1t wasn't Missouri editor but a
printers devil who was going through
his first experience on "m aking>up"
forms. The paper was late and the
boy got the gdlleys mixed. The first
part OF tn obituary notice Of a pecu-
NOUS citizen had been dumped in the
forms. and the next handful of type
came OF of galley describing a recent
fire. 1t read like this: THE pail
bearers lowered the body to the grave
apd as it was consigned to the flames
there were few if any regrets, for the
Old wreck had been an eye sore to the
town for years. OF course there was
individual loss, but that was fully
covered by insurance" The widow
thinks the editor wrote the obituary
that way because the lamented part
ner of her joys and sorrows owed him
five years subscription.
One of our citizens who occasionally
wipes the dishes for his wife, became
tired OF the job and refused, saying
that sit is not a mans work.. Not
feeling disposed to loose his help she
brought the Bible out to con vince him
of his error and read as follows from
III. Kings 2l:13: "And will wipe Jeru-
salem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping
it and turning it upside down." 1t is
needless to say that he is still doing
his occaSiOnly stunt.

A farmers team tied in the John
son & Hill sheds on the west side,
while the owner was attending church
Sunday, backed out of the shed
after breaking lose, and ran up Grand
avenue at terrific speed. The run
was short one, from Second avenue
to the Gross & Lyon corner, but it
was long enough to completely de-
molish the double-seated rig and
break the harness. The animals were
powerful and large, and it is said
were frightened by small boys who
were throwing stones at a mark.
One stone missed and hit the horses
when they broke away and started on
their mad run toward home.

The glass dial clock, ordered by the
city for the Library building some
months ago, has arrived. and Dwight
Huntington and the representative of
the company from whom the clock
was purchased, were busy this week
putting the time piece in place.
1t will be recalled that this clock
will be an Illuminated one in which
the time will be plainly visible at
night as well as day. In addition to
this the snow and sleet will not effect
it in the least and the public will
therefore be able to rely on the new
clock in all kinds of weather.
1t will take day or two to get the
new time piece in ''apple-pie order
afterwhich all will be much better
informed of the hour of the day.

True as Gospel.

Bro. Linn OF Canton wishes us to
believe that a subscriber Of his who
bears the Hibernian cognOmen of Dan
Sullivan allowed his subscription to
become three hours and five minutes
behind and as a penalty for the same
he 0ver-paid fifty cents. This is a
pretty big story but II the veteran
editor Of the Leader vouches for it's
truth we will have to swallow 1t.
Bro. Stnrges OF the Beresford Re
public kind o. wants our solemn AFR
nation backed by a notary to the
truth of the above. Fifty cents is
the smallest penalty Dan Sullivan
ever paid for being late, He owe
looked the date In 1905, and missed
by "a hours and he fined himself just
nj dollars worth of good cigars, and
went away mighty we'll pleased that
It wasn't any worse, but we want to
whisper in your ear, Brother, SO that
tile other boys won't think we are
hitting them, all our subscribers are
not as prompt as Dan Sullivan.

a Wedding Reception.

Henry M. Hanson gave a wedding
reception to Mr.. and Mrs. Alert Hell
Wig last Saturday evening out at the
Hanson home in Grand Valley, and
from all reports it was one of the
most enjoyable and pleasant recep-

in Grand Valley, and Grand Valley is
famous for social events.
Over M hundred guests were pres
ent to extend congratulations to Mr..
Helvig and his charming bride.
A grand wedding dinner was served
after which the young people enjoyed
a dance.
The large number of useful and val
liable wedding presents gave evidence
of the popularity of the bride and
groom, the latter being a son of Hon.
0. A. Helvig and the bride is a
daughter of Math Hanson, one of our
best known citizens and a Grand Val
ley pioneer.
Henry M. Hanson, who is a brother
of the bride, discharged the response
bic duties of host in such an elegant
manner as to win the hearty appreci-
alton OF all.
