TO come and participate in the pleas

We are more than glad to hear that
our teacher, Miss Effie Roberts, won
the silver medal at Patch Grove in the
evolutionary contest. Miss Roberts
will soon have taught year in Bag
ley and has given unbounded salts
faction and is held in high estimation
by all.
Oh. don't you hear dem wedding
bells? Married on May p, 1895 at
the home of the beides parents by the
Rev. Frank Bell, Mr.. John T. Clifton,
of Brodtville to Miss Annie Palmer of
the same place At high noon the
contracting parties took their places
at the hymeneal altar and the mystic
knot that blends two hearts in one
was tied. Mr.. Edwin White acted as
best man and Miss Hattie Jackson,
as brides maid. We might briefly
state that the groom wore the con-
ventional black and the bride was
robed in tan colorel dress. The
bridal rose worn by the happy bride
was kindly furnished by Mrs. Wealth
erwax of Bagley. Soon after the nup-
tial vows were taken the new couple
together with large number of
invited guests sat down to a what do
you call it? Oh yes, a sumptous feast.
We will refrain from using the hack
neyed phrase, The table fairly
groaned under the heavy load of luxu-
rious fruits and rich and costly viands.
For we don't believe the table is half
as apt to groan on such occasions as
some of the guests few hours later,
who are apt to indulge the palate
when the menu is so carefully pre-
pared and invitingly set before them
as it was at this time. Somehow it
leaked out who the HERALD quill
driver was. So we received a liberal
slice of the wedding cake and as our
sweet tooth crunched down through
the delicate morsel, our mind v s
busy fabricating genuine ream of
Joy, contentment aud prosperity for
the new~couple, now on the thresh-
hold of a voyage across the sea OF life.
The congratulations and presents be-
slowed upon the new couple clearly
showed the appreciation of many
friends, as the old Indian would say:
Heap much. Big lot presents
Some invited could not attend but
sent tokens of regard. Ye local from
long acquaintance can say that the
groom has good business tact, is tenn
perate and Industrious, and has wise
ly provided for the bride comfortable
home where she can reign with I'M
disputed sway as Queen of the house
hold. Now what can we say of the
bride? Why just this and without the
least fear of contradiction, that her
whole young life has been constant
benediction In the home life, the
the social circle, church. Sunday
school and league. After . few days
of visiting with friends they expect to
settle down to solid life and business,
and if the public don't hear a good re-
port from them then it will be be-
cause of the dry weather.
If Gus Brodt isn't in the shop, You
will find him down on the reserve
hoeing Eaters
Art Calkins is now again shipping
stock and grain on the G. b. & n.
John Keller is rushed in the mason
work all the time, Crawford and
Brodt are at work on fine residence
for George Miller.
Keller & Day are well satisfied with
the Spring trade in farm machinery.
