were married in open court by Judge Flip
pin. First waiter, Sheriff Farley; second

anxious to salute the bride, but she looked

1t is reported that Bob Mitchell of the
Medon settlement is passionately fond of
bee-hunting, and in taking an excursion OF
this kind he rides lean, lanll pony, clipped
in the rear and reached in front, and that it
is as skilled as he is in freeing bees. Often
Bob bells the pony and sends him about
after bees, and he always finds a full bee
gum. Bob ships large quantities Of sweet
ening and is thinking Of organizing Il corps
horse bee-hunters that he may be able to
establish wholesale honey house atAIedon.
