II. U. Sweppenheiser, of Centre,
lost valuable horse on Sunday. 1t
appears that about three weeks ago
the animal, while tied at post was
bitten by mad dog said to belong to
Joseph Fausey, the same dog that bit
the Kline girl and colored boy at
Espy. Mr.. Sweppenheiser was very
careful and watched his horse closely
to discover, if possible, any symptoms
of madness. All seemed right until
Sunday when the animal became mad
and could not be controlled. All was
done for it that they could possibly
think of, but of no avail, and as a last
resort it was shot.

was met at the north end Of the
parlor by the groom and Rev. Barrett.

ceremony dainty refreshments were
served in the dining room.
g Miss Bessie hast hosts of friends
and admirers in the city where she
has passed so many years of her girl
hood and all join in good wishes for
her future. Though only relatives
and most intimate friends of the bride
were hidden to the wedding, the gifts
were many and valuable, testifying
to the high regard in which the bride
is held.
Mr.. Bachelor is one of our promi-
nent business men and stands well in
the esteem of all. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bachelor left for their new home in
the west side in the midst of a shower

For my part I DO not ask any

But | do ask for the remonetiza-
ton of silver. Silver was de-
monetized b. fraud. 1t was an
