a little more
earnestly the proposition to put arc
lights upon the streets. It you want
them as badly as they are really
needed go right straight to the mem
ber of the council from your ward and
tell him so. Tell him the city cannot
afford to do without lights any longer
and thus endanger the life of citlens
who have business down town after
nightfall.
To remain without lights longer Is
outrageous, when the council have a
proposition to put them In so cheaply.
We have a lighting company here at
home, and It would seem to a man up
a tree that It a stranger can come here
and put in so many arc lights at a
stated price, the company established
in the city could do the work for the
same price, or, in fact, much less. It
looks very reasonable that It can. But
let this be as it may give us lighted
streets.
Here we bave a city of 6,000 or 7,000
people that once toasted of an excel
lent lighting system, that made Main
street as light as day the darkest
night that ever was, and the stranger
who then entered our gates spoke of
our enterprise and "get up and git."
But a few years ago a shade of black
ness gathered over the town and It
has remained there for about six years
or more because the city authorities
thought the lighting company was
robbing them.
But now we have an opportunity to
get lights at a very reasonable rate
and every citizen between now and
the meeting of the council next Mon
day night should agitate the matter
and give expression to their opinion
before that date, and let the members
of the council be goverened accord
ingly in their actions regarding the
matter.
Let's stop this monkey business. The
people demand light, and the sooner
they get It the better it will please
them. If our home lighting company
will not be as reasonable In Installing
these lights, we say glre the contract
to the Glenwood man.
"Home first the world afterward,"
has always been the Journal's motto,
bub in this case the home lighting
company does not seem to hew to this
line as enthusiastically as we believe
it should. But by all means, let us
have more light In riattsmoutli.
