At half-past two o'clock yesterday
afternoon the marriage Of Mr.. William
Robinson and Miss Minnie Colts took
place at the residence of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Colts, ON
Central avenue. The wedding was
quiet home affair, only few intimate
lady friends of the bride, aside from
the immediate family, being present to
witness the consummation of the nup-
tial knot. The Rev. Mr.. Coffey, Of the
First Presbyterian church, said the inn
pressive words that made the estimable
couple man and wife. Mr.. and Mrs.
Robinson left Immediately after the
ceremony for their future home at
Franklin, Ind, where they will be
followed by the best wishes of a host
of friends. The bride is an estimable
young lady who has for some years oc-
cupied the responsible position of day
operator at the Bell telephne exchange
in this city, and the groom is secre-
tary of the Franklin Window Glass
Company in the Hoosier town, lucra-
tive office Of trust for which his capa-
bility and business sagacity well fits
him.
The fair and festival to be given by
the Daughters Of Liberty at Armory
hall, will begin next Monday and con-
tinue each evening until the succeed
ing Monday. Elaborate preparations
are being made for the affair, which
will no doubt be a success. There will
be good music and dancing each even
ing, and the public generally is invited
to be present.
The store room of G. Trolls Sons, at
st. Clairsville Junction, was broken in
to and robbed Saturday night. The
store was closed as usual after the
days business and was not visited
again by those in charge until some
time the next day, when the robbery
was discovered. The thieves carried
off quite quantity of clothing and pro-
visions, making good their escape with
out being seen. No clue has been Sc
cured to lead to the identity Of the
miscreants
Since the Nash meeting was such a
fiasco, the committee has decided to
make another attempt next Saturday
night They evidently feel desperate
and having plenty of swag, will blow
it in on a second rally" The speeches
of Gill, Nash and Congressman White
appear to have been unsatisfactory, else
why the necessity for a repetition? 1t
is an open confession of failure and all
effort to cover only emphasizes the
fact and makes the committee the joke
of the campaign. Weems will be
brought here to put on the finishing
touches and mend all of the big blum
ders made by the other speakers, and
this reminds us: If Weems can do
more for his party than White, Nash
and Gill combined, why wasn't he the
nominee for Congress instead of being
made to play second fiddle to men who
have no sympathy or influence with
the rank and file of the voters? Re-
publicans who think along these lines
will run into a ghost that will rise to
haunt Mr.. Gill on election day.
