(May Oth, 1909) at the hourof 6 o'clock, occurred a quiet little wedding at the Presbyterian church, Mr. Carle T. McKinnie and Miss Winnifred L. Leach being united in the bonds of wedlock, the Rev. D. W. Montgomery, pastor of the church otticiating, and only the im mediate families of the contracting parties being present, followed by a wedding breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Musser, after which Mr. McKinnie and his bride took the U. P. train on a bridal tour to Los Angeles, where they will visit an uncle of the groom and spend a month or longer in Sunny Southern California. Mr. McKinnie is one of the most influential and respected farmers of Sherman county, coming here some five years' since, and with his brother, B. P. McKinnie, pur chasing a fine ranch which they re cently sold at a greatly enhanced figure and will probably later make their home in Southern California. Mr. McKinnie was for years, previous to coming to Sherman county, a representative of the Simmons Hard ware Co., of St. Louis, and later with the Stanley Works of New Britian, Conn. He has been prominent in republican party councils here and considered one of its leading rep resentatives, and counts his friends by the number of acquaintances he has made, who with one accord will congratulate him on his acquisition to the ranks of hymen. Mrs. Mc Kinnie is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Leach of Elm town ship, a former student of our high school, later a graduate of the schools at Oakdale, last year graduating from the Kearney State Normal, and has since been; teaching in our county schools, proving a most efficient in structor. and has a host of friends.

To add to his ill luck the team ran away, but Chris injured as he was, ran after and stopped them without damage, lie came on into town and I)r. Longacre set the arm. sewed up the cuts, after which he phoned to his boys, who came in and took him home. He was in town again Monday and had his wounds attended to and is bearing his injuries with unusual grit and is getting along as well as circum stances will admit.

Want ads pay in this paper. Mrs. E. C. Dyer advertised thoroughbred Plymouth Rock eggs for settings the past few weeks and satisfactory re sults causes her to re-advertise for a term longer.
