MILE BIRUM MARRIED.
Becomes Mrs. Berkimer by Cere.
mony on tuesday.

A charming wedding disturbed the
otherwise quiet precincts of our sub
urban town, North Redwood, last
Tuesday morning, when j. Frank
Berkimer of Minneapolis, special con-
ductor in the employ of the Minneapo-
lis & St. Louis railroad, was united in
marriage to Miss Millie Maud, the
charming and eldest daughter of Mrs.
Anna V. Birum, of North Redwood,
and one of the early settlers of that
township.
The ceremony occurred at $50 o.
clock sharp, Rev. w. H. Knowlton of
the Episcopal Church of the Holy
Communion of this city performing
the same. The ceremony was the
beautiful one regularly used by all
rectors of Episcopal churches, and
was interviewer at times with delight

it was only necessary to be present at
the stock yards of the Chicago &

last. From early in the morning un-
til four o'clock in the afternoon a con-
tinuous line of sleighs and wagons
loaded with hogs kept coming in,
took their place in line, and emptied
the contents of their sleigh or wagon
boxes into the yards of the Northwest
ern, preparatory to weighing, receiv-
ing checks, and passing on to make
room for the next Before the last
team had passed out of the yard over

XMAS IN SCOTLAND.
Net Observed There Twenty-Five
Years AqO.

There was no Christmas in Scotland
twenty.fyes years ago. New Years
day was the gala day. 1t was thought
sacrilegious to observe the birthday of
Christ and the more so, when nobody
could tell whether the 25th of Decem-
ber was the day on which the Savior
was born. I remember the first re-
ligious service held in Presbyterian
Scotland on Christmas day. It was
about twenty years ago and was con
Quoted by DR.. Walter Smith of the
High Church, Edinburgh. I did not
attend the service but the papers next
day said there was great crowd of
the 'smore giddy element of society,
gathered to look with curiosity on the
newest heresy."
DR.. Smith, VINO still lives and preach
es in Edinburgh, is a very broad
minded man and determined to break
through what he regarded as superti-
tions. There we're thoughts of bring
ing him before the Presbytery for de-
parture from Presbyterian polity, but
that was never done and to-day half
the Presbyterian churches in Scotland
hold service on Christmas day. Times
change and we change with them.
After it was found that the church
no longer wished to put her foot on
the observance of Christmas, these
Christmas church services began to be
general. A new phase of the observ-
ance was ushered in by the advent of
the Christmas card. The only mis-
sive of this kind known in Scotland
before that time W 8 the valentine
sent on the 14th of February. A
Scotch valentine did not necessarily
mean that there was ardent love be-
hind it, nor were valentines at all con-
fined to pass between the opposite
sexes. A valentine, though originally
inspired by Cupid, might be merely a
reminder of friendship and was often
sent between friends who wished to
keep up some communication with
one another, but who we're not so close
ly bound as to practice stated cor
respondence by letter. The valentine
was often plain card Of good wishes,
: About fifteen years ago the valen-
tine suddenly disappeared and the
Christmas card stepped gracefully in
to it's shoes. Like the valentine, to
begin with, it was sent only to distant
friends, but in two or three years time
it became q craze and absorbed the
attention of the country for week or
two before Christmas in way that
was detrimental to every other kind of

full strains from the Mendelssohn
wedding march, played on the organ
by Miss Maud Waters of Morton, a
friend of the bride and groom. It
was performed with the happy couple
standing under an arch of draperies
and lace curtains and in the presence
of about so relatives and friends of
the bride and groom, large number
of the old settlers of the county being
noticeably present to present their
compliments to the mother and bride.
Miss Birum wore beautiful trav-
cling gown of Dresden suiting, with
trimmings of brown velvet and jetted
chiffon. She carried hand bouquet
of yellow and pink roses, while roses
we're entwined in her hair. Her maid
was Miss Matte Bigham of this city,
who wore gown OF suiting and who
carried bunch of yellow and pink
roses in her hand. Herbert Birum, q
brother of the bride, acted as best
man for the occasion.
After the ceremony the entire party
was escorted in carriages or otherwise
to Hotel Weiss, where an elaborate
collation. was served as wedding
breakfast. Mrs. Weiss and daughter,
who had charge of this end of the
wedding, fairly outdid themselves in
catering to the welded people and
their guests. Everything pertaining
to wedding feast was served to the
merry people present, and the two
groups pondered over the menu card
at length. It was II 80 o'clock when
the breakfast was concluded and the
party escorted Mr.. Berkimer and his
bride to the st. Louis station, where,
amid a terrific shower of rice and other
good luck emblems, they boarded the
east bound train for Northern Iowa,
where the couple will visit with Mr..
Berkimer's parents for several weeks,
after which they will return to Min
neapolis, where they will reside in the
future.

THE BIGGEST Day YET.
Over LOO Hogs and 300 Birds
Received Here Last Monday
Fair Day.
Stores Crowded to Their Utmost
Capacity by Bargain
Seekers.

That was brilliant spectacle for
the eyes of farmers. land lbusiness men
to behold-that of last Monday. Side
walks and business houses filled with
people, business houses filled with
eager purchasers, streets lined with
superb draft and driving teams, hand
some rigs, etc., back..alleys..and every
vacant spot in the city, as we'll as all
of the livery and feed:stables, filled or
covered with teams. Everybody gazed
on with a happy smile, because every
body saw happy smile on the face
of his neighbor. The era::::of good
feeling was everywhere prevalent. The
producer was realizing a fair price on
his wheat, good price on his hogs,
and in return was buying goods nee
essary for winter use ..and holiday
trimmings at price as low as good
money could buy them anywhere.
The prices we're on all week. It was
general rush to Clear business hous,
es of Christmas goods and eager pat
rons took advantage of the low prices
and focked to the stores in droves.
They kept it up on Tuesday and
Wednesday and were still filing into
the stores when The GAZETTE went to
press.
Out of town people commenced
coming in early in the morning, and
when the first sound of reveille to the
band was heard there was a large
crowd already on the streets. The
band got down to business at 10
o'clock and before the organization
finished it's third selection teams COM
menced pouring into town from every
direction. Teams loaded with human
beings, men, women and children,
teams loaded with hogs of all breeds
and kinds. The latter went direct to
the stockyards. The prize for the
big hog was carried off by S. j. Com
stock of Morton, who brought in an
immense Chester White SOW weighing
$40 pounds. Thos. Mckay brought
in black hog but it failed to pass
that mark. The prize for the largest
herd of hogs went to Michael Donlan
who brought in herd of 81 head.
The prize for the finest lot of hogs
went to A. B. Pike who brought in a
drove of IL hogs, which commanded
the top notch of the market price.
Daniel Mckay brought in aerd of
five, excelled only in point of num-
bers by those of Mr.. Pixies.
The prize for the best single rig
driven by gentleman was won by
Murry Warner; for the best single rig
driven by lady to Miss Jessie Wal
ton. The prize for the best double rig
was awarded to Murry Warner. No
lady drove for honors under this
class. The sweepstakes premium was
awarded to Fred Bluhm of Morton,
while the prize for the best draft
team was awarded to Thos. Mckay.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1896-12-24

had been dnmped into the yards and
paid for at the rate of $2.7O, So 80, and
$3.50 per hundred weight. The prices
we're governed by the size of the hogs,
those animals weighing from 200 to
$50 pounds, good and fat, command
ing the top price. The larger hogs
commanded the lowest price.
The wagons and sleds commenced
putting in an appearance at eight o.
clock. The first team had no more
than arrived and emptied before an
other was there to take its place. By
ten o'clock it became necessary to put
them in file in order to have them
dumped according to the time at
which they appeared. At IL o'clock
there was a string of teams reaching
from the eastern end of the stock yard
to the Northwestern derrick, a distance
of about quarter of a mile, At one
o'clock it was necessary to keep some
of the teams on the north side of the
track. This hour was high water
mark. The number began to dimin-
ish.
Up at the stock yards Emil Schmahl
under whose excellent management,
the Redwood market has been placed
superior to any market in this section
of the State, W ia crew of helpers,
was busily engaged in weighing the
hogs and turning them off into the
several yards. Mr.. Schmahl did the
weighing and fixed the price, while
W. D. Martin attended to the figuring,
filled out the checks, which we're
signed by Mr.. Schmahl and passed
over to the farmers as fast as their
stock was weighed in. George Thomp-
son, John Stewart, Albert johnson
and two more helpers we're engaged
in sorting out the animals, and filling
up the six different yards preparatory
to loading. Agent Beecher came ov-
or occasionally to take in the sights
and to remark that Redwood Falls
was the only town in the State. Dav-
id Whittett and Andrew Stewart of
Delhi we're taking in the fun and in
cidentally remarking that Mr.. Schmahl
was paying very near to St. Paul prices
for the animals and that in Redwood
Falls alone could square market be
found.
The loading commenced at four
o'clock. Seven cars were loaded all
that the Northwestern could furnish.
A number of hogs we're resold by Mr..
Schmahl to John Cooper an6 Clark
Shaver for fattening purposes, while
the remainder we're not shipped out
until Tuesday afternoon. Mr..
Schmahl's checks for the day aggre-
gated nearly S6,uOO.
M. A. Donlan, who won the prize
for the largest herd of hogs delivered
by any one person, is a meat market
man at Morton.
At G. W. Georges poultry stables
there was also real life. During the
day Mr.. George took in and paid for
in cash over 800 turkeys and in the
neighborhood of 1000 chickens. He
paid six cents per pound, live weight,
for the birds.
