On Saturday last Pres. Mckinley
appointed NJ. B. Kent postmaster of
Elk Point for the term of four years.
Mr.. Kent has always been an ardent
republican, was an old soldier, and
secured a more popular endorsement
for the position than any other c&ndi-
date. He has fairly earned the APP
pointment, and will give the patrons
of the Office painstaking and efficient
service. While there are always some,
no matter what is done, who would
prefer some other arrangement. we be-
lieve this appointment is as good one
as could have been made, everything
taken into consideration. Mr.. Kent is
expecting his commission every day.
The many friends of Mr.. Charles S.
Bovee and Miss Louella Bland were
somewhat surprised last Thursday by
the announcement that they were mar
ried the day previous in Yxnkton. 1t
happened something like this: They
boarded the morning train Wednesday
for Yaukton, ostensibly to take in the
State Fair, but in reality for the pur-
pose of participating in quiet happy
wedding. Arriving in YanktOn, Charley
made all haste TO the clerk OF courts
Office and procured marriage license.
He then hunted up Rev. Dyk, the
Episcopal rector, and in u short time
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. S. Bovee were on their
way to the fair grounds. They re-
turned home Friday night and have
since been receiving the congratula-
tiOns of their friends. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bovee will 60 to housekeeping next
week in the Cheever Blair residence
on east Main street.
We call special attention to the
"Notice to School Patrons" found in
another column. Prof. French is
making laudable effort 70 get the
patrons of our schools to make per-
sonal inspection Of the work Is it is
being done. Such plan as he here
suggests, if patrons will cooperate
heartily. will result in greater interest
and harmony between teacher and
parent in the work for the children, as
well AS proving an encouragement to
the pupils themselves. Cut out this
notice and paste it in your hat, and let
nothing prevent you from meeting
