Afro-Americans between Lawrence and
Kansas City who have from 80 to 200
acres of potatoes each this year. All of

Fostorio, Ohio, Aug. 26.-A decided
sensation WAS created here by the mar.
riage last night of the Rev. Mr.. Thomp.

her marked attention. His congrega-
ton rem onstrated vigorously and finally
a few weeks ago he was given an indefi.
mite leave of absence and the church
was closed up. The Rev. Mr.. Thomp.
son wrote TO the bishop, explaining his
dilemma, and it is reported he received
a reply that a church could interpose no
objection to the marriage. Miss Hawks
father and two brothers are quite dark.
but the woman has the appearance of a
handsome brunette. She has been en-
ployed as q servant in the family of DR..
P. L. Myers, the son-in.law of ex-secre'
tary Foster. Rev. Mr.. Thompson is
only twenty-five years old and is prepar.
pairing to 60 az missionary to foreign
fields. He and his bride expect ia
make it their life work and will leave
this country next year. They have gone
to Maryland on wedding trip, and viii
not return to the city. In the mean
