Dyke arrived here from Clifton
Thursday evening on the 4:35 train

there they proceeded to the office
of County Clerk Stout, who fixed
them up for the. sum of one dollar
with papers required by law before
they could be married.
Back to the hotel they went.

their bridal supper at the hotel,
and leave on the seven O'Clock
train for Atlantic city They pre-
ferred a presbyterian pastor. and
the clerk called for Rev. j w
Frances. He was ont of town.
Then they said a Baptist minister
would do, and the clerk called for
Rev. Vim. Carey Calder. He was
also out of town. Then they said
any old minister would do, and the
olerk called for Mr.. G F. Assister,
of the Ohristian Church. He
could not be found.
Just then the fret call for sup
per was announced. and the groom
elect and his blushing bride to-be
decided that supper and Atlantic
City would not wait, but they
could be married anywhere. so Mr.
Bates and Mrs. Dyke ate the sup.
per that was intended for Mr.. and
Mrs Bates, and left in sinlge
blessedness for the east, with Ii.
cense which would be of no use
after they passed the state line
They may have stopped of in
Washington today to be married

Greatest Dividend of All.

This is the time of year when
the farmer has the floor. II is of
more importance to know that the
crops are maturing just right than
whether John D. Rockefeller has
been indicted agEin or not, OF
whether the packing houses are t.
be renovated anew. During these
sunshiny days and warm nights
something is going on throughout
the length and breadth of this
blessed land of ours that is OF
much consequence to all the PEG
pie. Rain is falling and the waite,
is trickli g down the hillsidee,
moistening the soil. green stalks OF
corn are swelling and growing. and
grass is almost waist high. While
politics are Sizing and boiling here
and there, the earth is preparing t.
declare it's rich annual dividend, ,
one of the largest in the country
history. Upon this, and not upon
the success of any political party.
depends everything, the mills. the
railroads. the stores. the profes-
sione, the dinner-pail. and next
years buggy and piano. 1t mat
ters not whether We have graft or
no graft, whether We have Mr.
Roosevelt or some one else in the
White House, the corn continues
to ripen in the fieId and the aFples
are turning red in the orchard 1t
is certainly wicked for any petit
cal party 70 take credit for the
crest things q Kind Providence
Is bestowing upon us-West Ua-

Telephone Subscribers are tired of
the annoyance.
People do not rent telephones to
be bothered by persons calling
them up and aekiuR them to run
to the neigh boris for someone who

in frequently from telephone pa
irons asking the operators that the
annoyance be stopped, or their
phones will have to be taken out.
A large per cont of the trouble
comes from people who do not
rent fphones at all. It must be
stopped. A telephone is not pub

use of the subsoribers.

Telephone service is like any
article of merchandise that is

paying for telephone service you
are no more justified in using q

Circuit Court, with Judge VIM A.

is the appeal of the B. & o. and K

having come down from the tx

he having seemingly taken the
