the wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. p. II. Rel
ly was given by aboat one hundred
friends and relatives.
The party gathered IN he basement
of the Methodist Episcopal church at
eight o'clock and then sent fer their

amusements. The apartment was very
prettily decorated with smilax and
chrysanthemums, while in the center OF
the refreshment table candles were ar
ranged in the shape of figure thirty.
In few we'll chosen remarks Rev. Y

lage. The sprocket chain under the ma
chine came off and they indeavorci to
put it back while the machine. was run

hand in the chain. Their fingers were
somewhat injured but not seriously.
If you can go by the old saying as
to muskrats building low houses for an
open winter, things look quite favor
ably as the houses are hardly above the
water. The rats are batting the cracks
in boat houses as if they intend wirt-
ering there.
Lake Eagle is the highest this year it
has been in years before.
