lar statements emanating from Hull
and appearing in London papers dur

before the Russian consul. Only one
man is named as having made the
statements. He is boatswain of trawl-
er Ava, and he stated today that he
was induced to make the statement

A WEDDING WRTE-UP.

IIQg the Palmyra Spectator .g5u1 8site 8 wedding notice and ln t5r truat could only write iccordipg to ifs seoayietioas
 Willie shortIiko and Bettie Boomers were married at the eburch last evening. The church va prettil1 decorated with flow afs and potted plants, borrowed promiscaously over town of peo- ne who didn | want to lend them. The decorating WIS done under protest by some of the ladies of the church who were asked to do So br the bride and they couldn [ well refuse. The ladies are of the opinion that if the couple were so bent on having 8 stylish wedding they should have been willing to have paid some one to chase all over town for q day or two getting flowers and then take them home
 again. The bride wore a handsome Sllverstern gown, made at home, and the groom was diked out in a ten dollar hand-me-doWn suit, bor- rdwpd for fine occasion. Sailie Potts was maid of honor and the coneensus of opinions was that she was two to one better locker than the bride. The couple took the morning train for St. Louis, where they will spend more mon ey in few days than Willie can earn in three months. Willie says nov he's married he's going to settle down. Some of the mer- chants think 1t would have been better if he'd settle up first. The groom gets salary of twenty-sev- en dollars month, which is about the allowance Bettie has been used to for pin money.
