WHSon-Jenkins

At the home of MIR. and Mrs. George
w. Wilson at 10 o'clock Thursday morn
ing took place the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Vessie B. to Eldridge K.
Jenkins. The ceremony, which was
performed by Rev. F. w. Gress, pastor
of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church,
was witnessed by only the family of the
bride.
Immediately after the ceremony, Mr..
and Mrs. Jenkins left for Manning, where
they will be "at home" to their friends
after May 25th.
The bride came to Dickinson from
Rock Rapids, Iowa, with her parents a
few years ago. Her duties as clerk in
the office of the county treasurer and the
postofice gave her a large acquaintance
in this locality, and the number of her
friends are counted by her acquain-
tances.
MI. Jenkins, editor of the Dunn County
News, came from Luverne, Mimi, last
fall on a business and pleasure trip.
He liked western North Dakota and was
conducting the News at Manning within
a few days after the county seat was
located. The News has prospered under
Mr.. Jenkins management and the editor
has made many friends in Dickinson and
Dunn county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jenkins were acquain-
tances at her former home in Iowa and
had been intimate friends for several
years. They have the best wishes of
many friends for a long and happy
welded life.

Notes

n.y.. . |
The fire wardens inspected the fire
escapes at the high school building this
week.
About fifty public documents were re.
ceived by the High school from the su.
perintendent of public documents at
Washington, D. c. Several of these
will be quite valuable as reference books
in school work.M es- sissEgNRsss @
The following High school pupils were
perfect in attendance and punctuality
during the month of April: Frank Da-
Wis. Maggie Harkins, Mabel Hayes, John
Jeferies, Margery Johnson, Watt John

Litch, Pearl Nichols, Sadie Nichols,
Louis Palmer, Elsie Pelissier, Susie Pen

Lee Hefron, Jessie Pendergast, Malena
Wage. The percentage of attendance
in the High school during the month of
April was greater than in any other
month.
On Monday the class in ancient his
tory took a lessen upon the subject of ex-
cavation and discoveries in Egypt, the
East and Italy. This is a subject of
great interest, and it is wonderful how
much has been unearthed in these old
lands during the last century. Egypt
was the first to call attention and much
was done there in the first half of the
nineteenth century, though much more
has been done since. 1t was not until
the middle of the century that Layard
surprised the civilized world by his dis
coveries in Assyria. Since then excava-
vators have done SO much that we know
perhaps more about the customs, social
life, etc. of these people than of any
other ancient nation. In Italy this work
was begun much earlier but there is still
a great deal to be done. The Italian
government is just o preparing to lay
bare the ruins of Herculaneum, a city
near Pompei which was destroyed at
the same time.

THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF
SUFFERING.

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for the
reason that it is the most common of all
ills, and it is certainly gratifying to suf-
ferers to know that Chamberlain's Pain
Balm will afford relief, and make rest
and sleep possible. In many cases the
relief from pain, which is at first temper.
airy, has become permanent, while in
old people subject to chronic rheums.
tism, often brought on by dampness or
changes in the weather, a permanent
cure cannot be expected; the relief from
pain which this liniment affords is alone
worth many times its cost. IS and 80
