Our correspondent south of the
Snowies last week foreshadowed the
wedding of the Irene school teacher
to a resident of that section. The
lady is Miss Emma Shea, of Lewis
town, and we have since learned that
the groom will be Ed. L. Ashley and
that the wedding will occur on Fri
day of this week. Miss Shea has
been very popular about Lewistown
and in the sections where she has
been engaged as teacher, while Mr..
Ashley is known as a young man of
exemplary habits, the pOssessor Of a
thriving wool growing business and
withal a pleasant gentleman, who
has a great number of friends to wish
him all the joys of married life.

Labor day, which was observed
Monday last. is the only National
holiday in this country, that Is, 1t Ia
the only holiday which has been de
clared such by Other days,
such as Fourth of July, Christmas
and Washington's birthday arr
observed merely by general consent
while Thanksgiving il made a hOli.
| day by proclamation Of the president
and of the governors Of the different
states. 1t is argued that even Labor
day is not a national holiday as the
government has no means of enfOrc
ing it's observance by the citi zens o
| the state, but nevertheless, 1t is thu
only holiday which the national law
makers have sought to have estab
lished by law.
Edmund Wright, manager OF thu
Lewistown ball team this morning
sent a third and last challenge to tn,
Benton team. Considering thai

boys should do as well, and the frs
requirement il that the BentOn'l
pay all expenses of the LewistOwnl
in playing a game on the former
grounds, the 10Th inst. Should they
do this, the Lewistown team will
further agree to pay 500 toward tn
expenses of the Benton team in com
ing and returning from LewistowI

to $3.50 on the best two out O
