Everytime the closet Of your neishbor

Can't you get 1t into your head that some
day the tongue Of slsnder may cut you
like q sharp sword, and the whispers of
your nei&hbors be as vinegar on your
wounds? Misfortune and disgrace may
have overtaken your neiehbor but it i'll
becomes you to set out on the house-tops
and shout it to the werId. You will not
be called upon to pay for your neishbors'

 Again the people of Fontitown responded to the call of the bells, but this time their steps were directed toward St. Joseph $ Church, at whose fragrant altar stood Rev. Father Bandini, ar- rayed in his richest VeStments, waiting to bless the nuptials of two of his dearest spiritual child ren. At s o'clock q. Ill. the strains of the wedding march subsided as the fair young bride, Miss Teresa Roso, leaning on the arm of her father, Mr. Guis- ippi Roso, approached the Sane tuary where she was met by the groom, Mir. Dominica Bariola with his attendant, NIT. D. Geikl. The bride was becom1ngly attlr- ed in costume of blue and white, Cher Sodality eolors. She was assisted by Miss Mary Cor tiana, also member of the Sod ality of The Children of Mary. '
 Very impressive Was the beau- tiful marriage ceremonial, as kneeling before the altar m the presence of their pastor, parents, and friends, the young couple pronounced the conSecrated vows which no human power can ever annul. Having invoked God $ blessing on thetr union, Key. Father Bandini congratulated the happy couple and addressed them in words which could be spoken to them only on such all occasion but which they will lovingly treasure and frequently recall as they tread hfe's way to- gether whether their path be strewn with flowers or studded with thorns.

May their joys never grow less as they pass each mlle-post in life.
 The interurban fever Is begin ming to show to some extent in our little town since w. E. Foran, w. H. Crossland and A. w.

It seems since the failure to agree upon terms with Cave Springs and Springdale people, the next objective point is to cross the Frisco at this place and wend their way tc to Huntsville provided everything is favorable.
