Brayton'Eewoody
The Ainsworth Star-Journal today
will coetain the following bit of inter
esting new :
"Married , at the home of the bride ,
Friday evening- , July 14 , Frank Bray-
ton and Minnie A. Dewoody , the Rev.
Tripplett officiating. It was a quiet
wedding , Walter Jackson and Edna
Fischer of Valentine being the only
guests present. Mrs. Brayton is the
only daughter of John Dewoody and
wife , and has many friends who con
gratulate Mr. Brayton upon his
choice. Mr. Brayton is a prosperous
merchant and a highly respected gen
tleman of Valentine. Mr. and Mrs.
Brayton left on the II o'clock train
for Valentine , their future home ,
where they are both well and favor
ably known. They will be at home to
their friends after September 1st. "
It gives us great pleasure to an
nounce this marriage , as both the
controcting parties are friends of the
editor , and a more suitable union for
either could not be imagined. Each
is possessed of those attributes which
are essential to a happy married life ,
and we predict for them , a long and
happy connubial existence. While
waiting for their house to be vacated
the couple are boarding at The Don-
oher , but they will soon move into
the groom's recently purchased resi
dence on Cherry street , known as the
Holsclaw property.

At the residence of the bride's par

and Maud Carpender were married ,
the Rev. J. M. Bates officiating. The
wedding was a very pretty affair and
took place in the presence of a num
ber of invited friends. Speaking of
the couple the Ainsworth Home Rule
said last week :
' Mrs. Witt's parents are among
Brown county's earliest settlers , and
Maud has grown up among us and is
well and favorably known to all our
readers. The groom is among the
many prosperous ranchmen of Cherry j
count } ' , and is held in highest esteem
bv all who know him. The newly
wedded pair left on the west bound
passenger and after a short tour will
be at home in Thedford , Nebraska. "
R. M. Faddis and. wife came up from
Brownlee , Friday , and Saturday rent
ed the Fischer property on Cherry
street , formerly occupied by the Hon.
John Shore , and after next week will j
make this place their home. We are j
glad to note this addition to Valentine - \

lence of our schools and society becomes - '
comes more generally known more of {
our larjre stockmen will move to Val.

Chas. Bailev , a negro , was brought 1
to Valentine Saturday morning by
Jim Gillaspie , who was specially dep
utized for that purpose , and lodged in i
jail charged with having stolen a two ri
year old heifer from D. C. Nelson. 1
He will be given a preliminary hearing - t
ing next Saturday. The heifer in
question bears Nelson's brand , but
Bailey claims to have branded it him
self , not knowing that anyone owned $
that mark. <
There are hundreds or rather thous j
ands of dollars worth of county warrants - c
rants lying in the clerk's office unclaimed - *
claimed , which are as good as gold ,
some of these warrants date back as
far as 1895 , and if not claimed soon ]
will be canceled. If you have any of
these due you , you had better call and
get them , or wiite the editor , giving
him authority and he will apply the f
amount on your subscription.
