Kansas, Thursday evening, Dec. 81,
1908, Mr.. WILBUR B. PIPER, formerly

MINER.
The Hoxie Sentinel gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the happy
event which will be of interest to
the groom's many friends here:
Though the wedding occurred on
the above date nary a word of it
leaked out until Friday evening at q
supper served by the bride to Misses
Emma Parks, Agnes Beers, Mamie
Reimers and Messrs. Arthur RoWli-
son, Lyman Taylor and Elmer Fehnel.
Attached to each plate by a ribbon
hung an English walnut, which the
guests were not permitted to open
until they were ready for desert.
On opening the nuts imagine the
surprise of the banqueters to find
stuffed therein the following an
nounce neatly written on q sheet of
linen note paper:
1--WE have taken this novel way TO give you a
surprise;
So please read the fol owing and get wise:
Now Carrie and are acting part;
She withsthe coffee pot; me with the knife.
You think she's my sweetheart,
She isn't; she's my wife.
On New Years Eve we were made as one
And after March first you'Il find us at home,
On Rllerding's ranch, northwest of town,
So If ever you're near there, please just drop
down.
For a time CONSERVATION was
plainlylwritten on the faces of all
present, excepting the groom and
his fair bride, but after an explana-
ton that the announcement was
true, good laugh was had and the
happy couple was showered with
congratulations and good wishes,
The groom is one Of Sheridan
county's brightest and most res
pected young men, while the bride,
oh, well, not person has traded in
Beers store during the past three
years but knows her az q pleasant
little lady In all that the term
implies. Here's to Mr.. and Mrs.
Piper, sand may they live long and
prosper"
