Married.

There was happy gathering of
relatives and a few intimate friends
at the beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. c. Williams of,South Lancaster, last
Wednesday evening, the occasion be-
ing the marriage of their daughter
Anna to Henry D. Damn.
Promptly at eight o'clock the couple
entered the parlor to the music of
the wedding march, played by Miss
Minnie Wetter of Lancaster. Rev.
Morgans OF this city performed the
ceremony in his usual impressive
manner.
The bride looked lovely in a gown of
white silk crepe de chene, and is an
intelligent young lady, member of
the class of 1904 of the Normal at
Platteville, and has host of friends
The groom is a prominent and thrifty
farmer respected by all who knew him.
After the hearty congratulations the
guests sat down to bountiful supper
to which everyone did ample justice.
After spending some time visiting
relatives and friends in Chicago, and
elsewhere, Mr.. and Mrs. Damn will
begin house keeping upon a nice farm
three miles south of the city.
That happiness and prosperity may
be theirs, is the wish of large circle
of acquaintance.

Where Is This Town?

We believe there are few people
in Lancaster who ever heard of the
town of No Good on the banks of
the river Slow; where the some
time-or-other scents the air and the
soft go-easy grows. 1t lays IN the
valley of What's the Use, in the
province Of Let Her Slide; it's the
house of the reckless I don't Care
where the Give 1t Up abide. The
town is as old as the human race,
and it grew with the flight Of years.
1t is wrapped in the fog of the
idler's dreams; it's streets are paved
with discorded schemes and sprink-
led with useless tears. It is safe
to say that our readers are not
familiar with the conditions in the
town referred to above.

Two OF a Kind.

An Irish soldier wanted to get
furlough and trumped up a story
that his wife was very sick and had
written him to come home, but the
captain knew Pats tricks so he
said to him: pat, Ireceived letter
from your wife today and she told
me not to let you come home as
you got drunk, broke up the
furniture and mistreated her
shamefully." Pat saluted and start
ed to leave the room, but on reach
ing the door turned and said: Sir
may / speak to you-not as an
officer but as mon to mona" Eyes
Pat what is ita" Well, sir, what I'm
after saying is this,n remarked Pat,
"that you and I are two of the
most illigant liars that the Lord
ever made. I'm not a married mon."

pleting the assignment of box num-
bers on a route the postmaster will
furnish each box owner with the
official number of his box, and re-
quest that this number be at once

Town Talk.

Flown talk" that is the brand of
a pretty good soap. It is vastly
superior to the ordinary town talk
you hear about town. 1t will take
the dirt off and clean your body,
while ordinary town talk" will
tarnish your soul, mind and body.
There is a certain class of people
about every town who are con-
tinually prying into everybody's
secret. A large per cent about
one hnndred-knows everybody's
business better than they know
their own.D Of course, when these
people begin to prattle, it vibrates
on other peoples talkative nerve
and produces town talk. Then take
the man WHO is dishonest, and be-
cause he is dishonest, believes every
body else is, creates town talk.
Take the homely woman, and be-
cause she is decidedly 'homely," it
causes loose tongues to wag and
then there's town talk. Or take the
giddy one who believes, with all
her powder, paints, cosmetics, false
hair, false manners, false teeth,
bows, ribbons, sashes, silks, crino-
lines, laces, jewels, and thousand
other things that she is a queen,
there will be a ripple in high
society-and town talk. Then, we
find men and women who will
wear out a pair of shoes walking
around trying to get credit, and
when they find 1t, they will wear
out two pairs shoes running from
their bill. When they ale overtaken
by creditors and forced TO pay,
there is a howl, and the result is a
bitter feeling and lots of town talk
If we would dispense with about
one hundred per cent of this cheap,
debased and degraded town talk,
how much sorrow would be omit
ted aud how much more happy
would we all be. Morality would
take it's stand in our midst; virtue
would thrive and become per-
petual blooming rose, and immor-
rality would be lost in the gloom Of
everlasting night. How can we do
this? some may ask. 1t is easy. Here
is the remedy: When you are on
the verge of engaging in town talk,
instead, just repeat this little verse:
There is SO much good in the worst
of us
And so much bad in the best of US,
That I cannot see why any of us,
Are talking about the rest of u.s."
And then keep your mouth shut.
This is a sure cure for town talk.

Foot Ball.

The High School foot ball team is
rapidly developing under the COACH
ing of Rev. Evans.
Several games have been schedul'
ed the first of which is to be played
today, with Platteville High School.
The teams must be entirely made
up of High School men and the
game will be a clean one no doubt.
Although the lineup has not been
definitely arranged it is probable
that the positions for today's game
