“I paid that bill once."
“You must be mistaken.”
“Indeed, I am not mistaken.”
“Have you a receipt?”

what I did with it.”
“We have no record of payment, and unless I
you can produce our acknowledgment in the
way of receipt, we must insist that you pay
this account.”
But it might have been a different story had the bill teen
paid with a bank check. No chance for argument or dispute

It is a very chilly week when news
papers are not asked to suppress
more or less sensational news, whien
on the w hole are better not published
as reflecting unfavorably on the par
ticipants. This week is no exception
with the Loup City papers, but it is
hardly necessary to request reliable
new spapers to omit mention of such,
as their publication would only tend
to make more public, create a desire
for distasteful facts and do greater
harm than good. The Northwestern
does not need hush talk along thesi
jines. It prefers to build up rather
than tear down.

W. Curry. At the appointed hour,
Miss Myrtle Daddow took her place
at the organ and to the strains of the
wedding march the bride and groom
appeared and marched to a pretty and
beautifully arranged corner, where
Rev. J. O. Hawk of the First M. E.
church. Loup City, pronounced them
husband and wife, using the ring
ceremony. After congratulations all
repaired to the dining room and par
took of a delightful supper. Many
useful and beautiful gifts were re
ceived by the young couple from their
many friends. The groom is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Curry, west of
town, who with his fair bride, have
the best wishes of their host of
friends for a happy and prosperous
journey through life.
Characteristic Letter
From W. H. Kennedy
Jn remitting to the Northwestern
a little collatteral from his home at
Marengo. Ohio, our good old friend,
Bill Kennedy hands us the following
fine vase of violets:
“I can not afford to give up the
Northwester: it reaches me regularly
every Monda.. afternoon and when I
read it, it almost makes me homesick
to see Loup City once again. I see
you are following out the scriptural
teaching, “Multiply and replenish the
earth.” 1 heard of a fellow once
who being asked how many children
he had, replied, “That he was naming
them after the New England States.
He had Maine, New Hampshire, Ver
mont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts
and a flattering prospect of Con
necticut.” But you have not quite
reached that point: you are drifting
that way. Please tender kindest re
gards to all the Loup City friends
and Mrs. Kennedy joins me in warm
est regards to yourself and family.
Respectfully,
W. H. Kennedy.
