Wedding

Wednesday evening June 3, 1905
about forty guests witnessed a
very pretty wedding at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs, d. N. Weeks of Pear
Township when their daughter
Ethel Irene was united in marriage
to Mr. David Nelson, also of Pearl.
The rooms were t~astefully decor.
ated in white and green. crysan.
themums deing used profusely.
The bride and groom marched in.
to the room and took their place
under an arch, the center of which
was a large wedding bell, from
which white ribbons and crysan-
themums were gracefully draped
across the corner, the back ground
being all white and green.
The bride was becomingly gowned
in a dress of champagne chiffon
panama, made jumper style and
worn with a waist of ruffled silk lace
while the groom wore the conven-
tional black.
The ceremony took place about
eight o'clock the Rev. C. Howard
CRUDE of Miller officiating.
AFTER the congratulations a three
course supper was served. Many
useful and beautiful presents were
received by the young couple.
The bride was one of Hand Co.'S
successful teachers while the groom
is an honest Industrious young
farmer.
These young people start on their
journey of welded life with the best
wishes of all their many friends.
They will reside on the farm of
the groom in Pearl Township where
he has recently had a new house
erected.

A Local Ball Team

So many invitations to play ball
have been received in Miller that
the local players have decided to
organize, and take up the national
sport in earnest. Mr.. R. H.
Andrews has been selected as mana
ger of the team, and if the business
men will give the boys some help
and encouragement they will pro-
coed to make the best club possible.
1t is a good clean sport, if con-
Quoted properly, and livens up
things considerably through the
summer season. The boys need
suits. mits, mask. bats, balls, etc.,
and rightly say. that if they furnish
the amusement, the town ought to
help with the expense.

i IL man should come tramping into
your parlor, besmearing the rugs or
carpets with the mud, slime and filth
that had adhered to his boots as he
worked In the sewers or walked in the
wet cutters, there would be an ex-
ceedingly lively protest and a very
thorough cleaning after he had been
ordered out or kicked out. A resort
to violent measures to get rid Of such
an affront and menace would be up
held by the courts and by public senti-
ment. And yet just such a nuisance,
only more impudent and dangerous, is
tolerated in every house, with but lit,
tie effort to expel him or with but in
different protests as to his presence
The common housefy, says the New
ark News, is an unmitigated thief and
scoundrel, a filth-bearing, disease-car
rying rascal who does not stop at de-
filing rugs and carpets and furniture
but who deliberately and with intent
sets his dirty feet anywhere, even
upon the victuals you eat.

Science will never make wars I'M
oossible. because science can never
limit the ingenuity and knowledge OF
men to a single channel. The de-
fensive will ever keep pace with the
offensive, and destructiveness will
sooner or later carry its own antidote
When mems hearts are cleansed and
purified, when peace becomes the
ideal of heroism and courage, then
and then only will wars cease upon
the earth, declares the Philadelphia
Ledger. And the same humane infiu-
ences can be depended upon, In all
probability, to prove the faisity OF the
dismal predictions of the fatal trend
os commercial progress.
