The wonderful sagacity of the
dumb brute was beautifully exem-

blind man from Grand Junction,
Iowa, arrived in Extra and was ac-
companied by a dog that had
chain attached to his collar and
wherever the blind man wanted to
go he wolld tell him what he want
and the animal would pike straight

On Tuesday morning they were
passengers on the north bound

ingly contented and happy.
On last Monday morning the
Misses Lena and Edith Harden
brook, accompanied by Mr.. Burton
Cosgrove, left for Oklahoma CityII
Ross Hardenbrook going as far as
far as Weatherford with them, Ross
returned looking wise but said
nothing, yet it looked suspicious
to us and by slight draw on our
imaginary powers we could hear
wedding bells in the distance. In
vestigation proved, however, that
on Tuesday, November "a, 1900, at
two O'Clock p. NJ. Miss Edith Har-
denbrook and Mr.. Cosgrove were
united in marriage at the Methodist
parsonage in Oklahoma City, the
Rev. Brombaugh officiating.
The bride is the daughter of one
of our druggists, Mr.. George Hair
denbrook, and young lady who
has the esteem and admiration of
all who knew her. She is Jealous
christian, and is one of the head
officials of the Epworth League, at
this place. The groom came here
some six months ago from Illinois
and located with us, and is mem
Der of the of the ]. B. Nicholas Real

moral and straightforward young
man, having good business qualifi-
cations and the means to do bust
ness with. He has farm two miles
west of town and has nice new
residence just complete, and is now
in position to enjoy life as it
should be. The Clarion joins their
many friends in wishing them
long, happy and prosperous we'd

through life be only such as will be
pleasing in His sight who watches
over and cares for all.--Arapahoe,
Oklahoma, Clarion.
The above announcement of the
marriage of Miss Edith Harden
brook will be quite surprise to
her many friends here, for it was
here in Extra that the lady passed
her early childhood days, at the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Hardenbrook, on north
Park street, and one can hardly rea-
lie that she is now wife, so rapid
is the flight of time. We can hearth
ly echo all the good things that the
editor of The Clarion says about
the bride, and go farther and say.
that in no land is there lady bet
ter fitted to fill the sacred place of
wife than Miss Edith. She has an
army of friends up this way who
wish her and her chosen life com
panion all the choicest blessings
vouchsafed to the people of this
earth, and rich inheritance in that
land beyond the grave where moths
do not corrupt, nor thieves break
through and steal.
