tion of tho First Methodist church In

kind of ministers of whom a congrega
tion or a community novcr gots tired,
and as n minister has few exceptions.
Not only is ho a minister of tho gospel
but an oxcollont lecturer on most nny
subject. Ho has made mnnv lectures
to tho various A. O. U. W. Lodges of

enthusiastically recolvod and highly

puttho avorngo campaign speaker to

dltlon to anv community. Mr. Darby

ference at Fairbury and it is tnbe
hoped that ho will again bo assigned to

Married Mr. John O. Wiles and
Miss Graco E. Fort, both woll and fa

1808 at tho homo of tho bride's paronts
in tho presonco of about fifty guests
and relatives. Elder L. A. Hussong of
tho churoh of Christ officiated. Tho
houso was very tastefully decorated.
Tho presents wero from far and near,
many in number and very oboico. Tho
suppor was replete with tho viands of
tho season and tho sorenado by tbo
band was its choicest music. Tbo
"Longhingrin" wodding march was
played by Miss Marv Miner. Our con
gratulations go heartily to this worthy

Tho numerous fakirs who havo made

last weok and a' part of this, cleaned up
betweon 860 and 8100 for each appear
anco they mado on tho streets and tbo
city got tho paltry sum of a coupio of
aonars out oi mem tor eacn aaya li
cense, wo uon't bellovo that any
amount of licence monoy can bo charg
ed which would mako the business of
these follows legitimate as against our
own business men who maintain their
places of business, hiro clorks and pay
taxes to koop up our city. Wo do bo
lievo that an ordinance could bo passod
naming a largo enough liconso to keep
theso fellows from operating at all. If
it is right and according to law to
chargo these fellows two dollars per
day it is right to charge them 825 per
day, or a sum sufficient to mako them
quit tho town without operating. Tho
town of Boavor City makes follows of
this chss put up 825 por day and assess
es a liconso of 850 per day on a circus
and it would bo well for our ouncil to
do tho samo thing.
