This week we are permitted to
chronicle the marriage of Mr.. Peter
Fredricksen to Miss Maud Wright
both of Kimballton, the happy
event occurring at Harlan last Thurs
day. 1t came as surprise to their
many friends here who turned out
Saturday evening and gave them an
old fashioned chivari. The bride is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. N. A.
Wright and young lady who has
grown to womanhood in Audubon
county. Mr.. Fredricksen is bright
young man with good position and
possesses that spirit of honesty and in
tegrity that goes to make up man
of the right calibre. Twas natural
that Pete and Maud should wed,
they had been warm friends for
many a day and their friendship thus
terminates in an undying love.
They start out in the bloom of youth
and have long life OF usefulness be-
fore them. May their pathway ever
be lighted with sunshine and their
blessings be bountiful is the tribute
of the journal sinner. Mr.. and Mrs.
Fredricksen have already gone to
housekeeping in the Bertelsen house
at Kimballton where they will be at
home to their many friends.

matrimonial voyage with the best
wishes of all.
Why don't the dear people of Bray
ton and Oakfield get together and Or
ganize debating club or literary So
ciety this winter. No place in Iowa
possesses better advantages for having
something along this line than does
Brayton. There is plenty of good
timber here and the right kind too to
make very interesting and lnstruc-
tive lyceum. We would like to see
some person or persons, rather, take
hold of this matter, and push it to
successful finish. There is certainly
no doubt but what these organiza-
tions add greatly in developing the
minds of both the old and the young
who give it their assistance.
From Tuesdays Telegraph we
learn that man by the name of
Gochanour and wife, living near
Highland church north of Anita,
were in Atlantic Monday after an lS-
year-old runaway boy. They were
at the depot looking to see if he went
| away vi any VI IuC WCSI Ooulil
trains. They claimed that he came
there early that morning on horse
back with the intention of joining a
Mrs. Taylor and her 16-year-
daughter of Anita, and accompany
them to Nebraska, where he would
marry the girl. Shortly after noon
Mrs. Taylor and the girl crme to the
depot and bought two tickets for Fort
Collins, Colorado, where it is claim
ed they have relatives. They de-
parted on No. 5, for the West, but
the boy did not put in an appearance
His parents were at the depot wait
ing for him and doubtless he was
frightened away. His father stated
that he would have the whole party
arrested if the boy attempted to leave
with the Taylors. The parents OBJ
ject not only to such young mar
riage but also because they greatly
dislike the Taylors.-Anita Herald.
