A WEDDING IN ROxBURY.


 What time there is in store for the small boys, land also for some of the big ones), when Clarence gets around, next week. They are hunting up all the old tin pans that have got holes in them, so they can make ter rible noise. There is not a horn in town but has been secured, all kinds from a dinner horn to fog horn, and would you believe it, MT Editor, they have secured the services of a green horn. Of course the readers of the busy BEE will want to know what is all this noise about, and I may as well tell them in as few words as possible. That on March II, Rev Walter Downs Humphrey tied knot so hard on two of our young people of this place that it will take a lifetime to undo it.

Miss Helen Goodsen was a teacher in Room B ot the Weller school, where she held 8 position for nearly three years. This is the second young lady that had the honor of wearing the matrimonia badge from Weller district school since the present committee was pu, in as caretaker. No wonder the com mfttee looked smiling, this morning while smoking one of Clarence's cigars When asked the reason, he burst ou | in fit of laughter and said that h, had six applications already to ueacl
