MISS LINN EMERY MARRIED.
Eioped to Missouri and Became the Bride OF
Paul Dillon Last Week. n.

From Centerville Uowa) Iowegian
Centerville people were much sur
prised, and agreeably so, Tuesday t.
learn that Paul Dillon and Miss Linz
Emery had quietly been married Al
: Lancaster, Mo-, and would return tx
Centerville having executed as success
full surprise as has been perpetrated
for long time. The young people
returned on the midnight train.
The bride is daughter of Mrs. I. B.
Siders, numbers her friends by the
score, and is charming young lady.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
TIL. Dillon, well known, we'll liked by
every body and holds a responsible po-
sition with the Adams Express CO. \
Monday evening at the Burlington
depot the Iowegian reporter informed
Paul w. Dillon, ofthis city, on the side
that he was going to elope to Missouri
points that evening and be married,
after which he was going to Chicago
on a wedding tour. Mr.. Dillon said
he did not believe such thing posi-
BILE, and expressed surprise that any
couple would think of doing such
thing, but next morning about II
o'clock after he had successfully out
witted his friends, his father received
word to inform Mrs. Siders that her
daughter, supposed to be in school get
ting her latin lesson, had changed her
mind about going to school and intend
ed taking position with the Adams
Express Co., as chief assistant to Mr..
Dillon. Mrs. Siders was very much
surprised, but parents on both sides
approved of the match and were ready
to welcome home the young people who
had surprised them no less than their
friends.
Miss Linn Emery, the bride, needs
no introduction to Centerville people,
and although having lived here but a
short time, with sweet disposition
and beautiful voice, she has won for
herself place in the hearts of the peo-
pie. She was a student in the Center
vile high school and would have grad
uated this spring. She has also been
vocal student of Prof. Russell
Morrison, now Of Cbieago, and Prot.
Travis, of this city.
Mr.. Dillon has been well known in
Centerville, a young man who believes
in having friends and being one, and
that no one can be a success without
attending strictly to the business he
undertakes. He was a student of the
Centerville high school and later
student of Iowa Wesleyan University
of Mt. Pleasant, also captain of the
baseball team of that college He is
now steadily advancing in the esteem
Of the express company, frequently
being sent on responsible missions to
various points.

Some Evening Reysries.

A happy home, whether it consists
two or twelve members, is one where
love presides at the board and watches
over the couches; where each person
loves himself last and considers the
other first; where the irritable word is
restrained and the affectionate thought
given utterance, and where each is
glad in laboring for the others COM

The BLADE is informed that the

Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Groes have re-
ceived word that Joe James and fam
lily, of Missoula, Mont, will be here
to spend Christmas with them and
visit relatives and old friends. Mr..
James was formerly an engineer on
the K. G. and lived in Laclede, but
went west about twenty years ago and
is still riding the iron horse on west

A rumor was started the first of the
week by some busybody that one of
cur largest business houses was about
to be closed out. A little investiga-
ton convinced us that the report was
wholly false, and we understand that
instead of closing out, another depart
ment is soon to be added to the al
ready immense stock. fhe big store
to which we refer is The Model, of
which G. E. Hilton is proprietor.
The second number in the lecture
course was given last Wednesday
evening by Rev. James H. Batten in
his lecture, "The Higher Expansion"
1t was an evening of delight for those
who attended, and was undoubtedly
the greatest intellectual treat the peo-
pie of Laclede have had for some
time. The lecture was strong in ar
sublimely beautiful in senti-
ment and an inspiring appeal for the
higher and better things of life.

Let us lay aside discomfort, petu
lance and moroseness. These are the
worst enemies that can dwell within
a home. IF we can reach philosophy
in no other way, let US do so by con-
templating the i'll fortunes of those
who are more afflicted than we. and
so we may acquire certain negative
content that will suffice until we can
cultivate a more positive virtue. Dis
content saps the strength and is an
enemy to progress. Petulance accom-
plishes nothing. 1t Injuries the infu-

The grandest luxury God ever gave
man is health. He who trades that
off for all the palaces of the earth is
cheated. Many have envied Napoleon
but he would have gladly given all
his honors to have been freed from
the gout. A dinner Of herbs tasts
better to the appetite sharpened on
woodman's ak or cythe, than wealthy
Indigestion experiences seated at
able covered with venison and all the
uxuries of the season. With good
health we can sleep sweetly on straw
mattress, while fashionable invalids

vise to the Hebrews and if we have
health in all other respect "Be content
With such things as ye have"
