Sunday evening lady and gentleman
drove an old mare up Main street and
the rig was followed by little colt. AT
the Masonic temple the rig was passed
by Gandy's automobile in which was q
merry party The colt became locoed
and turned and followed the machine.
He made good rare down Main street
and the operator was compelled to send
the machine along at rapid rate for
fear the colt would get in front of it
and cause a wreck, and only lost the
sucking by turning the corner at the
residence of Andrew Smail's residence
Meanwhile the occupants of the buggy
had driven to the power house before
discovering their loss and they had to
drive clear to Smaips to get the colt.
Rev. L. V. Slocumb, of the Metho-
dist church of this city, was called to
Mellette Saturday evening where Sun
day afternoon he performed toe mar
riage ceremony of George E. Weller to
Miss Ava Harrington. The reverend
says the wedding took place under an
arch of bridal roses The bridal party
approached the arch preceded by the
ring bearer, who carried the ring in a
Gala lily and scattered rose petals for
the bridal party to march upon. Both

The San Diego, CAL, Herald of recent
date has been received in this city and
contains half column of praise for
George w. Moulton as chief of police
of that city The article says in part
"The appointment is looked upon with
much favor, and those who know Mr..
Moulton intimately are aware that he
possesses every qualification for chief of
police. He is we'll educated, man of
courage and action, and is not like ly to
make any mistakes in the performance
of his duty. He is energetic and broad
minded, and his years of newspaper
work in the east, where every newspa-
per man must have the instinct of a
detective to succeed, will make,it smooth
sailing for the new chief from the very
start" Georges many friends in this
city will be glad to learn that he is
making good and forging the front in
his new California home.
DIR. and Mrs. Harry E McKibben, of
Hector, Mimi, arrived in this city on
Tuesday evening for visit with the
doctors parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. E.
McKibben, of this city. This will come
as surprise to Harry's many friends
not the visit, but the fact that he has
taken to himself wife. The young
man has grown to manhood in this
county, is young man of generous
education, splendid natural ability, the
best of morals and is very ambitious.
The lady of his choice was Miss Ella
Frances Lunder, of Hector, Mimi. We
have not met the young lady but have
been informed that she is of comely
appearance, many accomplishments and
happy disposition, just the woman
that rising young physician should
have for helpmeet. We congratu-
late the young couple and wish for
them all the happiness that can come
in this life.
Cards were received in this city the
first of the week announcing the mar
riage of Miss Dema Ray, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Ray, of this city,
to Dahl r. Robb, of Estherville, Iowa.
The wedding occurred at Sioux City on
Saturday, June 10, 1907. Dema was
born and raised in Day county. She is
well and favorably known to us all. All
admit that she is young woman of q
great deal more than ordinary strength
of character. At an early age she was
possessed of desi-- have the accom-
plishments Of Il .sof her sex, and to
her own untiri-. Efforts and persever-
ance principally are due the fact that
she is highly educated, refined and
polished lady who will be gladly well
coined into the best of society of any
city of the land. Miss Ray was one of
the teachers in the Sioux City schools
for two years and the best proof of her
merit is that she was engaged for next
year at an increased salary. We know
nothing of the young gentleman whom
she married, but her good Judgment in
the other affairs of life leads us to the
belief that she would not make mis-
take in the selection Of life partner,
and that she has secured one worthy Of
SO good and bright woman as she. All
Webster will extend congratulations.
