Brilliant Nuptlals.

Zion Chapel, M. E. Church. Ironton,

tial event last Thursday evening, Feb
ruary %. when Miss Susan Jarrett,
eldest daughter of Mrs. Lizzie Jarrett,
became the bride of Mr.. T. Martin
both the contracting parties are of
Ironton. Mo.
The bride entered leaning on the
arm of the groom. She was preceded
by the groomsmau and maid of honor
in order named. They marched to
the altar where the ceremony was i'm
pressively performed by Rev. g. M.
Toney, pastor of Zion Chapel. The
bride, who is a great favorite in society
circles, wore gown of gray broad
cloth en- train, trimmed with pink
satin and white chiffon braid. Her
yell was caught up with a garland of
white wax pinks, and she carried a
shower bouquet of white roses and
lilies of the valley. The groom was
attlred in the conventional black and
carried pink carnation. The maid of
honor was gowned in white chiffon
over green silk, and carried violets.
The groom is a young man endowed
with a pure character and manly dis
position.
A reception followed the ceremony
which was given by the BRIDES sister,
Mrs. Robert Blanks, at which sixty
guests were present. The table was
was handsomely decorated with ger
anium and potted plants. The guests
proceeded to the dining room where
an elegant collation. was served.
The bride received large collection
of handsome and valuable presents.
including a variety of silverware, cut
glass articles and pictures.
Many people witnessed the cere-
mony, which was indeed a brilliant
affair. May they live long to enjoy
the vow between them made, is the |
wish of the writer.

those of Jesus in similar case. The
sword never was made an instrument
for evangelization by Him of Nazareth.
He did not advocate the killing of men
in order to win them to the fold. If
the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon is anxious to
''Christianize a barbarous people" we
beg him to begin right at home. We
assure him there are enough ..bar-
barians" in this country to require the
full attention of all the Christian evan
gelists in the land. By the time they
get through with the home job maybe
the millennium will have come, and the
use of the sword be rendered unneces-
sary in Christianizing other .'barbar-

THE Desloge Search Light takes the
public into It's confidence. saying
Down yonder in the Transvaal the
tide seems to be turning We still be-
lieve that the cause of civilization and
human progress will be best served by
the success of the British arms.
Surely! But isn't it wonderful how
the "cause of civilization and human
progress" can give righteousness and
merit to things intrinsically wicked?
Does nation covet the possessions of
its weaker neighbor? Robbery, mur-
der. rapine and arson are at once con-
secrated in the event to the sacred
''cause of civilization and human pro-
gress." If God has planted diamond
field or a gold mine in the territory
belonging to tribe or people too poor
or too peace-loving to devote their
energies and savings to the accumula-
tion of costly modern weapons of war

owners be dispossessed at the cost of
their lives and the desolation of their
humble homes. Beside, Republics, If
weak, are the legitimate prey of 1.-The
Lords aunointed." Even some per-
sons calling themselves Americans are
sufficiently progressive to recognize
and admit this, and we have no doubt
that if England, that once upon time
devastated these shores aud gave the
families of the Revolutionary Fathers
over to the tender mercies of the savage
In6ians-of course. In the s'cause of CIV
ilization and human progress"-if I'm
perial England were to become strong
enough to conquer and did conquer the |
American Republic, some people might |
be found somewhere in the world |
who would rejoice that 1.-THE cause of

been given another boost. AND so it |
goes: no cause so despotic and unjust
but it has it's specious plea of de-
tense. Civilization-Progres Chris

SAYS Mark Hanna, the King-Maker
and Boss of the Republican party:
This cry against trusts is the work
of cheap demagogues.
Says the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States:
at is not for the real prosperity of
any country that such changes should
occur which result in Transforming an
important business man, the head of
his establishment, small though it may
be, into a mere servant or agent of a
corporation for selling the commodi-
ties which be once manufactured or
dealt in, having no voice In shaping
the business policy OF the company and
bound to obey orders issued by others.
Nor is il for the substantial interests
of the country that any one commodity
should be within the sole power and
subject to the sole will of the combi-
nation of capital"

Court at an early day, and then it will
discard its old-fashloned notions and
attune itself to latter-day Republican

A MOVEMENT is on foot to have Con-
gress pass law admitting parcels OF
merchandise to the mail at a very low
rate of postage. Among the argu-
ments used is the fact that in Great
Britain the postage on parcels is six
cents for the first pound and two cents
for each additional pound, up to eleven
pounds. which is the limit. thus max
ing the cost of sending an 11-pound
package So cents. The postal service
of the United States has a deficit now
of 100000 90 year for operating
expenses, and that deficit would be
two or three times larger if such a law
was enacted, and the people would pay
the shortage. 1t is a scheme of the
big department stores of the larger
cities to ruin the trade of the country
