| the fact UndU UneTe were IOur Weu-
dings In town last week We Will ad-
init that there was little spasmodlc
| outburst last week, but IL was mainly
among The widows and wldOwers. or
course we all know that handsome
young widow can get married when
ever she wishes. We had an Illus
tration of that TUESDAY, night, when
Mrs. Burgess married. She very con-
siderately went to Parsons for her
man, so as not to lessen the chances
of our girls here at home. We notice
one very commendable effort the Cha
mute girls are making, however, which
is bound to bring results II persisted
in. We refer to these pleasant moou-
light parties they are giving in the
groves. We hope they will continue
them during the summer. The soft
moonlight shimmering through the
trees has wonderfully mellOwing eff
feet upon the heart Of the Young man..
1t causes him to reflect upon his lone
ly condition, and see visions of pref
ty cottage, empowered with vines and
| flowers, and presided over by an an
gelic being; and gets his mind in a
very receptive mood. Keep up the
moonlight socials, but don't invite
too many Of the boys at once. Two or
three are plenty. for one evening; you
are likely to have your attentions d.
vided too much If there are more.
Hayrack rides will soon be in order,
but In the meantime keep up the
grove socialS; they are bound to win.
Now, as a reward for superior merit,
we propose to give years subscrip-

Prof. Ed Herod, OF former Neosho
county fame, is now conducting the
county normal. The Prof, from the
effects of his popularity and success,
has somewhat grown out of the ways
Of his oOyhOod, when he went bare
foot in summer and lived on corn
bread and sorghum mOlasses, and had
to be licked to get him to wash the
molasses off his chin, and has grown
a little fastidious. During his stay in
Erie he has boarded with Uncle Bob.
Uncle Bob has prOSpered in the world
but has not adopted all the fads of
modern society, and lives in the good,
comfortable, old fashioned way. The
first morning of Eds stay, after par
taking of a hearty breakfast of ham
and eggs, etc, the Prof. pushed back
his chair and asked his uncle. if he
didn't use finger bowls. Uncle Bob
mistook his meaning, and replied,
Yes, Eddie, just step into the bed
room there, and you will find one at
the foot of the bed" H. is said the
Prof. Immediately dropped all his
lofty airs and society affectations, and
has been the same jolly Ed Herod OF
cd ever since.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Fl.
Mahatfey, west of town, was the Sci e
of pleasant surprise Tuesday even
ing. The occasion was Mrs. Mahaf-
fey's thIrtietb birthday. She was in
duced to attend the band concert, but
returned in time to receive the con-
gratulations of her many friends.
Ice cream and cake were served, and
all parto TX heartily. During the eve.
ming Mrs. Mahaffey was presented
with beautiful silver berry spoon, a
contribution from her many friends.
The guests remained until late hour
and all enjoyed the occasion to the ut
most.
Married, Wednesday evening, June
! 26th, at the home of the bride in the
Fourth ward, Miss Gertie Groome and
Mr.. Fred Gray, Rev. G. H. Hinton
master of ceremonies. Mrs. Gray is
1.-THE daughter of Constable Groomr
, and Fred is bricklayer and stone
mason of the city. The young couple

fitted up by Mr.. Gray on West Main
street. A number of the immediate
relatives were present at the cere-
mOny. The TIMES wishes this worthy
young couple all manner of success.
A lot of toughs attended the rail.
road boys picnic at Humboldt last
Saturday, and filling up on Humboldt
booze, got into general row. Pistols
and knives we're used freely, and sew
eral were hurt. A deputy sheriff of
Allen county came down to Chanute
Tuesday and took two or three of our
citizens back with him, who had got
mixed up in the Humboldt troubles
in some manner. II Humboldt must
allow her hell holes to run she should
have enough extra police on hand on
public days to preserve order.
We were pleased to note the flatter-
ing tribute paid to Mrs. S. A. Lven Of
Chanute by the Topeka Capital in its
Sunday edition. Mrs. Lyen is a
worthy example of the successful Kan
sas woman, and is deserving Of much
praise for her energy and push and f.
nancial success under discouraginp
circumstances.
