GLENNDAIE, ArlZ., F0D. I.-VopeCldl Correspondence of The Republican.)- The Betz building is rapidly nearing completion. The fact that the upper part of this building has been built ex- pressly for lodge purposes, has created considerable activity among the mem bers of the various secret orders here Both the Masons and the Odd Fellows are numerously represented and will probably institute lodges here in the near future. Every citizen interested in the growth and prosperity of the town, whether lodge member or not, should be glad to see these lodges started. They constitute an unques- tionable proof of the progress and per manence of the town, and will ma terially strengthen the forces that are making Glendale what we firmly be- lieve it will be, a town conspicuous for morality and respect for law and or der.
 Last night at the home of the brides parents, Rev. Peter Forney performed the ceremony that united in marriage two of our most popular yaung peo- pie, Wm M Meyers and Miss Jennie c. Miller. The wedding was a quiet one, only members of the families be- ing present, but the friends of the l couple made up for it after the cere- mony by an old fashioned charivari, in which cowbeIls and tin pans were | the chief instruments of torture The happy pair will commence housekeep- | ing at once in the cosy home recently erected iby the groom. We all like to see the young people happy and hope | that Hymen will keep the marriage bells ringing.
 w. D. Hammon, the Phoenix hay and grain man, drove up Wednesday on business.
 HI. w. Ryder shipped a car of hay Wednesday morning and Goldman & Go. car of barley. The latter firm will ship another car of barley tomor- row morning.
 Rev. e. F. Bovard, presiding elder of the Methodist church for this confer ence, arrived on Wednesdays train to look after matters connected with the vacancy in the church here. He will remain over Sunday and will probably hold service in the school house.
 Good Templars initiated one candi- date Tuesday evening and installed the new officers for the quarter. This lodge now has forty-four members and is growing steadily.
 Rev. c. l.. Kloss of Kansas City will deliver lecture in the school house Friday evening, February IA, entitled "One Thousand Miles in Europe on a Bicycle" MT Kloss has delivered this lecture in Phoenix and Tempe and al, who have heard it describe it as a great treat.
 s. H. Blackburn one of our popular rerchants-not the man who is having such hard game in Kentucky now i will leave fir O.d Mexico next week on pleasure t-:D. lis intentions are not known, but he's fairly good looking, s9 maybe Cupid hasn't given him up i entirely yet.
 Glendale should be represented at the midwinter carnival in Phoenix. I suggest that the Glendale livestock association get up a float, illustrating the products in which this part of the valley eXcels. Of course, give the hog l the seat of honor, for at his shrine we all worship. but group around him our other staples, dried fruits and rais.ns, | barley and wheat. The time for prep aration is short, so let those most in terested in Glendale get together and devise float that will rival any in the parade SENEX.
