of paralysis Christmas eve. For a time

him, bat we are glad to state that at pres
emit he Is improving. Mr.. Grimes is one

Kansas City Times: James Goodwin,
OF Alma, and Miss Florence Stewart, of
Blackburn, were married December %,
1897, at the home of the officiating min
lister, the Rev. Franc Mitchell, on East
Walnut street In Kansas City. The mar
-la.a re .ok m aIoaonnanf hnf the
young people desired to escape the form
atty AID publicity OF a wedding at home,
and took this curse In order to avoid 1t.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Good
win left Immediately for Brookfield, Mo-,
where they will spend their honeymoon.
Both of the parties are we'll known and
highly respected In the community to
which they belong.
Another Central College graduate, we'll
known to the young people of Lexington,
has fallen a victim to the little armed
GOD. Miss Wayne Baker, of Odessa, was
united 10 marriage to Mr.. J. 8. Worley, OF
the same city, at the Midland hotel in
Kansas City, Decemper %. Miss Baker
attended school at Central, and while here
made many warm friends among the
young people of our city. She Is talented
and bright, and ls a great favorite with all
who know her. The groom Is one of
Odessa's young business men, and is gain
ing for himself an enviable reputation in
the mercantile life OF that city. The IN
TELLIoENoER unites with their many
friends here In extending warmest con-
gratuiations, add hopes they may find
life's rugged pathway strewn with roses.
No trace Is left of tine hole which was
recently made In the east side OF the
county Jail by one of the large stones in
the wall scaling and falling out. Mr..
Mulligan had the contract for repairing
the break, and when he flashed his work
you could not see where any break had
been. A large stone had to be raised and
put Ia from the side, and the task was not
q small one. Tue iron grating which
forms the east wall of the corridor had to
At down into the stone several inches, |
and his made placing It In shape ex-
tremely difficult. Mr.. Mulligan got the
In and fitted II 70 perfectly that he
deserves much credit for his work. He Is
one of the best stone masons In the state,
and the solid stone masses which be has
erected in different parts Of the city will
stand as monuments of his skill
and Workmanship.
Since hearing the excellent music rem
dered by the Lexington band Christmas
day, our citizens are more DESTROYS than
ever before to hear the boys 10 the con
cert which they have promised to give at
the opera house some time In the near
The band boys have made a
wonderful improvement during the win
ter months, and the music which they
now furnish Is excellent. Say, boys, why
you set the date for that concert,
and give as an opportunity to show our
appreciation of the concerts you furnished
as free iast summer We don'tthink there
IL a msu, woman or child In this city who,
after enjoying your free concerts during
all OF last summer, would not consider 1t
1 pleasure to pay you to give one at the
opera house. They would not only have
music, but would also be permitted to
pay a small part of the debt of gratitude
which they feel they owe.
