HOLIDAY NUPTIALS.
Well Known Citizens of DEBORAH Arc
United i'm the Bonds of
Matrimony.
REEVES-BULIS.

On Saturday, at the home of the
brides brother in Arkansas City,
Kansas, occurred the marriage of
two of our we'll known citizens, Mr..
Henry Reeves and Miss Ada Bulls,
daughter of Mrs. H. S. Bulls. The
newly married couple have been
spending the honeymoon in Chicago,
and are expected to arrive in DEBORAH
within a few days. Both the bride
and groom have a large acquaint-
ance throughout the city and county.
The bride is a talented lady of cul-
ture and rare attainment, and was
for some years engaged as instruct
ress in the educational institutions
of the city. The groom is one of the
most prominent business men in
northeastern Iowa, having been en-
gagged for several years in buying
and shipping hogs, having buyers in
numerous towns throughout this
section, and has been unusually sue
cessful. They have many friends
who will join in extending congratul-
ations.

New County Officers.

With the advent of the new year
there will be but two changes in the
personnel of the county officers in
the court house. The two new offic-
ers will be Prof. Sigurd ReQue,
county superintendent and G. Jorg-
enson, county treasurer. Both of
them are splendidly equipped for the
work of their offices, and we have no
doubt that they will both give the
best satisfaction, for they are court
eous, obliging gentlemen, and come
from two of our very best families.
MIR. Jorgenson has appointed Mr..
Lloyd G. Christen, who has been as
sisting in the office of county auditor
for some time, as deputy. He is a
good accountant and his experience
will be of much value to him in the
new position. He will make good
without a doubt.
Mr.. N. Willet also succeeds Mr..
Strand as county attorney. He has
served the county faithfully in this
capacity before, and can scarcely be
regarded as a new man at the work.
His experience will be of much value
to him in his work in this important
OiiCe.

REED-MATHER.

At 1870 o'clock today, at the
home of the brides sister, Mrs. B. j.
Reynolds, Mr.. Luther Reed and Miss
Ann Amelia Mather were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony, Rev.
DR.. M. Willett officiating. They de-
parted on the Rock Island train this
afternoon for Cedar Rapids, Mar
shalltown and Mason City, where they
will spend the honeymoon visiting
among relatives and friends. This
is union which will elicit the hearty
congratulations of everyone who
knows them. The bride is lady of
grace and refinement, whose genial
disposition has won for her many
friends in DEBORAH, and the groom is
a gentleman who bears the respect
and esteem of all who know him,

A Two Page ADV.

You can't help but see the big two
page adv. in this issue for A. Neish

monster "Pre-Inventory Sale" to be
started by this big store on Saturday
morning. The store will be closed on
Thursday and Friday to mark down
the stock and Saturday morning at
eight o'clock the fun will begin. A
short time ago Mr.. Neish got onto the
fact that one of the biggest manufact-
urers in the country was hard up,
and to save financial difficulty was
willing to sell big lot of goods at a
great sacrifice. These Mr.. Neish
gobbled up mighty quick, and his
adv. tells all about it. Read it all
it names prices and bargains that will

A Dutch Auction.

Do you know what a Dutch Auct-
ion is? Well, go to Brunt G. Parman' s
and find out. They have a beautiful
$50 cut glass punch bowl and a
handsome $50 cut glass vase, which
they are going to place on sale. These
articles will be started at the price
named, and the price on the punch
bowl reduced one dollar each day
and on the vase fifty cents each day
until sold. If you wish you can make
a bid and leave it at the store, and
when the price reaches your bid, if
the article is not sold you get it at
your price. We imagine that consid-
cradle excitement will be created by
this Dutch Auction.
