time for the wedding of Miss Bessie
Siaats, daughter Of John r. Staats, and
DR.. T. A. Enoa, of Townsend, and the
young pastor, Rev. e. P. Roberts, who
had never married a couple, was en-

mony and tie the indissoluble knot.

unanimous vote granted the privilege
to the Fort Wayne Jenney Electric
Light Company to erect poles and start

has yet to pass an ordinance regulating
the conditions under which the oom-
pany Is to enter the city we hope due
care will be taken to protect the streets
OF our city from being torn up and left
without being put In proper repair
again. Bstween laying water pipes,
gas pipes, drain pipes and digging holes
for electric wire poles, 1t need be
matter OF no great surprise that our
streets are sometimes in very bad
