The Tie That Binds.

George r. Dunkin and Stella NJ. Cav
in Of Sharon township were married at
the home Of the brides parents on Sum
day. February 18th. Rev. A. N.
Scoville, pastor Of the United Breth-
rem church. performed the ceremony.
The wedding was attended by the
relatives Of the contracting parties and
many invited guests. An elaborate din
ner was spread after the marriage vows
were made and it is needless to add that
this feature Of the gathering was most
heartily enjoyed.
The groom is the third son Of ]. r.
Dunkin and wife. He is genuine Kan
sas product, was born and brought up
here and bears allegiance to no other
state on the Creators footstool. He is
another Of the famous Sharon Valley 5
industrious and highly esteemed young
men. Having grown from childhood to
manhood in that immediate vicinity, his
life is an open book to his neighbors and
friends but nothing can be found to his
discredit. And this is the highest COM
pliment that could be paid to any young
man as he enters upon the threshold Of
the greater battles Of life.
The bride is a most estimable lady Of
Sharon township. She is sister of Lee
ford Gavin, now with the Fair Mercan-
tile house Of this city. She has been a
favofite among the young people Of east
ern Barber for a number Of years and
enjoys very large circle of admirinfg
friends.
This is the second marriage III the
Dunkin home during the past two
weeks. Mr.. Dunkin and wife are
blessed with SIX children. Three
Of them are now married and three
are still at home. The Dunkins have
reason to look back at their ancestry
with reasonable pride. and there is
every reason for assurance that the young
generation will keep up the family fame.
Another thing that contributes to their
good traits is that they are gunuine dem
ocrats. which is another way Of saying
that they are a great help to the country
in a political way. George married a
democratic lady, but the other son.
Lemuel. who was married week earG-
er. chose arepublcan lady. and here's
hoping that he may be able to persuade
her that she is wrong in the faith.
But this is digressing. The Index
finds great pleasure in rendering to these
worthy young couple its most hearty con-
gatulaions and good wishes.

II CribMte
To Memory Of my Old Time Friends Jim and John DObSOn
BY THE PILGRIM BARD

How many clouds of chilling gloom
Darken lifes pathway to the tomb
Cherries midnight on the ocean wide
Full often sighs the weary heart
AS dearest friends this life depart
And forever FER the dark divide.
The warblers song, the sweetest flowers,
All feebly cheer Affections hours;
We only bow heads and weep and trust.
Comes that grim visaged reaper by,
All that is born must die, must die,
Our fondest idols crumbe-dust to dust.
Two of my dearest friends gone,
Great hea rted brothers, Jim and John,
Their friendly hands casped when met.
Brief space apart, alike, they fell;
Well nigh commingled funeral knel.
/ cannot think them dead see them yet.
Now two frail widows, lonely, weep
Der brothers wrapped in dreamless sleep,
Sadly bereft, alas, uncontrolled.
o more than friends, this simple lay
My requiem DER your lifeess clay
The Bard's poor tribute to the honored dead
knew them WELL time tried and true,
Two kindlier hearts knew;
Loved honored and esteemed by and all
Though unaled creed
They neer denied friend in need
Nor turned deaf to affction's call
Of deeds done in the body here,
The balance sheet they need not fear,
When the great book is opened up high.
Heaven shield the widowed ones anon;
Adieu, dear Jim, adieu dear John,
Wen meet you in bright "Aiden," bye and bye

r. E. McAIGster gathered at her home
last Thursday afternoon to enjoy fare
well surprise in her honor between the
hours Of and 6. The fact that Mrs.

any Of them. In addition to other pleas

The state senate has passed a bill
which does away with working out poll
tax and instead compels every male citi-
zen between the ages Of 2l and SO
years to pay cash poll tax Of So per
year. Road work is to be done under
the supervision Of the county engineer
and his district road oyerseers. The
county commissioners must approve the
plans for working the roads but they can
not appropriate a greater ammount of
money for road purposes than recon-
mended by the county engineer. The
poll tax IS to be strictly a county fund
and can not be used for any other pur-
pose except for improving public high
ways. Cities are not included and all
cities are sdll under the street commission
er system unless the house makes amend
ments. 1t is not certain that the house
will reach this bill at all for the session
of the legislature is nearing the closing
hour.
