dressed in white sill, y ith Orange bios
SONS while her i. hole outfit was
superb and extensiNe. \ number of
guests were from Cievei md and other
cities. The bridal presents we're elab-
crate in number and beauty. A full
and beautiful Silver Tea Set from
"mother" was indeed a magnificent
gift-mOst worthily bestowed. We
cannot enumerGte, but the tokens of
kindly regard were profuse and costly.
The happy couple with number of
friends, Immediately after splendid
breakfast, took the ii A. NJ. train for
Cleveland, the future home of the
young voyagers, whittier we bid them
with thousand kindly wishes that
Long days be theirs and each as lusty sweet.
As gracious natures find their lives 10 be;
May age steal on with softly -cadenced feet
Falling in music, as for them is meet;
Now love steals shgly thro' the loud acclaim
And we ali ,nul IL ur, God bless yon! ChduLes

Old John Koehlin, a most worthy
citizen, died very suddenly and unex-
pectedly on Monday evening The
old man had been suffering from Asth-
ma and other trouble in his lungs but
no serious present danger was antici-
pated till an hour before his death. He
was a man universally respected and
enjoyed the confidence fully of the en-

Diptheria is still prevalent in our
bOrderS-While Pneumonia is also Civ

One of the finest skating rinks in the
market is the back riNer. On Sabbath
last, to the discredit of our community,
hundreds of men, women and children
We're skating on it all day. If people
protesting to be reputable men ard
women have no respect for themselves
on the Sabbath-they should have for
the Christian sentiment of the commu-
mites in which they live-which don't
tolerate this kind of Sabbath deseera-
ton. We repeat the exhibition was
disgraceful.

worthy merchant is lying dangerously

We are glad to see DIR. Junkins

"a couple of sticks. He has been sOrely
afflicted with a broken leg.
