the church Of Christ OBLIGATED. The
house was very ta~stefully decorated.
The presents were from far and near,
many In number and very choice. The
supper was replete with the viands of
the season and the serenade by the
band was its choicest music. The
"Longhingrin" wedding march was
played by Miss Mary Miner. Our con.
gratulations go heartily to this worthy
couple.
The numerous fakirs who have made
this town in the last few weeks and
have piled their trade with such good
luck have created considerable com
ment in regard to the amount of Ii.

here. The two fellows who we're here

cense. We don't believe that any
amount of license money can be charg-
ed which would make the business OF
these fellows legitimate as against u

places OF business, hire clerks and pay
taxes to keep up our city. We do be-
lieve that an ordinance could be passed
naming a large enough license Ia keep
these fellows from operating at all. II
it is right and according to law to
charge these fellows two dollars per
day 1t is right to charge them s25 per
day, or a sum sufficient to make them
' quit the town without operating. The
town Of Beaver City makes fellows of
this class put up S25 per day and assess
es a license Of $50 per day on a circus
and 1t would be we'll for our G )uncil to
do the same thing.
