AT the residence of the brides par.
ents Mt O'Clock p. NJ, January |, 1891
MIR. Riley Rice and Miss Katie C. Code
all of Idaho county, were united in holy
wedlock.
Rev. w. A. Hall, in solemn and i'm
pres>ive manner, made them one and
invoked the aid of Deity to protect
them in their united journey through
life.
The handsome bride, elegantly attir-
ed received the fond caress of her low
ing parents and the congratulations of
her many friends, with smile of han
piness, as she leaned upon the arm of
her support through life. The groom
was the picture of contentment during
the entire evening, as lie fully realized
ne had secured prize such as but few
men get. sir. Rice came among us a
good honest boy many years ago and
has not only accumulated a fair share of
this worlds goods but has built for him
self by honesty and industry name
which entitle him to the reward he has
just RECEIVED.
After the congratulations the relatives
and few special friends of the bride
and groom were marched to the dining
hall, where all partook of the finest sun
per ever spread in Idaho. 1t would be
too great a task to try to enumerate the
good things set before the guests. Mrs
Code is the person of all others TO oct
up an elaborate banquet and make eve.
rythine just tit your palate.
| almost forgot TO mention that Mr.
Jay Rhoades and Miss Cora Code. sister
of the bride. were pest man and maid
on the occasion. Miss Cora is n Iovalo
girl and did honor to the occasion. Law
tried to look handsome and succeeded
fairly well, as no man could be Other
than patriotic with such IA handsome
girl to support him on the occasion, and
no doubt dreams of the future with
happy anticipations when his turn will
come. May his'dreams be realized.
Af'er supper the young folks repaired
to the spacious hail of Mr.. JEFF. Davis.
where music was in waiting and they
kept up the jrb;!ee Iii early dawn.vhen

Mrs. DIR. j. T.. White Dead.

Died, at her home in Perry, Rails
county, Mo-, on Friday, September
Is, after a brief illness Of typhoid
fever, Mrs. Minnie l.. White, wife
of DR.. ]. W. White and a daughter
of James NJ. and Maria Beagles, of
Mexico, No., aged % years and
fourteen days. The early years Of
her childhood were spent on her
fathers farm near Worcester, Mo.
She was several years a student at
Hardin College, and while there
made a profession of faith in Christ
and was baptized by Elder J. W.
Higbee. She ever loved the church
and Sabbath school, and attended
church her last Sabbath on earth.
On the goth of November, 1888, she
and DIR. J. T. White were married
and made Perry their home. That
she succeeded in winning the esteem
OF her new associates was shown by
their attention during her illness
and grief at her departure. She was
naturally joyous, but when bowed
in sorrow, sought in prayer that
help only God can give. Her beau
tiful home, adorned with tasteful
paintings, the works Of her own
hands, and flowers Of her painting,
await another's care ; her instrument
of music another's touch ; she no
longer needs them, having joined
the choir that sang in heavenly
mansions the new song before the
throne. To the bereaved husband
and parents that have made their
first contribution to the better
world, We commend the Physician
who never fails to heal the broken
hearted. Mexico's cemetery holds
in trust all the mortal, but Jesus
has taken to himself the immortal
spirit of our loved one.

The Kansas City Star, speaking
of the road garder contest which
took place in this city last week,
says: The interest which Gov.
Francis is taking in this important
matter is highly commendable. In
his speech at Mexico he announced
that if any feasible plan of road i'm
provement could be recommended
ne would present 1t to the Legisla-
ture which will be called this winter
for the redistricting of the state.
This ought to be done by all means.
1t is a wise suggestion, and is In
harmony with the good business
sense which has characterized the
governors administration. The
extra session wall be favorable to
a mature and intelligent considers
ton of the question, as the atten-
ton OF the Assembly will not be d.
verified by the local measures with
which the members always come
loaded to the regular sessions.
The great need of better roads in
Missouri ia fully appreciated and
the state has ample means to pro-
vide them. In TACT an ADEQUATE
system of highways would augment
the wealth of the state to a degree
which would cover the cost tenfold
over. No question now before the
peole Ii nose urgent or involves
more vital results. It is an entire.
u proper matter to submit to the
Legislature next winter and il real.
" rivals in importance the object
for which the extra session will be
called. Governor Francis will add
still higher honers TO his excellent
administration il he succeeds in
giving . definite impulse to the
growing sentiment IN favor of bet.
ter country roads in Missouri.

Seibert has been so satisfactory to

careful and intelligent management
it has attained a degree of eficien-
cy never before known. Such an
