STEPHENSON

LEcTED TO LEAD PARSONS
COLLEGE ELEVEN.

Fairfield. Oct. 1.--(Special.)--
renee Stephenson of Libertyville, has
been elected captain Of the Parsons
college football team. The lateness OF
the election is due to the fact that this
is Parsons first year in footbiNl f''r
three seasons. Stephenson is asenlJf
and Ia the only man in school with
college experience.
Parsons plays it's first game with
Wesleyan at Mt. Pleasant Saturday,
and the result of the game is all-in,,
portant among the students of the
two schools and residents of the two
towns. Parsons and Wesleyan were
formerly great rivals in athletic lines,
but this will be the first time they
have met for three years.
Parsons is sending out a light, mex
perienced team this year after two
weeks practice, and the squad is not
expected to do wonders. While the
Mt. Pleasant school is not expected TO
walk off with the game to any notice.
able extent, decided advantage is
conceded Wesleyan, because of the
fact that their men have had a years
experience. Parsons students are glad
however, to see athletic relations
with Wesleyan resumed, in spite Of
the fact that the team that will rep.
resent their institution is an uncer-
tain quantity.

MT. PLEASANT COUPLE GET
HUNTERS LICENSE AS PASS
PORT TO Welded STATE

pew, was the predicament in which
two youthful seekers of passports to
bliss who hailed. from Mount

ing. in their search for the above men
toned permit to wed, licenses to hunt
We're obtained instead. 1t all came
about like this. Albert Barton and Miss

Burlington No. 3 this morning. they
arranged with Rev. Jonathon Lee, pas
tor of the South Ottumwa Baptist

rangements completed, the couple pro-
ceeded to the court house to obtain the
license and await the arrival of the
minister. All was well thus far until
failing to stop at the office Of the clerk
they proceeded on to that Of the coun-
ty auditor.
Here they We're met by the affable
deputy auditor, James Stevens, who
upon being requested to furnish a
license to Mr.. Barton, straightway be-
gan the filing out of the same. In like
n amer upon request Of the lady who
stated that she too wanted a license,
another permit was made out. The
work finished Deputy Auditor Stevens
as is usual in such cases, explained the
law regarding the hunters license IN
detail. 1t was soon preceived that a
had been made and the mat
ter was settled by showing the couple
to the clerks office where the proper
license was duly made out and the
timely arrival of the minister, Rev. j.
Lee saved further embarrassment by
marrying the couple in the vault at the
clerks office.
They left for Mt. Pleasant on BurI-
ington, No. 17S and will make their
home in the Henry county metropolis.
