 CAPTURED BY CUPID
Especial to the Journal Miner.)

Special to the Journal -Miner.)
 SANTA MONICA, Cal, Oct. 20.- G. W. Sessions, twenty-eight years a justice of the peace of Cherry Creek precinct, Yavapai county, who says he performed more than a thousand wedding ceremonies himself, and Mrs. Alice Beardsley of Westgate, were united in marriage here today by Justice Steele of the Santa Monica township court. Judge Steele was on his way to take the car to Los An geles when the Arizona justice in tercepted him. The Santa Monica judge explained that he was called to Los Angeles on pressing business but consented to offieiate at the eere- mony after the Arizona justice de- clared "Here is a case that cannot be postponed"
 After a short wedding trip, MT. and Mrs. Sessions will go to Pres colt, where they will reside.
 Mr. Sessions is one of the honored pioneers of this county. He was a resident of Cherry Creek over thirty years before coming here to reside few years ago. He is known as the father of Cherry Creek and has many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren residing in this county. He is veteran of the Civil War, and although he has passed the 76th milestone in life is still hale and hearty, and the physical superior of many men of forty.
 His hosts of friends will join in wishing him bon voyage in his sec ond venture on the matrimonial sea. That he and the woman he now proudly claims as bride will be ae- corded a cordial welcome to their home here goes without saying.

Farming Operations.

The weather for tie past
month has offered the farmers
an opportunity to prerare the
soil for planting and we hear it
frequently said that more land
has been turned by the plow
than ever before at this time.
From all sections comes this re
port and indications are that the
farmer will get an even start
with the season. This has not
been the case for the past three
years and the preparation of the
soil and planting has been i'm
perfectly done. With the soil
we'll prepared and the seed
properly put in the ground. the
heavy work in making a crop is
over. The question of cultivation
then means only frequent STIR
ring of the soil and keeping
down the grass and weeds.

A Multitude Of Rats.

Seeing a notice in your paper
some time ago of Tony r.
Great Snow balls" reminds m,
of the rat killing at Nell Birming
hams hay barn a few days age
A neighbor was p ssing the barr
one night and hearing a noise ir
the barn went to the house ano
told Mr.. Birmingham that some.
body was in his barn stealing his
hay. G)ing out to see what it
was, they found it was only rats
moving the baled hay to suit their
own convenience. So the neigh
Dor boys begged leave to have a
rat killing, which was granted
them. They met and began to
move the hay and when they
would get the hay moved down
to where they thought they had
the rats hemlned up, the ra 9
would just carry the bales of hay
on their backs and run around to
the largest piles, so it was some
trouble for the boys to get a blow
at them, but the boys sue
ceeded in getting gool many,
and when they piled the rats up
in a pile it looked almost like a
mountain, or, larger than any
SNOWFALL, to say the least Of
them; and it would have taken
factory much longer to work
them into mince pies than it
would for any snow ball to melt.
II each of those rat tails had
been a nail there would have
been nails enough to have bull
that house, and if each of those
rat skins hal been a shingle
there would have been enough tc
have covered that house with
veranda on each side. In fact,
hose rats would not have had
more than room enough in tha'
house for a square dance wit
but little room for wall grin
ners."

them two daughters, Miss Sou

Steve, Sam, Larkin, Fletcher and
George. All Of whom survive
him. His devoted companion
preceded him to the grave a year
and four months. Mr.. Smith
was a man Of many noble traits
Of character. His friends are

He possessed mind with fine

been the pleasure of this writer
to often visit his pleasant home,
and there always found him
cheerful, hospitable and exceed
ingly Courteous. He was always
ready and anxious to lend his
help within his means for the
comfort and betterment of his
fellow-man. He possessed all
the traits of character of high
and noble man. He despised any,
thing that did not tend to elevate
manhood. One Of the greatest
ambitions of his life was to rear
and educate his children, that
they might show to the world
that his life had been worth Iiv-
ing. While for some reason Mr..
Smith had never attached him
self to any branch of sthe Chris

and his whole life work was that
of a noble good man. He was
always anxious, ready and will

CITY ISLANDER
MAYOR REILLY RECEIVES LET
TER FROM ERIToR WHICH Ac.
kNOWLEDGES MISTAKE AND
WHO HAS PROMISED RETRAc-
TON IN MARCH ISSUE.

Mayor Frank Reilly yesterday re
ceived letter from Walter H. Page,
edltor OF The Worlds Work. in which
1t was confessed that the recent ar
t1cle, slanderous to Pensacola insti-
tutions, is not now applicable, and
the magazine will contain an edi-
torial in its March number refuting
any SANDER which may have been re-
fected from the article. The letter
confesses that the article was A
SANDER and regret is expressed that
the article of the writer should have
expressed such sentiments. The let
ter in full, however, is as follows:
Dear Strive were very glad in
deed to receive your explanation OF
the Pensacola Jail, and we are sorry
that a passage in Mr. Irvine's auto
biography should have seemed to re-
fleet on your city. | say seemed be-
cause l think that all persons who
have been reading Mr.. Irvines auto
biography understood clearly that it
was good many years ago, when he
was in Pensacola. The whole con-
text shows that this was at much
earlier period of his life.
Still if the thought had occurred
to him or to us that there was any
OOhSCL VI "ldI uC WIOlS
for a description of the present condi-
ton, a direct statement would have
been made in the passage, reminding
the reader that this state of affairs
existed at a previous period.
1--WE shall take great pleasure in
making a correction with more promt-
nence than the mistake. That is to
say, we shall publish in an editorial
in the March number of the maya
zine a statement to show that Mr..
Iryine's remark does not now apply
to the Pensacola Jail. This statement
in an editorial will be more promi-
nent than Mr.. Irvine's statement in
an article in the body of the maya
zine.
But it is wholly impracticable for
us to publish pictures of the jail.
There are no pictures of the jail
which he described.
| Let me say in conclusion that II
gives us pleasure to correct what we
are Hardly willing to grant is a sland-
| er-it was not so meant-because OF
| the difference in time. But we don t
stand upon formalities and technicali-
| ties.
Yours very sincerely,

Reilly noticed the great injustice
which the city had suffered at the
publication of the Worlds Work ar

for setting the city of Pensacola right

views taken OF the interior and ex-
terror of the present Jail building, and
another picture showing the squad OF

tial view of the building itself. These
were all sent on to the publication,
