Announces Coming Marriage Cards are out announcing the com ing niarrit-ge of Miss Dee Garrison, of Union, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Garrison and Glen Todd. of. Murray, which is to take place at !the Garrison home on Wednesday, Septrmbr 29th. !ros Lumber Go, Union, Nebraska . Union Plays at Julian With a number of the players gone and others on the sick list, the Union team managed to put up a very good exhibition of the national game last Sunday at Julian, when all the ex-ofi'icio and honorary members were pressed into service, regardless of whether they had had any practice this season or not. Attorney C. L. Graves, manager of the team, was one of those forced to forsake the bench for a more active position and it is reported that he made four home runs, the last just before dark when the car in which they were riding broke down as they were nearing Union and Charlie ran for home and made it. The game was a long drawn out affair and when the score keeper went home to supper the wind blew the book he was using for a tally sheet into an adjoining corn field and it could not be found. From the best account that can be gotten from the players (and they seem unwilling to tell the whole story) it seems that Julian got a basket full of runs, and Union couldn't put all of theirs in a barrel. There will be another game next week at Dunbar, which is supposed to wind up the season, although if J. Frost holds off they may play anoth er one before ringing down the cur tain on the 1S20 season. Accidently Drinks Poison Word was received here Monday telling of the accidental drinking of wood alcohol by Charles Woodward at his home in Crofton, Nebraska. Mr. Woodward had been taking med icine for some ailment and during the night when endeavoring to get the bottle of medicine he made a mis take and got the wood alcohol, a con siderable amount of which he swal lowed. For a time it was feared he would not live, although his condi tion is more promising now. His brothers. Wes and William Wood ward and sister, Mrs. Frank Boggs, left Monday for Crofton to attend the bedside of the unfortunate man. It is hoped by the friends who know him here that he will recover the ef fects of his almost disastrous mistake. Epworth League Gives Picnic That the barriers might be brok en and all given opportunity to min gle at will and become acquainted with each other, the teachers, as guests of honor, and the members of the Epworth League enjoyed a very pleasant evening at the home of Geo. Everett one night last week. Tin big feature of the occasion was a weiner roast, with popcorn balls and toasted marshmallows. which went to make up a very appetising meal. Met With Mrs. Hansel The W. C. T. IT. society of Union met Tuesday of last week witli Mrs. J. C. Hansel, where they enjoyed an excellent program, the leader being Mrs. J. C. Snaveley. The subject was "Temperance and Labor."

Among remedies there are a few preparations which can proudly say that they hear such sweet voices every day. Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine ha-; belonged to them for thirty years, because everybody who takes it must confess that there is ntr'lietter rem edy for stomach troubles, poor ap oetite. constipation, headaches, etc. On Aug. 7. 1920, Mrs, Katie Serafin wrote us from Weldona, Colo., that: "Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine is one of the best medicines I have ever tried. Not only myself, but I have four children who simply cannot stay without it. So please send it as soon as possible." Your druggist or dealer in medicines car ries also other Triner's remedies in stock for the ailments which are now in season Triner's Liniment, and Triner's Cough Sedative as well as Triner's Antiputrin (an excellent gargle for throat inflamation ) are unexcelled.
