Whether or not certain couple
of this city are joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock, they were CIV
en- a rousing serenade last night
Just the same. However, should
it develop that the parties in
question are not married, the fact
so much choice music went to
waste is to be deplored.

1t is currently reported that
James McCoach and Miss Blanche
Smythe are married and the ru-
NOR has been so generally circu-
lated the parties were duly sere-
naded. Whether the parties are
married or not, we do not know,
but Dame Rumor says they are,
and that all we know about the
matter.
Mark Miller of New Cumber-
land, is calling on friends in the

There are two able bodied men
in the city bastile that are living
on the fat of the land. Of
course, the taxpayers will have
the bill to settle, but the families
of the men in question are doubt
less made to suffer most by the
waywardness of their husbands.
1t is to be hoped these men will
90 to work when released and
support their families as honora-
BILE citizens should, and forever in
the future abstain from strong
drink. Rum alone has been the
cause of their downfall.
The Baptist Sunday-school are
/ having their annual outing today
at the beautiful Paden City Park.
The school children, teachers and
parents left in two special cars
at 10 o'clock this morning over
| the electric line, and will not re-
turn until late this evening. They
were well supplied with good
things to eat as well as facilities
/ to afford a pleasant time for the

one for an outing, and the occas,
ion will undoubtedly be hugely
enjoyed by all.
There is a story current in Eas'
tern Kansas to the effect that a
lot of whiskey was thrown into
the Arkansas river the other day
and that a couple Of jack rabbits
after quenching their thirst with
the strengthening water, boldly

that any Kansas man ever threw
whiskey into the Arkansas riv'

If the worst comes to the worst
we can live on peanuts. The veg
etarians declare that there is
more nutriment in the peanut
than in meat, and at this particu
lar time this is very interesting
to learn. Everybody likes pea
nuts, and there is no danger that
the man with the peanut roaste,
round the corner, will 60 on
strike. If the meat famine comes
as predicted, all we have to do is
to lay in few bushels of peanuts
and grow fat and healthy, while
the stock of surplus cattle on the
Western plains continues to mul
tiply and increase. This is cam

may be possibly found in peanut
politics to counterfeit the effects
