A Pretty Home Wedding.

The hospitable home Of Mrs.
M. J. Gardner was the scene of.
an extremely pretty wedding last
Tuesday morning at eleven
O'Clock when Miss Pansy Steele
became the bride Of Miner Kin
ney. Both the bride and groom
were from Birmingham. An es-
pecially lovely feature of this
wedding was that Miss Steele re-
turned, to be married, to the home
of her grandmother who had TAX
en- her a fair haired motherless
child Of twelve and tender1y
reared her. The decorations for
the occasion were most appropri-
ate, holly in profusion lending its
Christmas sentiment and cheer
to graceful vines and palms,
made the scene one of excep-
tional beauty. The ceremony
was impressively performed by
the Rev. Dunbar H. Ogden. The
bridal party entered to the strains
of Mendelssohn's wedding march
and soft, continuous melody en-
hanced greatly the beauty and
solemnity of the occasion. Mrs.

MASONS MEET.
District Deputy Grand
Master Highly Pleased
With Work.

The meeting of Columbus
Lodge No. 8, z. 6 A. NJ. on last
Tuesday evening was a most en-
joyable occasion. Besides the
large number of regular members
present, there was a big atten-
dance of visiting brethren, also
the D. D. G.. NJ, B. Y. Rhodes of
West Point, who came over es-
pecially to be present at this
meeting. The exercises of the
evening were divided into three
parts: first part consisted of the
regular installation ceremonies Of
the officers elect for the ensuing
year. P. G. NJ. Harrison assist
ed by @. Treas. Franklin offIci~
ated in this part; and both were
very impressive in their work
and delivery. The second part
consisted of the exemplificatiOn
of the work in the Third Degree
on Brother Carter by the newly
installed officers. The nature Of
their work called forth many
words of praise from Br0thsr
Rhodes, who expressed himself
as highly delighted with every
thing done. At the invitation of
the Worshipful Master, he de-
livered the lecture in this Degree,
and by his able and magnificent
handling of it, won the unstinted
praise of the entire Lodge. The
third part was considered by
some, if not all, to be the best of
the three. It consisted of a real
ly delightful and sumptuous
banquet, to which nearly one
hundred and fifty men sat down
which, after due apology on the
part Of Brother Walter Cooper,
for his failure to procure the
baked "pOssum and 'taters," as
promised by him, and same being
accepted by the members pres
ent, was greatly enjoyed. We
hope for more of such evenings.
Nay thay come frequently.

A SpeciaI Engagement.

An attraction of unusual
drawing power is ''The Midnight
Express" widely spoken of as
the best play Of this generation.
The secret of its great success is
the marvellous manner in which
It is produced. The four beauti-
sui stage settings have never be-
fore been attempted on such a
magnificent scale. TO handle
the train alone requires the con-
certed Iabors Of eight mechanics
who send this 800 fong piece Of
mechanism out dashing across
the stage. The company of six
teen players is augmented by six
speciality artists and two talented
children, ''The Midnight Ex-
press" comes direct from ST.
Louis where it has just furnished
q special Worlds Fair engage
ment. This show comes to the
Columbus Theatre Friday night,
Jan. 9Th, 1904.

spot for bacteria to enter.
To enrich the blood and increase tho
red blood corpuscles, DR.. Pierce years ago
found a vegetable compound, which he
called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, that would quickly cure the bad sy1np-
toms by increasing the red blood corpus
cles and thereby feeding the nerves on rich
blood. This sMedical Discovery" also acts
upon the digestion and assimilation of food,
so that the blood gets its proper elements
from the products of digestion. Feed the
lungs, stomach and heart on rich red blood
and you have surely a healthy body which,
will throw of the germs of disease which
LUX everywhere. Get as near nature's
way as you can. Amedicine made entirely
from botanical extracts and which does not
contain alcohol is the safest. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery contains neither
alcohol nor narcotics.

The Creamery Slump

The Alexandria Creamery company
sold six Swimming stations this spring
at auction for 1924, about ten cents
on the dollar of the money invested in
them. The main plant at Alexandria
and the Swimming stations cost about
$4,000. The business has all gone to
the dogs, and it is not likely that the
stockholders will realize much oyer 10
per cent of the money they put in to
the creamery and stations.
The Alexandria creamery never
paid its stockholders over 10 per cent
in dividends, ONE of the time not
that. The earnings over and above
the 10 per cent went into Swimming
stations. 1t will thus be seer that as
carefully as the business was managed
and the interest OF the patrons pro-
tected, together with skimming sta
tlons to make it more convenient for
them, they quit-rust as they did at
Kimball.
The history of the creamery bust
ness throughout the state shows that
the Kim5all plant was handled to the
best advantage frem start to finish.
Great pressure was brought to bear
upon the writer, when he was man.
ager, to build Swimming stations, but
in every cas- he suggested to those in
terested that they put their own
money into them.
And While the practice of declaring
the big dividends IN the Kimball
creamery did not meet with our ap-
prOyal, time has demonstrated that it
was the ouly proper thing to do. Any
other course would have meant a
heavy loss to the stockholders. AS 1T
is, they will come out about even.
This is not saying that we haye seen
the end of the creamery business.
This is a natural dairy country. In
no spot on the globe can milk and
cream be produced at less cost than
rlghtln Brule county, and some day
we expect to see this country produce
more milk than it ever has. But the
business will go into the hands of
farmers VINO will make it main source
of income instead Of a side Issue. They
will get a good strain of COWS to start
with and raise forage crops-produce
more from me acre than they now do
from twenty. The farm products
which go to support 10000, 1000 of Jap
anese are raised on less territory than
comprises the state of Illinois.

Tire teachers of Chamberlain and
vicinity assembled in the high school
room last Saturday afternoon where
was held the last of the series of
teachers meetings. There were twen-
ty-three present Notwithstanding the
stormy weather. Music was furnished
by some OF the high school girls. Miss
Cook conducted a class in numbers
that was complete and practical. Miss
Stuart presented some good thoughts
on choosing pictures fora school room.
Miss Anderson gave some excellent
suggestions regarding much needed
changes in the course of study. Prof
Clark had charge of a question box
and answered the questions in a way
that gave much much help to young
teachers. The meetings have all been
successful and will probably be a regu-
lar thing next year.
