Gladys Redmon to Harlow
Taylor Mattson. The cere.
mony was performed at the
residence of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Redmon
and the spacious apartments
were tastefully decorated with
cut flowers and festoons of
smilax and filled with the re.
latives of the two families and
numerous guests comprising
largely the Wahpeton friends
and few Breckenridge friends
of the contracting parties.
Master Robin Swain, cousin
of the bride, ushered the
guests on their arrival. The
event occurred shortly after
8 o'clock and was inaugurated
by vocal solo by Mrs. Neck

adjoining apartment the
clergyman Rev. Gallagher and
the groom and the ring bearer
Miss Carol Albrecht, who as
sumed a position in the bay
window of the back parlor,
between embankments of
green potted plants and stni-
lax against the lace curtains
of the windows. The bride
was preceded by 6 little flower
girls, Fama Milton, Grace Pat :

Beatty, Alice kidder AZ d Jean
Rittenhouse.
The bride followed leaning
on the arm of her father, who
gave her to the groom as she
reached her position under the
the wedding-bell. Prayer was
offered, after which the
reverend gentleman made
brief remarks pertinent to the
obligations about to be as
sumed, following with the
simple marriage service of the
Congregational church. The

ring in calla-lily to the groom,
who placed it on the brides
finger. Then followed warm
congratulations from all pre-

pleasantly served at small
tables. The young ladies act

boquet of brides-roses in full
bloom.

cut glass, silver, china, table
linen and an exquisite hand

How To Treat Your Banker,


1. Always rush in with
your deposit just as the bank
hours are over and the teller is
getting ready to go out to
lunch. This will impress him
with the idea that you are a
busy man, and he will await
your daily call with anxiety
and imprecations.
2. Whenever you make
mixed deposit of checks, bills
and silver, never try to arrange
it systematically 80 that it can
be counted readily. Hand it in
by the tistful and ask the teller
to make out the deposit slip.
Remember that he is paid to be
genial and accommodating to
the patrons.
3. Never take in your pass
book to be balanced, as request
ed, the last of the month. The
book-keepers have hundreds of
others to do, and they will ap-
preciate your thoughtfulness
in thus Tightening their month.
ly task. Keep it until the first
day of the ensuing month,
when they are overrushed with
other work and insist on hav-
ing it balanced while you wait.
4. In getting a check cashed,
never mention to the teller
what denomination of bills you
want. Wait quietly for what
ever he hands you, then push
it all back with the request for
something different. This will
give him excellent practice in
counting.
5. If you are a stranger at
the bank and the teller should
request your Identification be.
fore giving you any money,
assume fiercely aggressive
air, demand in loud, clarion
tones what he means by Insult
ing you, and inquire if he takes
you for swindler. Under
such circumstances, tellers
have sometimes been known to
pay small checks and take their
chances rather than engage in
further controversy.
6. Should you chance to
deposit small draft OIL San
Francisco, or other distant city,
for collection, run in the next
day and every following day to
ask if they have had returns
from it. By so doing you will
establish reputation for keep
ing a sharp eye on your bust.
ness, and the bank clerks will
have a chance to get well
acquainted with you.
A strict observance of the
foregoing rules will make your
accounts desirable for any
bank, and will render you a
general favorite wherever you
do business.

WHEREAS, it is deemed ex-
pedient. proper and good bust
ness policy that a Sheriff's
Residence and Jail be built in
this County upon the County's
Court House grounds at Wah-
peton, North Dakota,
~ Because the county Jail
now used is in an unsanitary
condition and great damage is
liable to result to the county
because of that condition; And,
Because the present county
Jail is unsafe, in that it gives
determined prisoners great op.
portunities to escape there
from, And.
Because the room afforded
by it will not permit the ac-
commodation of prisoners of
both sexes, and will not per-
NIT due separation of prisoners
of different dispositions.
(2) Because the Sheriff's
residence and Jail is not a
proper part of the Court House
in counties of the size of Rich
land,
(3) Because the Court
House, as it now is, is too small
to accommodate office room for
the various county Offices, but
could be arranged 80 that all
of such officers might be there
in accommodated, if a Sheriff's
residence and Jail were built.

save an annual expenditure of
at least One Thousand Dollars

a separate sheriff's residence
and Jail, which said sum is
now expended annually for
office rents by this county to
accommodate the county officers
who must find quarters outside
of the court house; And,
WHEREAS, it is the recognized
duty of this Board to build the
necessary county buildings
when funds are available for
that purpose; And,
WHEREAS, Such funds are
available and are now in fund
created for that purpose; And,
WHEREAS, in the judgment
of this Board there are su6ici-
ent funds available for such
expenditure;
Now THEREFORE BE IT RE-
Solved.
That the Board of County
Com missioners of Richland
County, North Dakota, cause
to be procured the necessary
plans and specifications for the
erection of a Sheriff's residence
and Jail on the court house
grounds at the City of Wahpe-
ton, North Dakota, and that
they thereafter cause the same
building to be constructed at
cost not to exceed 100000,
and that this Board draw up
on the existing Court House
Building Fund for the payment
thereof.
