would like to know the place.
Some pc )ple seem to think Sun City's
picuie was holy terror: we'll, it may
have been. but we failed to catch a
glimpse Of the "Holv" proceedings.
As for the terror" the man who Invol
UNFAIRLY received the beer bottle GER.
tainly got touch OF 1T and the careless
gent who fell face foremost into the
creek also had a close call.
Love thy neighbor as thy self. when
considering this commandment we
come TO the conclusion that all men and
women are to a considerable extent
selfish, to love our neighbor as though
he were our own person and TO deal
with him accordingly, one would truly
need to be an angel. The burning Of
the IrOQuois eheater affords good eX-
ample OF Seltishness. Men and women
ia their desperate effort TO save their
own life would trample upon the faces
of their dearest friends, and who
among us would have not done likewise
under such circumstances? Surely this
is pure selfshness, and the man who
say he loves his neighbor as himself
should be careful lest he tell whopper.
The good work still goes on. Last
Sunday at the home of Mr.. aud Mrs.
Hess of Pratt, Earl Bowman and Miss
MaySei Love were united III marriage
by the Baptist minister of said place.
The newly welded were given a recep-
ton at the home of Prof. j. +. Thomas.
About SO guests were present and it is
needless to say 1t was most enjoyable
occasion to all. Mrs. Bowman Is one
OF Pratt county's rustling school teach
ers and now that she has accepted just
one pupil for instruction he had better
be good. Earl. who Is familiar to us
all, is a sturdy young farmer and of his
2O6 bones he hasn't lazy one. Every
thing considered we believe this union
was entirely proper. The following are
sCme of the presents given by friends
and relatives: Pair white linen towels,
Mrs. Joe Massey; fruit dish, Marie
Thomas; linen towels. Mrs. Olive
Thomas: silver tea and table spoons, j.
