GREEN BAY LUMBER Co.
Mr.. +, II. Darlington is In the city to-
day, returning to his home in Guthrie,
Oklahoma, from trip In the east. He
is looking well and reports business In
that section good. Although he has
been absent from home he thinks the
drought reports badly exaggerated.
L. G. Vandenburgh went north Sat
urday evening presumably attended
church at Carroll Sunday, and in COM
pany with j, Burdick went fishing Mon.
day. They caught goodly mess of the
iinny tribe. We must admit to evil
dence this proof that the gentlemen do
not swear.
We are In receipt of copy Of the
Alaskan, published at Sitka, Saturday
June 2Sth, In which is noted the arrival
of the steamer "Queen," and in the list
of her passengers we find the names of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ward Lockwood, who re,
tured to Audubon last week. The
Alaskan is a five column folio, and
must be something Of luxury ut %
per year.

Oscar Reinemund, who has been
In the west returned as far

Last week The REPUBLICAN noted
the fact that no marriage license had
been issued this month, and invited
some enterprising couple to step up
and make the record good. A couple
from IIamlin township secured license
yesterday, proving a very quick return
on judicious advertising. This is our
first attempt toward the establishment
of matrimonial bureau, and the sue
cess is so gratifying that we are tempt
ed to make this permanent feature.
The vacation epidemic Is contagious.
The news that friends and neighbors
have dropped dull care and gone on q
pleasure trip inspires the longing to
follow the example. One signs for q
slight attack of some gentle malady in
order that 1t may be nursed at wa
tering place or given an outing Of some
sort. The temptation is great to take
snuff, feign hay fever and fee to the
mountains. A vacation however short
is good investment as 1t stimulates
business ambition and affords variety
Of occupation which seems a necessity
to the average man.
A very pretty wedding occurred ut
the residence Of John Dimmick In
Hamlin township, last evening, by
which the lives of his son, John, and
step-daughter, Marietta Cook were
united for better or for worse. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Ed.
b. Cousins in the presence of q sspiall
and select company Of the relatives
and immediate friends of the contract
ing parties, and after which bounte.
GUS supper and pleasant social season
were enjoyed by all. The young people
are highly respected and have hosts of
friends who extend hearty congratula-
lions.
Messrs. L. J. Hill and George Cross,
accompanied by their good intentions
and own Id(e)as, started to attend
dance in Douglas township last Friday
evening. The night was unusually
dark and q slight rain falling, so that
they drove cautiously, When mile
and half west Of the Center school
house and while driving on turn pike
the team walked off into creek, the
bridge having gone down stream with
the flood some weeks ago. The team
turned down the stream, 50 that the
buggy was capsized in coming down
the embankment. by good manage
ment the young men held the horses
and by the expenditure of hard work
succeeded in extricating the party,
team and vehicle from the ditch. One
horse was somewhat injured, SCOTS
fine buggy seriously damaged, aud the
people, well, they were discouraged, but
delighted to see home before morning.
The scene of the trouble Is one of those
altogether too common; a plain turn
