The Presbyterian Church was beautifully
decorated with flowers last Sunday-it be-
ing Easter. We are not good at describing
that sort of thing, for, TO our shame be il
said, we scarcely know a begonia from Il tiger
MY. Be that as it may, however, the flow
ers in the church were SO gracefully dis
played and tastefully grouped that he must
have been yeritable heather whose ewes
did not fill with pleasure on beholding them.
MARRIED-At the residence of the brides
father. IN South st. Louis, on Wednesday,
April list, 1855 by Rev. Chaudless, Mr..
CHAS. ". RUSSELL to Miss SARAH S. MAR
TIN.
The new-made bride and groom came
down to the Valley Friday, and are now
visiting friends and relatives. Mr.. Russell
was born and reared in the Valley and is
known to everybody as a worthy citizen,
and we are assured his choice of life
partner was made with his usual good iudg-
ment. We congratulate both, and wish
them long connubial life and ways Of pleas
antness.
The people of Iron county favor primary
election, and are against i convention, to
nominate candidates for the county officers,
for the following reasons: Because pri-
mary brings out 4 full expression of the
people, and is the Will ofthe people express
ed. At a primary, when man can't come
at one time of day, he can at another, there
by guaranteeing full expression. A delegate
convention is not expressive of the will of
the people. The people do not and cannot
turn out to the township meetings to select
delegates, and their not doing often puts
the selection of candidates in the hands of
minority, and small minority at that.
Therefore, give Us primary, where every
man has an equal voice and an eqnal influ-
ence.
The Golden Dramatic Company will give
an entertainment ut the Academy of Music
Saturday evening. This will be pleasant
news to the people of the Valley, who re-
member the excellent performance given by
this company here about three years ago.
The advance agent assures us that the person
mel of the troupe has in no way deteriorated,
and that the band is the best they have ever
had. As this is the only first-class travelling
company that has visited US this season, we
believe big houses await it. We copy an
item from the Dennison (TeX.) Netrs which
July bears out the assertions and claims OF
the GUdRt cOureltr:
The spacious opera house was unable to
contain the vast audience last hight who de-
sired TO hear the GOldens play, the popular
comedy drama, "Jo." Gallery, dress circle
and parquet were filled TO overlooking, and
the ai>les were packed that standing room
was ut premium. The people seemed |
willing TO give any money TO hear Bella |
Golden, Martin Golden and Harry Robinson. |
obody was disappointed. The star mani |
tested in marked degree her rare talents. |
The rapid transitions from grave TO gay, and |
from pleading to defiance kept the magniti-
cent audience continuously alternating be-
tween laughter and tears. Mr.. Golden is a
perfect genius, and Harry Robinson is too
laughabie for anything The support was
very strong and good last night and added
greatly to the success. The band and orches-
ira are important factors contributing large
" to the great success achieved. The solos
were greatly appreciated and loudly cheered.
