concerned and their friends, the
ceremony that makes two hearts one,
is looked forward to with the great
est interest. Thus it was last Mon
day evening, Dec. 25th, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Jackson,
of this city, when one of their daugh-
ters, Miss Mary Pollard Jackson, was
united in marriage to Mr.. Herbert J.

Miss Margaret NJ. Penberthy. of

dress of dark material, trimmed with
beautiful lace. Only the immediate
relatives of the two families with
Mrs. Kent Mr.. John Jackson and
Miss Penberthy were present. Sell

than the one set before the company
and to which all did ample Justice.
The numerous wedding presents con-
sisted of a handsome bed room suite,
dinner and tea sets of pretty china,
a handsome mahogany arm chair,
rug for parlor, hat rack, silverware

and beautiful. Immediately after
the marriage ceremony the pastor
baptized Wendall Lloyd, the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly.
In recent issue of the De Smet,
(South Dakota) News is found the
following highly complimentary no.
tice of a son of Phil Lawrence, a
former resident of Mineral Point:
The recent term of court has
brought one young lawyer promi-
nently before the general public. We
of this place have known for some
time that he was as good as the best
of them and now it is admitted by
al who have heard him that he is
one of the coming lawyers Of the
state. The gentleman to whom we
refer is Mr.. Aubrey Lawrence. He
was attorney in most of the import
ant cases tried in the recent court
and he was match for any of them.
Hamlin county has Il lawyer whom
she may be proud of and readers
there is no need of going out of the
county for legal advice. We con-
gratulate Mr.. Lawrence on his sue
cess; he has fairly earned it by close
application to the work and study
and his reward is sure to come
The custom of Christmas giving,
like that of making wedding gifts,
has been carried to such an extreme
as 10 become burdensome not only to
the giver but to the receiver. Many
people are inclined to overlook the
true secret of Christmas giving
which should be an expression Of

eXtravagant display.
From present indications the
concert and dance to be given by our
band, at Linden Monday, Jan. lst,
will he largely attended. And it
should be, as it will prove one of the
leading events of the present winter
for the people of that village and vi
cinity.
Frank Suthers, whose fame as an
expert attache of the State Fish
Hatchery extends to all quarters of
Badgerdom, has been home with
keen appetite for Christmas cakes,
puddings, etc. His wife and the lit
tie ones came several days ahead
of him.
1t is reported that the Ida mine,
near Benton, has struck blackjack
below the glass rock. If so, this is
the first Jack at that random in La
Fayette county. So says a Shulls-
burg paper. At Linden large de-
