, Waubay WHITES

lotlce TO report IN this week Whit
ies is the marriage OF John Schmitt
and Clara Holman. both of Waubay.
They were united in Webster a short
ago by Rev. Father Mensing,
and will make their future home, FOR
the present, near Naubay, MIR. 5.
rented the large grain and
stock ranch of Delaney Bros for a
term of years, John is a rustler and
we predict for him and his a bright
future.
Mrs. German returned to her nome
at Condee, Friday morning, accom-
panied by her daughter, Mrs. H. J..
Herman, who will make a brief visit
at her old home. DR.. Herman went,
with them as far as Webster, and re-
turned on the way freight.
These separate sleighing parties
left town Friday evening for differ
ent points in the country. The first
headed for Robt. Stevenson's and
spent a few hours in social inter
curse and an old-fashioned candy
phil. The second drove to ID. w.
PauI's, where they spent the evening
tripping the light fantastic. From
all indications, they had IA way-up
time. Party number three went to
Mr.. Provan's, a little distance east of
town, or at least we supposed they
went there, but have been unable to
learn what amusements they had.
The editor of the Clipper must
certainly be beside himself {. After
Mocking Birds first communication
in the REPORTER, he comes out
aud tells his readers all about where
"Mocking Bird was dug up, etc.
Now he come out again with, "Co-
nundrum:-Where was Mockinp
Bird dug up ~, and because we al
luded to his remarks about BlueDog
he tries to make it appear that
-
Mocking Bird, like his predecessor,
is cunning after the editor of the
Clipper. If that IS what he calls gun
ming, we would like to ask who fired
the first gun? 1t is to be hoped that
Mockiug Bird will not have the mis-
fortune tt be compelled to sign
''misinformed" to any of his commu-
nications.
We had the pleasure not long ago
to listen to a regular old calamity
howl of about an hours duration. 1t
hadn't been advertised or anything
of the kind, but just naturally burst
forth like a volcano without a min
utes warming. 1t was from one of
our popuIist friends, of course, and
words flowed so thick and fast with
out taking sufficient time for breath,
that, actually, he nearly turned blue
in the face before he got run down.
Bill Eiussong naturally caught it, OF
course, for not declaring himself a
Republican when he accepted the
nomination for county commissioner
on the Republican ticket. How the
party got its start, and all about sill
Yer and gold and England and this
country and Mexico paying 81 per
busllel for wheat in silver, and a
thousand and one other things toe
! numerous to mention. Just think oi
it, and at this season of the year, al
that! We suppose the elevation Of
Tom Reed started him. We also
had supposed that from the wear and
tear of a year ago that the wheel.
and also the crank was so completely
out OF repair that it wouldn't have
paid to have it fixed up, but it looks
now as If they had been left at
L.asell's all this time, undergoing re.
pairs, and they are now in first.class
shape again, especially the crank.
What is it the Clipper says Gene
| Statler has run up asains. Ia Colo
RADIO ? He must be having a very
serious time of it, according to all
reports.
