A Los Angeles' Cal. , paper of June 28 , has this to say about the 1. marriage of Miss Mahala Clark - and Francis Authier which occur- F 1I. ' . , . Ito . ' - . . " to . Commercial Club Suggestion If the enthusiam which now prevails in , the local commercial club shall continue , this organization - tion will be of inestimable value to this city. Many young busi- ness men are enrolled as members and are working to the el\d that Falls City shall be the best town ever. There is no reason why this city should not be large as Beatrice , Kearney , Nebraska City , Hastings and towns of like size. We have every natural advantage and by a little concerted effort we could realize of many things which are at present embryonic. Why not appoint a special com- mittee of twenty active young ed at that place June 27 and mention of which was made in this paper at the time : "Miss l\'Iahala Clark and Fran- cis Authier were married yester- day at noon in the Pico Heights Congregational church , the pas- tor , Rev. Shaefle . ofi. ; iating. Miss Clark wore white chiffon with a large white lace hat and carried sweet peas. Her atten- dant was her sister , Stella Clark who . was gowned in material of mixed blue and white and carried sweet peas. Willard Berman sup- ported Mr. Authier. The wed- ding music was furnished by the organist of the church , who rendered ' 0 Promise me , ' during the reading of the rituals. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served for the few friends and relatives who witnessed - nessed the marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Authier will enjoy a wedding trip to San Francisco and cities of the Middle west and upon their return will be located in a pretty home on East Fourth , where Mrs. Arthier will receive her friends after July 15. Mr' Authier holds an important clerical position with the Santa Fe Company and his bride is a well known singer , who possesses a splend < I'soprano'voice and who . is popular in social circles. Commerical Club Meets. On Monday evening the 'Com- merical Club met at the Court House but no business of impor- tance was transacted The mak- ing of a road across the bottom south of town was talked about in an informal manner , but there was nothing definite settled upon. The Club adjourned to meet August 8th. 9 business , men to communicate with factories and other industries seeking a location. There is a splend opportunity to capture capital seeking investment. 'Vhy would not cereal mills , starch works and tanneries pay here ? We have all the raw material. Is it good sense or good business policy to send our raw material east , and then have it shipped back to us in its manufactured - factured state. Why not save the middle man's profit , the transportation charges etc. , and at the same time furnish employ- ment labor that will bring many families to our city ? Why not appoint this committee ? Colts Win Easily. The Nebraska City Argos were supposed to be ball players but they bumped against a proposi- tion in Falls City that made them think of , "Home Sweet Home" with variations. Paxton pitched the ball to them in his ever reliable - liable manner , and held the ! opposition - position down until the eighth inning when the Argos run ill two scores. 'W will credit Thomas , the visitors right fielder with a fine catch in the first half of the eighth inning. Game by innings : Nebr City-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-0-2 Falls City -0-0-1-0-1-2-0-1--5 Monday the Argos played at it , only worse than on Sunday. A home run was secured by the Argos in the first iuning. A foul caught by Sears cut short their score by one. The battery played - ed good and held their usual good reputation. Poteet secured two 2-base hits and two 3-base hits which is nothing unusual for him. Foehlinger made a good single in the third inning. Gus got busy and secured two 2-base hits. Heck and Fode made a good double play 'in the 6th inning. Crip was there as usual. Falls City-1-0-2-0-3-1-2-3-0-12 Neb. City-4-0-0-0-0-0.0-1-1-6 Craig and the colts will cross bats Sunday. Entertained. Pearl and Jennie'Prater enter- tained about thirty guests on Wednesday evening in honor of their cousins , Merton and Iilli- gan Prater of St. Joseph. Dainty refreshments were served and all enjoyed the evening immensely. Should Repeal It. A. J. Weaver was hi St. Joseph Thursday. We are informed that a contract has been executed between - tween the local telephone com- pany and the inter-state company I . . I whereby the latter is to come in to Falls City. At one time the city council passed an ordinance " putting a telephone franchise at $1,000. If our infoqnant is cor- rect this fee will be avoided by the inter-state company coming in on the poles of the local com- pan ) ' . If the inter-state can come in without paying this tax , the council should repeal its ordi- , nance and let the Farmers Mutual company in also. . , Bachelor Girls' Club. The Bachelor Girls Club was . . . organized and met with Miss Carrie Slocum on Wednesday afternoon. The time was pleas- anti ) ' spent in card playing after . , which refreshments were served . Ena Cooper of Humboldt was a . < guest. The members of the club . are Misses .Bess and Kate Hea- cock , Sara and Ethel Hutchins , .
