MARRIAGE BELLS.

A very pleasant home wedding
occurred at the Steele county
residence of Butler & Upton on
the LIST day of June, when Miss
Idella NJ. Wilson and Mr.. William
IL Butler were joined in the
bonds of wedlock. The company
composed the immediate families
of the bride and groom. The
contracting parties entered the
room at five o'clock p. M, and
the ceremony was performed by
Rev. Oscar D. Purinton. After
hearty congratulations the COM
pany sat down to a sumptuous
supper, and a pleasant social
hour, which was only marred by
the painful illness of Mrs. Viii
son, mother of the bride. Mr..
and Mrs. Butler will reside for
the present upon the home farm
where they will be at home to
their many friends. The groom
is well known in both Griggs
and Steele counties. He is the
son of 3. G. Butler, and a young
man of whom any community
might well feel proud. He is at
present the efficient county
superintendent of schools of
Steele county, being elected to
that Office by a large majority at
the general election last fall.
That the people of Steele county
made no mistake by electing him
is apparent from the efficient and
business like manner in which he
conducts the affairs of this inn
portant Office. The Courier ex-
tends to Mr.. Butler and his
bride, it's heartiest congratula-
tions. May their lives be
crowned with success; may the
sun of prosperity always light
up their pathway, and the star of
happiness be their beacon light
all through life.

complete course of study has been
arranged. including the subjects re-
quired for county certificates, and
Supt. Darius Stewart, of the Fargo
city schools, has been selected as con-
ductor.
Several applications have been re-
ceived for work not provided for in

school. These classes will be organic
ed at the same time and for the same
period as the training school.
For this work fee of $500 will be
charged for each subject. The work
will be so arranged that students may
attend part of the classes in the train
lug school, and devote the remainder
of their time to special work. This
gives an excellent opportunity for
students to make up back work, or to
fit themselves for special lines.
The term will continue four weeks
with recitations six days week, and
students doing work in the laborator-
les may put in several hours each day.
Courses will be offered in the follow
ing: Higher algebra, solid geometry,
plane trigonometry, English litera-
ture, advanced rhetoric; advanced
physics, including laboratory prac-
tice; drawing-I. Freehand. II. Per-
spective, (a) pencil shading, (b) pen
and ink. III. Water colors; elements
of botany, elements of zoology.
The college is conveniently located,
being little more than a mile from
the business portion of the city, with
which it is connected by a good side
walk. The grounds are made attrac-
tive by trees, shrubbery and flowers.
The class rooms are commodious, the
laboratories thoroughly equipped, ex-
penses are low, and no effort will be
'sparea to make the term q profitable
one for all who attend.
Arrangements will be made for an
excursion to Detroit Lake at q CHEAP
rate, thus giving an opportunity for a
pleasant outing during the term.
