Miss Klttie Glover, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. s. Everest, of A,chison,
Kansas, is to be married this "Wednesday
evening, al Trinity church, Atchison, to
Mr.. William T. Fleming of Philadelphia.
As Kittie was once an Aus tin girl, and a
bright one too, we feel interested in her
future, and must and will believe that
she has united her fortunes with worthy
young man.
The Congregational sociable, enter.
tanned Friday evening by Mr.. and Mrs.
L. 8. Willard, was largely attended by
both old and young. We think this in
termingling of the parents and children
outside of their own homes tends to good.
We like to see the children at the church
sociable with their parents, and not in
young peoples evening sociables, where
their parents cannot look after them.

mot lie undersold. New goods will be
received daily for the present.
