the ceremony taking place at the
home of the brides parents, MIR. and
Mrs. M. |. Cross. eight miles north

gether.
The groom is one of Grangeville' S
promising young men who has grown
up in our midst, and is now holding
clerical position in the Grangeyille
Sayings and Trust Company, while
the bride is young lady who is ad-
mired for her many commendable
and praiseworthy traits of character,
as many others besides the groom will
testify. The young couple will settle
down to the stern realities of married
life in Grangeville, where their many
friends will be able to shower them
with congratulations, in which line
the Globe will start in right now with
the right hand of fellowship.

Purchasing Agent. ~ 4

Prof. H. T. French, recently of
the State University, since moving to
Caldwell seems to have struck congen
lal atmosphere, and is displaying greater
versatility than ever before. He has
purchased an interest in the farm jour-
nal, the "Gem State Rural" has been
called to lecture at the Chicago con-
vcntlon, and lastly has become as
sociated with DIR. L. P. McCalla,
who has purchased a S60,0 ranch
near Star, and will engage extensively
in the raising of thoroughbred sheep
and cattle. Mr.. French is to select
the stock for the big ranch and will
leave for England the last of the year,
where he will visit the most noted
stock farms and purchase choice
bands of sheep, which will be
shipped direct to the big ranch near
Star.
While the north part of the state
and Mr.. French never seemed able
to hit it off just right, everybody
here will be pleased to know that the
professor has landed among friends
people who think he knows some
thing about stock raising and are will
ling to put up their good money to
exploit his ideas. The university off,
Gals are positive that he did not make
good in his work there, but that is no
bar to private citizens backing him
