inquiries the delving hand that
brought it forth? "The ever-busy,
over-worked, yet obliging post
master should take consolation
from the fact that he may be ap-
preciated after death if not before.
Here is an extract from a lawyers
letter to a postmaster's widow in a
nearby town: Dear Madam
cannot tell you how panied l was
to hear that your husband has
gone to heaven. We were bosom
friends, but can never meet
again."
Somebody justly allied to the
interests of his locality-the inter-
ests that contribute to his pros
perity and welfare-rightly says:
"The man who kindles the fire
with the catalogue from the de-
.partment stores and gives all his
trade to his home merchants, is
the man who helps to put a better
value on your property. The more
a town grows and the more BUSH
ness it does, the greater the in
'croase in the value of property
both city and farm. The man
who patronizes the city depart
ment stores in preference to his
home merchants, thinking he may
thereby save a few pennies, is
simply detracting from the wealth
of his own community"
The following is taken from the
Little Rock Democrat of February
81: GA quiet home wedding was
solemnized Thursday evening at
the residence of the brides aunt,
Mrs. H. w. Wilson, 1920 West

ter and Mr.. j. F. Hilburn of Clio

The groom is the son of Mr.. F. P.
Hilburn, late a resident of An

bride be to him a "beauty and a
Joy forever"

Bald headed row in the court
room was filed to it's capacity this
morning when the case OF James
Martin VS.. Maggie Martin was
called. The case was one in which
Mr. Martin was suing for divorce
and was brought to this county
from Washington county on a
change of venue. Mrs. Martin FL
ed an answer and a cross bill, and
as a result some very rich, rare
and racy testimony was adduced
in the trial of the cause. Mr..
Martin is quite wealthy and was
trying to keep his wife from shar-
ing his large estate. Judge Fort
heard the evidence and then grant
ed Mrs. Martin a divorce on her
cross bill and gave her the custody
of their one child and decreed her
one half of Mr.. Martins estate.
All the parties are from Bismarck.
