ger were married at the home of the
bride last Wednesday. Justice H.
Stein officiating. Eddie is anoth-
er one of our young men who has set
tied down to the serious problem of
life and who feels that truly. Mid
pleasures and palaces, There's no
place like home" The bride is we'll
known hereabouts and is a refined and
womanIy young lady We wish the
young couple much JOY.
Our Mishicot friend of the Tribune
despairs of the Literary and Social
Circle Be comforted dear friend. the
old Circle only needs a little house
cleaning" that's all. Those who are
in it ''for pleasure only" while others
pay for that pleasure, need but to be
made to form a grand march and
move on" thus leaving the coast clear
for desirable members who recognize
the justice of paying their dues. Then
and then only will the Circle regain
its old time position as standing in
stitution of this village
Mr.. Nelson the blind violinist who
accompanies Mr.. Langenkamp (who
is also blind on his concert tours is
master of the art. His music is full
of life and feeling and his control of
his instrument is perfect. No less
praise is due Mr.. Langenkamp who
really performs wonders upon the
piano. His dexterous fingers and
delicate touch cali forth the very best
tones the piano is capable Of Both
these unfortunate young nen are
splendid musicians and richly deserve
the cordial support of the public.
Another resignation! Mr. o. Boett
cher who had engaged to teach the
School Section school resigned" or
rather initiated the new fashion of
throwing no contract which fashion
has become SO prevalent of late So
long AS school boards receive bids
from teachers and give the Job" 20
the lowest bidder, SO long may they
expect these occasional inconveni-
ences. We can hardly blame these
yonng persons who. sharing the com
mon superstition concerning the rapid
and easy accumulation of wealth by
teachers, accept these beggarly schools
and after a short time find ont that
their wages will hardly cover their
ordinary professional expenses, Then
they resign" bat the interchangeable
school board soon inds such another
one" and the story goes on. Tn the
meantime the older teachers become
rare
