"GOne To Get Married.

The mail wagon on Route Number
Six attracted much attention yester-
day morning because of large pla-
card which bore the inscription: Jim
Has Gone To Get Married." The wag-
on was driven by Hub White, of Route
Number Two, who took that method
Of informing the patrons that nothing
very serious had happened to the
genial jim" whom they are Away S
glad to see on his daily round. To be
more specific Mr.. James Keightly took
the train at noon on Tuesday for Gar
nett, Kansas, where he was married
on Wednesday, July IL, 1908, to Miss
Name Rice who hasfo several months
been visiting there at the home of her
brother, Mr.. Charles Fl. Rice. There
was nothing sudden nor unexpected
about this procedure as it had been
generally understood and assumed by
the community that sooner or later
there would be a wedding at which these
young people would be the chief par
Elephants. Mr.. Keightly and Miss Rice
are so well and favOrably known here
that words of introduction or common
dation from US are wholly unnecessary
Mr.. and Mrs. Keightly are expected
to reach Audubon along about Sun
day when they will receive a most cor.
dial welcome from many friends.

Ringlings' Big Circus

Ringlings' Big Circus had p big day
in Atlantic yesterday. The weather
was fine. Special trains were run from
all directions. Thousands of people
left their work for day of pleasure.
The train on the Audubon Branch had
ten coaches when it left Atlantic for
the homeward run last evening. The
circus has great magnetic power. 1t
draws upon all classes. AT all times
and everywhere people are enthused
when the circus comes. Many will sac
rifice the last cent or borrow fromtheir
neighbor to see the show. Once on a
time man is said to have sold the
cook stove to get money for the tick
cts. And what lot of money 1t costs
Round trip tiokts from Audubon one
dollar. Add to these the meals, the
sideshows, the peanuts, cracker jack
and candy. A Chautauqua ticket costs
one dollar and half for six days Of
instruction and entertainment. Some
will patronize both. But others prefer
q one day circus to six day Chau-
tauqua, and they have a right to their
preference.

Jerauid County Farm.

What was probably the highest price
ever paid for a large tract of land in
Jerauld county was paid this week
when A. r. Mcconnell sold his half
section one mile north of town for S65
per acre. This is, without question,
as pretty farm as can be found in
the whole northwest; fine buildings,
wells and fences, 300 acres under cul-
tivation and it is smooth as floor,
sloping to the east just enough for
drainage. o. w. Melton is the lucky
purchaser and he knows what Jerauld
county land will do. He has farmed
land just north of this for several years
and has already owned two nice farms.

there is the setting of all the adver-

much time, to do the printing requires

to insist upon honesty in business
