Z t-MARR1ED.-Att the residence of the.
brides parents in Austin. Sunday evening
August I'd, 1885. by Rev. W. E. Stanley
Mr.. George Miller and Miss Clara b.
Palmer, both of this city. Miss Clara
has been a faithful employee in the
TRANSCRIPT Office for the past three years
Her taking off was rather sudden; but
twas ever thus, this being the sixth time
We have been thus bereft during our Aus
tin newspaper life. AS heretofore we
shall do our best to brace up under the
affection, as we have No. Z in training.
Mrs. Clara Miller has our very best wish
es for happy, useful and prosperous
life
Last week Thursday eur Their
mometer hung against the piazza post
with = don't care look, and while 1t
marked the heat at SO in the shade, and
14lo in the sun. it still seemed en-
tirely Indifferent, and to have lost all feel
ings of sympathy for heated, sweltering
humanity The air fairly quivered with
the intense heat, dazzling and binding
us as we looked into the bright, flashing
sunlight The mercury, as it attained
the topmost round of the ladder, sat peer
ing over the top of the red-hot glass, with
saucy look, and finger upon the side
of its nose. shouting to the passer-by.
"How's this for hlgh?"
-Faribault, acknowledged to be almost
the banner educational town in the State,
pays the principal of the high school 500
per month, and the subordinate teachers
S35, $40, and $45 per month. "What
stingy set of men they must have on the
school board to pay such stingy prices
to their teachers" This is the remark we
sometimes hear in regard to our own
school board, who pay these same prices
to the teachers in our public school, save
that our assistant principal gets 800 per
month. These prices should and will give
the schools good teachers. We are glad
to note that, as we have before stated,
Austin is in this respect as in all others,
fully up to the times.
"A committe from Mcintyre Post No.
66, G. A. R., have prepared the following
resolutions for publications:
1t is with profound sense of personal bereave
ment we join with our comrades Of the Grand
Army of the Republic and our fellow citizens
death Of CUR illustrious commander, Ulysses
Sidney Grant, for two terms as President Of the
United States of America. His eminent servic-
es in bringing the great war for the restoration
Of the Union to a triumphal contamination,
will enshrine his memory forever in the hearts
Of the American people. We sympathize deeply
with his family in this hour Of their sorrow and
pain, and yet to them must come the comfort
ing reflection that by united act of nations
spontaneous devotion his name is placed forever
beyond the reach of all shafts of detraction, and
his tame will grow brighter and brighter as all
mankind shall come to realize more perfectly
in the ages to come how much of the worlds
great future of good was involved in the strife
of which he was the central actor, and the savior
Of his country.
Our hall will suitably be decorated and our
post will participate in funeral observances.
