The Gardenville public school closed with APP
propriate exercises on Friday, June 2Sth. The
school, as shown by the recent examinations
has been doing excellent work under the prin-
cipalship of Mr.. Joseph Blair.
Sunday last was red letter day in the history
of the Catholic Church at Gardenville Card-
nal Gibbons was present and confirmed forty
persons. At the close of the services he was
escorted from the church to Gardenville by a
band of music and hOrsemen galy decorated.
Children day was observed at Catch S Church
on Sunday last The church was lavishly and
artisticaliy decorated with flowers. The altar
was almost hidden from view and the birds
that were suspended above it mingled their
voices with those of the bright and happy chill
dren. The service was entertaining, the sing
ing delightful, the Rotations creditable-in
fact the whole affair was in every way pleasing
and successful.
1t has been said that love laughs at lock-
smiths. Wherever there's will there's a way.
Mr.. j. S. Hedges, son of Rev. J. w. Hedges
and Miss Laura Cole, of Gardenville, proved
the correctness of these aphorsms. On June
Sd Mr.. Hedges called at the home of Miss Cole,
ostensibly for the purpose of seeing her father,
but as subsequent events show, such was not
hlsintention. However, to avert suspicion, the
young man told Mr.. Cole that he had been
offered some calves a few miles distant and not
having a horse he asked Mr.. Cole for the loan
of his. As he did not suspect the real mission
of the young man, Mr.. Cole loaned the horse
and Mr. Hedges and Miss Cole started off to-
gether. Instead of going after the calves they
drove to the city where they were met, accord
ing to previous arrangement, by Rev. Il.
Holmes Lamar, warm personal friend of both,
who was ready with the license. The next
step was to secure another minister to tie the
knot. OFF the party started with breathless
anxiety, lest they might be apprehended by
the irate father. The Rev. A. NJ. Courtenay,
of Madison Square, was found and he duly pro-
nounced the runaway couple husband and wife
1t is needless to say the calves were afterwards
lost sight of by the groom ALPHA.
Eklo, 9Th District-Rockdale milldam was

VI tIlc MlOldllI H. IT,, up llC llllo

ployed, and some beautiful summer resorts
erected, to consume the spring chickens, early
lambs, the peas and garden sass, topped off

advantages in perspective for the new railroad.

pleased with the entertainment. The teacher

fectionery and icecream She has large and
hourishing school and is very popular with her
pupils and patrons.
Farmers are as busy with the harvest as the
weather will permit, the recent heavy rains
having greatly retarded the work and damaged
the grain that had been cut. Corn looks well
and promises large crop. Fruit is also doing
well. EVERGREEN
