Stevens took place at the Baptist
church in this city last Wednesday
evening, March 9th, in the presence
OF a very large congregation of
friends. Rev. F. c. Ward was the
officiating minister.
The brides sister, Mrs. Alfred
Luther, presided at the piano, Hen.
~ J. Hanson was groomsman and
Miss Alma Shell bridesmaid. The
bride was given away by Mr.. Law.
renee Stevens, her brother. The
wedding march and ceremony were
very nice, the Baptist and Episco-
pal rites being both employed.
The bride was gowned in white
and wore white carnations in her
, hair and the groom was attired in
the customary black.
After the ceremony a wedding
supper was served at the home of
the brides mother after which the
couple took the evening train for
Kansas City where they expect to
spend week, after which they wilt
go to their future home at Wann,
|. T., where Mr.. Cushenbery, with
his father, has established a broker
age business.
Mr.. Cushenbery is the only son
of DR.. and Mrs. ]. T. Cushenbery
OF this city and is a young man
whose worth is recognized by all
who know him, and it is matter
of general regret that he has decid-
ed to establish a business outside
of the confines of Barber county.
He has grown from childhood to
manhood in this neighborhood and
has already achieved great success.
He chose the banking business as
his profession after completing a
common school education and has
been connected with several differ
ent institutions, in all of which he
has demonstrated an aptitude that
would be credit to older and more
experienced ones.
The bride is not only a most
beautiful young ladyin appearance
but she is also beautiful in dispo-
sition and character. Her removal
from Medicine Lodge is as deeply
regretted as is that of her husband.
She IS admired by all who have
mingled with her socially and in
church work and to know her was
the same as to be her lasting friend.
She is the second daughter of Mrs
Ella Stevens.
The kindliest wishes and highest
regards of their Medicine Lodge
and Barber county friends follow
Mr.. and Mrs. Cushenbery to their
new home.
Probate Judge Garrison united
the fortunes of Robert C. Benet and
Nina M. Foster, in the Grand hotel
parlor Wednesday noon, March 9th.
Both parties reside at Kiowa.
Mr.. Arthur Ray and Miss Ger
trude M. Mitchell of Kiowa were
married in this city Tuesday even
ing, March 5th. Rev. c. A. Kitch
of Kiowa came with the couple to
tie the matrimonial knot.
The groom came to Barber coun-
ty in 1885 when very small boy
and has resided at Kiowa continu.
ously ever since. The writer has
known him ever since that time
and if there is bad spot in his
makeup anywhere we have never
been able to locate it.
We wish him and his bride life
of never ending joys, and may the
little Rays of sunshine multiply
with every year.
Victor E. Sleeper of Valley town.
ship and Emily S. Simmons of this
city were married at the residence
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jonathan Simmons, at noon Mon
day, March II, 1907, Probate Judge
Garrison officiating. The groom
is one of Valleys prosperous farm
ers and son of V. E. Sleeper and
wife. He adopted some very shrewd
tactics and came near beating this
moral guide out of the news Of the
marriage, and we suspect that the
Judge was also in the plot, but
then, there are other avenues of in
formation. We wish Mr.. and Mrs.
Sleeper an abundance of happiness
and prosperity.
Col. c. H. Eldred, formerly of
this county, was appointed post
master at Alva but the appoint
ment was made just a little too
late to be confirmed before congress
adjourned S0 that Col E1drad will
