MARRIED,

This morning the marriage ceremony OF
G. w. Florence of the city, and Miss Lou
Use Jefferis Of Davenport occurred at the
residence of the brides parents in Daven-
port. The marriage service was pro-
nounced by the Rev. Mr.. Clute the pastor
of the Presbyterian Church. Only few
invited guests of the contracting parties
were in attendance, as the marriage was
of a private nature.
Mr. Florence is generally known in this
city as the night clerk of the Harper House,
while the bride is the step daughter of G.
II. Heinrich a merchant of Davenport.
The couple departed for Chicago this
afternoon, and expect to return within a
few days.

ANDALUsIA.
ANDALUsIA, Sept.

-eANDALUsIA, Sept. 81.
The ARGUS is fast becoming the most
popular newspaper ever published, and its
weekly edition is receiving numerous sub
scribers in this township. There are also
number of dailies taken here. The extra
and regular paper issued last Tuesday,
containing the news of the Presidents
death was generally appreciated up in
this neck of woods. A great many people
commented upon the black column lines
of the ARGUS and the lack of such mourn
in the other daily paper published at Rock
Island. 1t is the more remarkable that a
Democratic paper should pay such respect
when the Republican administration ne
elects such outward sign of inward sor-
row.
Andalusia is an enterprising little town
of about 600 Inhabitants. Pehaps
the ARGUS will yield the
space for the purpose of publishing the
names of the leading business men of the
place. Among the most prominent are
George Cobb and Sam Boney, who run the
dry goods stores of the place. Asa Parker
conducts the grocery store, while r. Ross
deals out from his drug store, the panacea
for all the ills that flesh is heir to. Frank
Dallerhide manages hall devoted to Gam
brinus, as well as boarding house Miss
Kate Osborn furnishes the fashions in
dresses and bonnets John Brookman and
Fritz Brasso supply the boots and shoes.
The harness and hardware business is rep
resented by Ed Strohmire and A. w.
Smith H Mosher and james Ballard
manufacture wagons and do a general
bIacksmithing business. W. Smith runs
the only lumber yard. James Moore is
the butcher The village school is under
the supervision of Prof. Scott, who is ably
assisted by Miss Maria Renworthy,
