One of the pleasant social events of the
season took place Wednesday eve in the
marriage of Eugene M. Lyon of Peru
ind Miss Carrie Thomson at the "River-
side" home of the BRIDES parents In Land
grove. The family connection of both
the contracting parties as well as the
universal esteem in which they are held,
made the event one of great interest. The
house was filed with invited guests, all
bringing some token of appreciation and
goodwill, making list of presents too
numerous to here mention, among them
however, being liberal check from the
brides father. The ceremony was neatly
performed by the Rev. W. r. Dayen-
port, assisted by the Rev. L. E. Reynolds,
both brothers-in-law of the bride. Albert
M. Lyon, a brother of the groom, aided
as his best man, while Miss Thomson
was attended by her cousin, Miss Alziua.
After congratulations, a sumptuous
repast was served, followed by appropri-
ate sentiments under the charge of Mr..
Davenport. Mr.. Reynolds responded to
marriage as dual and Religious Insti-
tuition" aptly referring to the necessity
of building up true homes, sanctioned by
pure marriage. Marriage, he continued,
was most important part of citizenship,
and special tax upon all bachelors
would not be out of place.
AS Mr.. Thomson's family has supplied
the schools of Peru for many years with
an uninterrupted flow of successful teach
ers, and as Miss Carrie has been its ideal
teacher for the last two years, Supt. M.
Hapgood of Peru was called upon to
respond to 1.-The Vanishing School
marm." He said he felt like breaking in
durign the ceremony and demanding as 8
condition that Miss Carrie must come
back and give us, at least, one more term
He did not believe that the word .s.yan,
ish' should be used, or that ladies should
think that they must drop the occupation
of school teaching after marriage.

Behold town meeting time cometh
Then all ye legal voters come forth
Quicken your thoughts, sharpen your
intellects and vote accordingly. 1t is
your duty, Oh, ye voters To vote
in a manner that will bring, ':the
greatest good to the greatest number. "
Arouse your judgement, place the
best men in office and those who will
bring about the above good to the
people and not to themselves individ-
ually. DO not sit all day at home in
sloth and Incidence, and when the
voting is all done and results poorly
say II told you So" Arouse your
selves from past actions and past
failures and together with your neigh
bors, come forth.
HoughtonvilIe is about right in re.
gard to the present way of conduct
ing the schools. Perhaps those points
might apply in other towns. Peru for
instance. Thanks to Houghtonyille.
