WILL HAVE DOUBLE WEDDING
3 rother and Sister Will Wed Sister
and Brother Next Tuesday.

On next Tuesday notable double
wedding will take place at St. Rose.
of Lima church at which time four of
the prominent and popular young
people of East Boyer township will
be united in wedlock. The wedding
is the more interesting from the fact
that the brother and sister of one pro-
minent family will be united to the
sister and brother of another promi-
nent family. Rev. Father M. j. Far
reilly will officiate. The principals to
this unique wedding are Mr.. Patrick
Hassett and Miss Nellie A. Comtsock
and Mr.. Francis E. Comstock and
Miss Johanna A. Hassett. The Re-
view extends its fluctuations over the
happy event. The young people are
well-known and are among the very
best that Crawford can produce. Long
life, health and happiness to them all.

TO BE PROPERLY OBSERVED
Denison Will Celebrate Memorial Day
this Year with Old Time En-
thusiasm

At meeting held on Tuesday even
ing plans were perfected for the OBJ
servance Of Memorial Day in the way
it used to be celebrated before the
ranks of the G.. A. R. were thinned
by the ravages of time and while the
members were in the prime of life.
Nearly all the old soldiers have now
passed the sixty mark and it is for
this reason that the Commercial Club
has decided to help them in the proper
observance of the day. All the Civic
societies of Denison are to be invited
to join in the parade to the cemetery
where the morning exercises will be
held and it is to be hoped that every
one will have the patriotism to accept
and to enter heartily into the spirit
of the occasion. The firemen of Den
ison will also be asked to join and
all the citizens of the county are in
vited to join with us. Especial in
vitations will also be extended to all
the old soldiers of the county. Music
will be provided by the Denison con-
cret band for the parade and by a
number of Denison's best singers for
the exercises. The afternoon sexer-
cises will be held in the opera house
and one of the most noted G. A. r.
orators of the state has been invited
to make the principal address. Let
us have a revival of patriotism, let
us show that the memory of the brave
Union soldiers has not faded, let us
honor beth the living and the dead by
taking an active part in the obser-
vance of the day sacred to the Boys
in Blue, who preserved the Union,
freed the slaves and licked the South
ern rebels to finish The South
does not forget its dead nor does il
neglect an opportunity to laud the
, deeds of the rebel armies, let not the
North neglect, let not the North. fai
to remember that it's soldiers were
the bravest, the best and the most
stalwart, and above all let us not for
get that their cause was just and holy

MERCHANTS Meet
Will Form Organization for
Mutual Benefit
MANY Nj ii MERCHANTS ATTEND
Representative Greene of Madison
County Delivers Address on
Benefits of Organization

Tuesday the retail merchants of the
county held a meeting for the purpose
of organizing themselves inLo an as
ISOLATION for their mutual benefit and
support. The meeting was we'll at
tended not only by the merchants of
Denison but by the retailers from
nearly every town in the county.
Hon. R. A. Greene who represented
Madison county in the last session of
the legislature was the speaker of the
day and he delivered convincing adj
dress to the merchants concerning the
objects of the association and the
benefits to be derived from organiza-
tion. He went into the details of the
retail trade and discussed many of
the hardships and the impositions the
retailer has to stand. These he said
could be largely avoided by co-opera-
ton, which should not stife competi-
tion but which should be mutually
protective.
There was some discussion as to the
advisability of organization but it APP
peared to be the opinion of nearly all
present that it would be beneficial and
an organization was effected.
These officers will hold until the
regular election which will occur in
July. Sec. Gebert is about to send
pout invitations to all the retailers of
the county to join and meeting for
the further consideration of plans
will be held during the fore part OF
May. The success of the meeting
was largely due to the efforts of Mr..
o. r. Smith who visited all the
towns of the county and got the mer-
chants we'll interested. He represents
j the mutual fire insurance feature of
the organization. He tells us that
nineteen counties of the state are now
organized and that the society, if SC
it may be called is extending rapidly.
There will be state convention held
in Sioux City in the near future and
Mr.. Smith hopes to have western Iowa
