first time for quite while that Mrs.
Baker has been able to make them
visit as it is such long drive and
there are no railroad facilities and no
interurban on which to travel, and
the autos of this city are so unreli-

reaching their destination or of being
able to return if they should.
Miss Eta Dove bad what might
have proven to be quite serious &C
cident On Thursday OF last week,
while riding on a pony belonging to
Charlie Goochey, a dog took after
them and so frightened the pony that
she could not control it. 1t ran into
a wire fence and threw her in such
manner that she lit on her head and
shoulders. She chung to the reins,
however, and again mounted the
pony and rode back home. Later
she felt somewhat ill and went to
bed, when doctor was summoned.
Eta does not remember anything
that happened after she came to the
wire fence, until after eleven o'clock
at night. We hope no serious re-
suits will follow. She is able to sit
up and move about the house some al

SWEET BELLS
Those Wedding Bells are Pealing;
Their Echoes Sweetly Greeting
The Friends of Audubon
Townships Son and
Daughter.

A very pretty ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Grant at the
Methodist parsonage in Audubon on
Wednesday, July 10, at three P. M.
when Mr.. John Robson, son of Mr..
Jos. r bison CT Ani'a, and Miss Fay
Herrick, the handsome daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Q. S. Herrick of Audu-

and were duly joined together in the
holy bonds of matrimony, only the
necessary witnesses being present to
witness the interesting event.
Mr.. Robson is a young man of
pleasing appearance, of good repute
and industrious and is we'll spoken of
in the community where he has
resided since childhood.
The bride was born and raised in
this vicinity and is we'll known to all
OF the citizens in and around Extra,
who lived here before her parents
moved to their present home. She is
esteemed very highly by every one of
her numerous friends who will wish
her all the sweets with none of the
better of married life and those
knowing them both personally
predict that marriage will be no
failure with them. They will at
once go to housekeeping on one of
the farms owned by the groom's
father which he has been farming the
the present spring and where we
leave them in all there happiness to
enjoy we hope, never waning
honeymoon.

Christian Church Notes
by the Pastor

The preacher and his wife, during
the past week, have had taste of the
strenuous life. Packing up, prepara-
tory to moving, is no laughing matter.
1t was q gracious deed for the Meth
odist minister and his flock to dismiss
their worship Sunday morning that
they might unite in the closing ser
vice of the present pastorate. The
fellowship manifested will never be
forgotten.
This is the last batch of items we
shall write for the Extra church. Our
relations with the editor of this paper
and all the staff have been of the most
enjoyable character. In q word, the
journal" family have treated US
handsomely. Good bye, ye printers !
The Bible school picnic last Thurs
day at Ed. Milliman's grove was q
great success. The day was all that
could be desired, and the grounds were
in splendid condition. More than q
hundred were present, and all enjoyed
themselves hugely.
For the many words of kindness
spoken to them by every body on the
eve of their departure the preacher
and his better-half are exceedingly
grateful. Such expressions of genu-
inc appreciation lead them to believe
that their iabors in the Lord have not
been in vain.
Our successor, Elder G. A. Poison,
writes us that without fail he will be
on hand next SUNDAY morning, the
2lst instant, at which time he will
preach his Introductory sermon as pas
tor of the church here. We trust that
all the members and friends of the
congregation will make special effort
to come out and hear him, and thus
in practical way show their sympa-
thy and fellowship with him.

The Blessed Old Maids.

No women have done more for hui
manity and for the individual than
the old-maid reformer and the old
maid aunt. There is none to whom
we owe deeper debt of gratitude,
and none whom we could not better
spare, says writer in the Cosmopoli-
tan. For be sure of this: God sends
old maids into the world to do
the work that the rest of us leave I'M
done.

Couldn't Be Done.

A colored preacher who had only a
small share of this worlds goods, and
whose salary was not Forthcoming on
several occasions, became eXasperated.
At his morning service he spoke to

Tobacco for Soldiers.

In all Lord Wolseley's campaigns he
made it rule, where possible to al
low each soldier one pound of tobacco
month, which he considered fair
allowance. In Italy the military au-
thorities recognize the weed as one
of the comforts essential to the
troops, and cigars are served out to
them with their daily rations.

THEN, WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER BE7

TN these piping times Of prosperty-high
4 prices and high living-it is astounding that
there are in any community skilled mill opera
tives-men and women, most of them with large
families dependent upon them-whose weekly
wages are held down to 81 and IS respectively
Common laborers are in demand at double the
wages paid skilled mill operatives in this city,
and household servants receive almost as much.
How those poor people exist on such wages is
difficult to understand. They surely have but
few OF the enjoyments of life and must econo-
mize rigidly on the actual necessaries The Sc
cret of how such families get along is disclosed,
perhaps, in the possession of the little children
who are shaving away their childhood lives in the
stuay mills and factories for few cents day in
order to make ends meet at home and enable the
president Of the mills company to draw yearly
salary of S1oo,ooo-over $500 for every working
day in the year land other officers in proper
ton Before daylight the pale and haggard
faces of the little children can be these cold
mornings before daylight vending their way to
the slave mills And at night see the little
things, hungry and tired, dragging their way
homeward They never have any childhood
They don't know what it means. We pity the
men in the hereafter who are responsible for
condition OF employment that makes it necessary
for parents to enslave their little children for the
enrichment OF their already fabulously rich and
soleless employers 1t is such conditions that
make Delaware stand at the top of the list of
child labor States Shame upon us But if the
teachings Of the Scriptures are true, and the love
Of the blessed Savior for little children be sincere
there will be a time and place, when and where,
the $500 day employer and the AZ cents day
child empoye will stand face to face, on the same
level. and be judged according to the love and
kindness each has shown to the other. 1T is not
all Of life to live, nor all OF death to die"
