Uncle Billy is so fond of custard pies

Married at the home of the bride's

the Rev. G. H. May field on April gth ,
Mr. William S. Bixler and Miss Alice L.
Cole. Mr. Bixler came to this township
when a. little boy. Here he developed
into rugged physical manhood by hard
labor on the farm. He received a good
education by attending the graded
schools in McCook. In the fall of 1896
he rented land and began working for
himself. Last 3-ear he had 1800 bushels
of wheat for his share and a few weeks
ago he bought a fine quarter of improved
land. He is one of the sterling , enter
prising j'oung farmers of this township
Miss Alice Cole is the accomplished and
lovable daughter of M. H. Cole and wife
of this precinct. She is one of those un
selfish , kind-hearted girls who believe
in helping mother , and so she was al
ways at home taking mother's burdens
on her own 3'oungshoulders. . To her
there was 110 place like home. When
we meet young people like these we just
want to take off our cap to them. Their
acquaintances wish them a long , happy
and prosperous life here and a home in
the "sweet by and by. " It was a quiet
wedding , attended only by the families
of the contracting parties. They have
already begun house-keeping.
