Like all true hearted and manly
men Wesley always liked the girls.
But for reasons peculiar to his Tx
ing he had never met the object OF
his fancy, and many of his nearest
friends had about concluded that he
had either lief the girl he loved be-
hind or was to continue indefinitely
his career Of single blessedness.
But at last the secret is out--he has
fallen victim to the bewitching
smiles and winning ways Of one OF
Lancaster's fair daughters, and &C
cordingly last Wednesday morning
at $50 o'clock when the gray OF
early morn was ushering in a most
beautiful and delightful December
day to be memorable IN the lives OF
this young couple, Wesley G Hymer
led to hymen's altar Miss Anna Ed
erie at Lancaster, Rev. Schleicher
of ST. Clements church of that city
being the officiating clergyman.
The bride is the estimable daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Eberle OF
Lancaster and has resided there sew
eral years. She is admired among
large circle of acquaintance at
the county seat who will regret her
departure from their midst. But
she Will adorn the home and heart
of another who is in every way
worthy OF the fair bride he has
wooed and won. The groom is one
of our best business men and bears
an excellent reputation both for
ability and integrity. He is person
ally known and respected by every
man, woman and child in this COM
munity aud his acquaintance ex-
tends throughout the county. The
happy couple will return to Potosi
to reside after honeymo on trip.
Weather conditions TN precedented
for December; Dads dry and dusty
as in August, and the yule- tide days
looked forward to by all civilized
nations throughout the universe but
fifteen days in advance. With each
succeeding year our business houses
display larger stocks more prOfusely
beautiful and in greater variety of
wares suited to the holiday trade
that makes glad hearts among old
and young alike. Remember the
old maxim, ''Give and you shall re-
ceive." You who are abupdantly
able need not confine your giving
within the family circle. Cast about
and you will find in your neighbor-
hood those who have been less for
tunate than has been your lot that
are in need yet worthy OF your ben
efaction. This is particularly true
among children. Make glad the
hearts OF as many as your circum-
stances will permit. You will not
miss it and the world will have been
bettered by your kindly deed.
