Sat the bat" so years hence. While
il is no more our duty to push for
Greater Hickman than yours. We
believe in it, and every citizen ought
to believe in it.
II has always been the aim Of this
paper to keep abreast of the times !;
and just to celebrate our S0th ami
vesary, we are installing modern
type-setting machine, known as
Linotype" For so years. every
letter you have seen in The Courier
was picked out of box one-at-a-time
by hand, and thus assembled into
words. This has been no small task
as thousands and thousands must be
picked up ana thus assembled each
week and rprinting. each charac-
ter had 10 be put back into its own
box. The Linotype displaces this
tedious task. and is capable of do
ing the work Of ten good "type-set-
ters." The machine is almost hu-
man, so to speak. and contains more
single component parts than any
other machine made. II does not
"set" type, but makes new type by
merely touching key, working on
the same principle as a typewriter.
II is a marvel among modern inven-
tions, and only through its instru-
mentality is the large daily paper
enabled to give you the worlds
events "before they are ccld." 1t
will enable US to give our readers a
better paper. This is an anniver-
rary gift to ourselves in labor-sav-
ing and TO our readers in a more in.
teresting paper. While a Linotype
costs from 50, 900 to $4,000. We APP
preciate the continued patronage Of
our readers enough TO give them the
advantage OF the best things ago
ing.

honor Of being the Oldest newspaper
In Western Kentucky.
II would be a hard proposition TO
impress the reader with all the ups
and downs In the life Of newspaper a
half-century OF ago but suffice to
say that The Courier has had It's
share Of both.
As the files OF this paper will show
there have been some wonderful
changes in the affairs Of The Cour-

is that length Of time so Insignificant

haIe-Sanser.

Two of Hickman's most popular
young people we're united in mar
raige in this city last night at 10
O'Clock. The contracting parties
were Miss Icie Hale, the charming
daughter of B. G. Hale, and Mr..
Henry Sanger, son of J. Sanger.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. J. w. Waters, at the pastor
ium, in the presence of number of
"uninvited" guests, who having
"got next" stormed the young peo-
pie at tn. hour appointed for the
wedding. Miss Estelle Reneau and
John Meacham we're the only atten-
dants to the contracting parties.
After the ceremony, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sanger latter passing through the
usual shower Of rice) boarded the
10 80 train and left for Chattanooga
and other points to be gone about
two weeks.
The bride is we'll known to many
of our readers. For the past two
years she has been employed as a
teacher in the Hickman College, and
is a talented young lady, possessing
those lovable qualities embraced in
the highest type of womanhood.
which have won for her the esteem
and admiration of large circle of
friends.
Mr.. Sanger holds a responsible
position with the Hickman Hard
ware Co. and is popular in business
and social circles. If there is
better or more sensible young man
in Hickman, we have failed to make
his acquaintance. His good habits.
industry and courteous manner have
placed him high in the estimation of
all who know him.
After July l, they will be at home
in Hickman, in the residence now
occupied by r. B. Johnson.
In the words of Rip Van Wrinkle,
"May you both live long and pros
per"-is the wish Of the Courier and
your many friends.

Sues for Divorce.

esting case in local divorce an
nails was begun in Judge James court
Thursday. Samuel L. Berryhill is
seeking a divorce from his wife,
Belle Berryhill, on the ground of
misconduct.
"The couple married in Union
City, Tenn, March 10, 1907. and
within thirteen months the wife had
left her husband and returned to her
old home, only to be served with
summons in divorce, a proceeding of
which, it is alleged, she had no
previous notice.
"The husband wasonthe standard
finished his direct testimony. Ber-
ryhill charged his wife with all sorts
Of indiscretions, declaring that she
not only drank whisky excessively,
but that she smoked cigarettes and
was too free with other men, several
of whom the witness named in open
court.
"It was IN evidence that she is a
musical composer of some ability.
and that her compositions have been
publised by Chicago house.
An effort was made in the cross
examination to show that Berryhill
had imposed upon the credulity of
the girl, who was a Miss Wardell
before her marriage, by pretending
to her that he was wealthy, that he
had not treated her properly during
their married lite, and that his
allegations of her unfaithfulne SIS
we're entirely unfounded.
"Word has been broughtfrom AT
torney Wardell, the wife's father,
that he has no desire to oppose
divorce on the grounds other than
those involving the good name of
his daughter. but that he will never
stand for any such accusation and
to that end will putupa stiffcontest. "

at Weimer includes the whole week,
with special performances of Schil-
ler's greatest dramas at the Court
theatre.
The general enthusiasm manifest
ed throughout Germany in honoring
the memory of Schiller upon the oc-
casion of the 150th anniversary of his
birth caused a remarkable revival of
the poets great dramas. Not only
did Schiller's plays completely mon
opolize the stage in all German
speaking countries today, but in
many of the larger cities the prin-
cipal theatres have placed some of
the most popular plays of the great
writer upon the repertory for the
entire week. Impressive exercises
were held in public and private
schools throughout Germany and the
German speaking parts of Austria.

SCHILLER MEN,

Berlin, Nov. 10. - Throughout
Germany and in many other coun-
tries, wherever the German tongue
is spoken, the 150th anniversary of
Schiller's birth was observed today
and in almost every German city or
town special celebrations were held
In honor of the great poet whose
memory is dear to every German. In
Berlin, Vienna and other large cities
municipal celebrations took place, in
which all the schools and civic So
cieties ana institutions took part.
Literary societies and other organ
izations in all parts of Germany and
Austria had made especial prepare

mortal exercises.
The principal celebration, how
ever, was held at the little town Of
Wurtemberg, where Johann Chris
toph Friedrich Won Schiller was born
in 1859. The old-fashioned, but
well preserved house in which the
poet first saw the light of day, was
the Mecca of thousands Of pilgrims
who came from all parts of Europe
to pay their tribute to the memory
of the most popular of the two liter
airy giants of the German nation.
Hundreds of municipalities and liter
airy societies. universities and dra-
matte organizations in all parts Of
Europe sent representatives to de-
post laurel wreaths and flowers in
Schiller's birth-house.
Nearly every German city and
town of any prominence has at least
one statue of Schiller and everywhere
these statues were decorated with
wreaths and flowers. Particularly
elaborate and interesting was the
celebration at Weimar, where Schil-

NEW YORK. July I'm its general APP
pearance the stock market today was even
more torpid than yesterday. but the actual
transactions were somewhat more num-

The weakness which developed early

ing effect on sentiment toward the whole

uneasiness over the copper trade situa-

sharply in London, and quotations for the

exchange in New York. Reports of rapidly
expanding activity by the electrical equip
ment companies with corresponding de-
mand for copper did not prevent a weak
tone In the copper industTials.

the long drawn out claims in behalf OF
the project for listing on the Paris
Bourse.
A sharp upturn in the wheat market
followed reports of heavy rains In the
region where harvesting Is in progress.
There was some dissatisfaction expressed
by sellers of stocks over the progress OF
the tariff bill at Washington and the
growing belief that the corporation earn
ings tax will be Incorporated and the
resolution to submit an income tax amend
ment be passed.
The principal sustaining factor In the
market was the steady accumulation Of
Southern Pacific and an effective demand
for one or two of the corn carrying rail-
roads. notably and Atchison and Rock
Island.
The brilliant prospects reported for the
corn crop, and which is expected to show
in the government crop report tomorrow,
helped this group and other influences

orders for Southern Pacific that were con-
sidered significant, as were the purchases

were being made for New York account.
The stock bettered Its previous record
price by %d1%. Both Southern Pacific and
Atchison were subject of renewed rumors
of an Intended dividend Increase. Rock
Island had an advantage from the sale
Of N0,O 600, 900 Of the bonds Of its subsidiary
company, the st. Louis & San Francisco

remained easy in tone.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
