The Denning home on Second street
was the scene Of a happy and pleasing
reception on Saturday evening. The
doors of the residence were thrown
open and many of the citizens enjoyed
the opportunity of calling to offer con-
gratulations and best wishes to the
bride and groom, Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
w. Denning. The display of handsome
and valuable presents were viewed by
the visitors in the sitting room, after
which each of the guests were treated
to cup of frappe and cookies served
by four charming mattresses in the
dining room. It was happy function.
While out driving Sunday afternoon
Edgar Mayhem put out small blaze on
the county bridge west of town that
might have resulted in it's complete
destruction. A threshing engine had
passed across the bridge just short
time before, and burning straw from
it had burned small hole in the edge
when it was discovered. Mr.. Mayhem
borrowed pail from house near by
and extinguished the fire before it got
under headway. A little while longer
and the people west of the river would
have been shut off from Oakes for
AS further indication of the pros
perity and rapid increase of wealth in
This locality during the past few years,
attention is called to the statement of
the Oakes National Bank on the last
page Of this issue which is worthy Of
more than passing notice. The Oakes
National commenced business in Octo-
ber, 1903, and the present statement of
its business within two years from date
of organization shows deposits of over
100000. This is the largest growth in
business made by any new national
bank in the state in the same length of
time and should be very gratifying to
the management.
Tennyson or Longfellow could take
worthless sheet Of paper, write poem
On it and make it worth $65, ,00O-that's
genius. Rockefeller can write a, few
words on sheet Of paper and make it
worth IS, 600, COO that's capital. The
United States can take an ounce and
quarter Of gold and stamp on it an
eagle bird" and make it worth SO
that's money. A mechanic can take
raw material worth S and make it into
watch springs worth $1,000 that's
skill. A woman can purchase 85-cent
hat, but prefers one that costs $27-
that's foolishness. A ditch digger
works ten hours day and handles sew
eral tons Of earth for 81 rs that's labor.
The printer Of this can write q check
for $500, but it wouldn't be worth .
lime, that's rough. When man does
his trading he wants to do it in Oakes,
hats good common sense.
