Pretty Home Wedding SOlemniz-
ed Thursday Afternoon.

A very pretty home wedding was
solemnized Thursday afternoon at
4 o'clock at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. r. Williams, in this village
when their niece, Miss Annie
Williams, became the bride OF Mr..
Harry A. Miller, of Calumet. The
wedding was attended only by the
relatives and few intimate friends
of the bride and groom, and the
words which united the two loving
hearts, were spoken by Rev. ]. M.
Shank, pastor of the NJ. e. church.
The residence was beautifully
decorated with cut flowers, smilax
and ferns. The back parlor,
in which the ceremony took
place, being prettily arranged
with pink and white roses, the ad-
joining room with red roses,
and the dining room with red
and white carnations. The bay
window, in which the young
couple stood during the ceremony,
was draped with portiers of smilax.
The bride was attired in a beautiful
white swiss gown, was unat-
tended, and carried a bunch of
white hyacinths. ~
After the words were spoken pro-
nouncing the young couple husband
and wife, they were heartily con-
graduated by those present, after
which the wedding supper was
served.
The bride has resided in L'Anse
for about ten years, but during the
past year has held clerkship in the
office of the secretary of state, at
Lansing. She is an accomplished
young lady, beloved by all who
know her, and will be greatly
missed in this community.
The groom is an attorney at law, a
recent graduate of the University of
Michigan, and about SIX months
ago established an office in Calumet,
where he is meeting with excellent
success.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller left on the
4 o'clock train for Calumet, where.
they will be at home after February
18th, at COZ Pine street.
They have the best wishes of
their host of friends for future
happiness and prosperity.

The New Graphite Mini Started
Up Tuesday-Will be Running o
Full Blast Early Next Week,
A PERMANENT INDUSTRY
Capacity of Mill will Doubtless be
Increased in the Near Future
Unlimited Supply OF Ore.

The Hathaway Graphite Manu-
featuring Company has completed
the work OF putting in it's new mill,
which was started up Tuesday, and
early next week it is expected the
mill will be running full blast. The
work of arranging the building,
water power system, and putting
everything in first-class shape has
proven q greater task and consumed
more time than anticipated, bat the
plant is now in excellent condition
for doing steady business, and will
be pushed to it's full capacity.
During the time consumed in ar
ranging the mill, work at the mine
has been steadily carried on, and
there is plenty Of ore on hand. The
mine is only about four miles dis
tant and has an apparently mex
haustible supply of the highest
quality of ore, aud there is ready
sale for all the graphite the company
can manufacture.
The annual meeting of the com
pany was held at its Office in this
village Wednesday, at which R.
Hathaway was reelected president
and general manager; N. ]. Malott,
secretary and treasurer, and r.
Hathaway, N. ]. Malott, August
Menge, r. C. Williams, III. J.
Seifert, Of this village, and W. w.
Orth, Peter McDuff, of Detroit, and
Philip Carroll. of Honghton, chosen
as directors.
The outlook for the concern is ex-
ceedingly bright, and L'Anse is
fortunate in being chosen as the
place for establishing the mill and
headquarters of the company. But
this undoubtedly would not have
been the case had it not been for the
courtesy and liberality on the part
of the Duluth, South Shore & At
lantic Railway Company, by offer
ing the Graphite Company suita-
BILE site on it's land and the use Of
water power, for nominal figure,
for which courtesy the people Of
L'Anse certainly owe the railroad
company hearty vote of thanks

&. Il. Entertainment.

Through an oversight in the last
issue of The SENTINEL we omitted
mentioning the entertainment which
took place at the M. e. church on
Friday evening Of last week at the
close OF the Christian Endeavor
meeting. The affair was in charge
of Mrs. K. l.. Bower and Miss Mary
Voakes, who are entitled to great
credit. A feature of the evening
was the short drama, or dialogue.
1t portrayed life as if Woman $
Suffrage" was in effect, and
was laughable and up-to-date.
Those who took part in the rendi-
tion of this piece were the Misses
Elsie McKernan, Rose Blankenhorn,
Emma Menge, Eliza Turner and
Opal Cole, Leonard Steele, Harry
Steinbach, Milton Botsford, Donald
Young and Guy Shank.
There were other literary and
musical numbers on the program,
besides several guessing contests
and conundrums. Prizes were
awarded and the entertainment
drawn to close. The attendance
was the largest OF the season.

Father and Son Fought a News
paper Duel for Many
Years.
RELATIONSHIP WAS SECRET
Romance of a Strife That will
Long be Remembered in
Northern Michigan.
The Detroit Evening News prints

The Detroit Evening News prints
the following from Manistique:
One of the keenest writer's in the
state, some years ago, was maj.
Wright S. Clarke, who fouaded the
Manistique Pioneer and made sue
cess of the business when failure
seemed sure. Some years later Will
liam Montgomery established the
Sun, and the rivalry of the two,
which was extremely bitter and per-
sonal, only ended with Maj Clarke's
death. Eight years ago Montgomery
moved his paper to Republic, where
he was burned to death in try
ing to rescue his family from fire.
Clarke" and Montgomery were
father and son, although the secret
was kept by both after the latter
had claimed the relationship, aud
the story leaked out at a reunion of
the Sipe family held last week at
Kokomo, Ind. In 1865 S. L. Mont
gomery, who married into the Sipc
family, was editor of the Kokomo
Tribune. In 1870 he went to Mish-
awaka, near South Bend, and pub
lished the Mishawaka Enterprise.
Soon afterward he was reported to
have beer burned to death in the
fire which destroyed the Studebaker
wagon works. Mrs. Montgomery
returned to Kokomo. Five years
later William Montgomery, the eld-
est Of the children, found his father
at La Grange, O., where he had
married again and was serving as
mayor of the village under the name
OF "Maj Wright S. Clarke" Young
Montgomery did not disclose his
discovery TO his mother. Mrs
Montgomery did several years
later without knowing that her
husband was alive. Ten years
later young Montgomery met "Maj.
Clarke at Manistique, and
introduced himself The father
acknowledged his identity, but the
secret went no further. "Maj.
Clarke" was IL Mexican and civil
war veteran.

WARNING TO MINISTER'S.
Fake Couple Passing Raised
Bills for Marriage Fees.

The most novel criminal game
that Supt. Martin Of the Detroit
police, has learned of in some time
came to his attention Wednesday,
says the Free Press. There is
good looking young man and woman
travelling about the United States
making all kinds of money by get
ting married.
The couple has a large stock Of
raised 81 and 81 bills. The bills OF
the lower denomination are raised
to appear as so bills while the So
ones seem to be $50 bills. The
couple visits the unsospecting
minister, the bride bushes, the
groom is very nervous, just like
most new grooms, and the clergy
man performs the sacred ceremony.
He is given, ite most cases, IA $40
bad bill, and told to take his fee out.
Usually So is the limit of the fee and
the fake bride and her chubby"
leave with $l5 of the good man s
good money in their purses.
1t is possible that the pair are in
Michigan and it would be well for
the ministers to examine the money
given them by persons who wish TO
be united in the sacred bonds of
marriage.

Business Lively In the Township

Covington township, in this
county, is gaining quite a reputa-
tion outside as wood center,
thousands of cords of stove wood
being cut and shipped each
winter. There is no better land in
the county, and when the timber
has been removed, we venture to
predict that farming will be
largely carried on. A stave mill
has just been established, which
will be run to its full capacity.
Taken all in all, it may be said
that Covington is booming, and if
