al years ago is the girl. She was
married Saturday to Walter ]. Hol-
brook, President of the Holdbrook-
Blackwelder Real estate s. Trust Com
pany OF st. Louis, who at one time
employed her as bis stenographer
The ceremony was at the home Of
Mrs. Purcell's stepmother, L. B. Mil
Ter, No. 40l5 A Lindwell boulevard,
by the Reverend @. Arthur Lincoln,
assistant pastor Of the Pilgrim Con-
gregatlonal Church. The ceremony

Miss Francis Purcell. Mr.. Holbrook
was attended by his business associate,
George II. Blackwelder, secretary Of
the trust company. The ceremony
was a very quite affair. Aside from

trip to Europe and were accompanied
by Miss Purcell.

the lump sum $3.50, 900 Eallmony. A

ed she filed a satisfaction Of judge
ment. Since then she has made her
home with friends In st. Louis, while

the hogs sold today we're put over the
scales at s6 65 to $500. The close was
rather dull. in anticipation Of in
creased receipts, owing to this ad-
vance; and increased receipts late
this week will operate the same as
they did last week in forcing a lower
market. 1t will only be temporary

keeping good hogs at home on any
