3 This valley will

hereafter.
The best air drills used in this mine are
the slugger pattern, manufactured by the

drill more ground with them.

Any one going around the Valley Foundry
would almost think the Krupp cannon works
had moved to the Valley and settled down to
business, by the looks of the young cannons
that Henry has lying around.
Be careful how you trust wedding cake
with the "Drifter." Some was sent to the |
Editor the other night and as he did not find
the Editor in, he sat himself gently down on
the front step of the sanctum and deliberately |
got away with tie cake.
MARRIED.-At the College of the Ursuline |
Sisters, Arcadia, Mo-, on Thursday morning, |
June oath, 1886, by Father Wernert, MIR. |
FRANK SIEBERT to Miss ANNIE WEHNER,
all of Pilot Knob.
Frank is one of the "band boys" and in |
consequence you may rest assured MS mar |
rage feast was not unattended. Even the |
ample preparations made at the residence of
the BRIDES parents did not more than suf-
flee for the hosts Of friends who came to pay |
their greetings. We do not know that we |
ever attended an occasion of this or any 9TH |
er kind where the arrangements were more |
perfect or in better taste. After partaking |
of the good things spread before them, the |
guests departed to the New House Hall,
where the evening ended in the enjoyment
of the "mazy dance.'
Mr.. Siebert, as deserving young man as
lives in the Valley, in the possession of his
bride has obtained all the reward his deserts |
could demand. May Mr.. and Mrs. Siebert |
live long and happily in the enjoyment of all
that makes connubial bliss an accomplished |
fact, is the prayer of the "Drifter."
