the most successful occasions that has
ever been given by the association.

about $10 richer. The program w as
given in the evening, and there were
tibout sb ty in attendance. The read
ing by Mrs. T. J. Rrendel was very
interesting, also the civic improve

grateful to Miss Claire and Master

Lee Kniss mail rwute team took
quite a lively spin down the Main
street of Murray Wednesday after
noon. One would think that after
traveling a mail route when the road
are in the condition that they are
now, the team would certainly h'j
readv to rest, but not so this time.
Lee had tied them at the upper part
of the street, but from some cause
they became frightened and broke
loose, and ran down to the railroad
tracks, where they were stopped, but
not until the wagon and harness were
pretty badly torn up. The wagon
traveled on its top most of the way,
which was completely torn off. The
horses fell on the tracks and wer?
slightly bruised, but not injured.

Yesterday in Omaha occurred the
marriage of two of the most popular
young people of our neighboring city

decided to steal away quietly and
have their life's happiness realized

Roedeker, and the marriage was quite
a surprise to most of the friends of
these two most estimable young peo-1
pie, as they had kept closely the date

has spent her lifetime, and all will

during his residence in that place
has been able to advance greatly tha
interests of his church and he has

respect and esteem of the people of
that sevtion.
To Rev. and Mrs. Hutchman the
best wishes of their friends will go
