DIAMOND"
WEDDING IS
ANNOUNCED

wedding which VIII stir society
circles of the baseball world was an
nounced today when it became known
that two cousins of the same name
have decided to hook up and try a
little married life.
Mr.. De Funct Smudger of this city
has offered his hand in marriage to
Little Miss Smudger and If no one
interiors at the altar the sacred knot
will be tied in the near future.
True love never runs smooth and
the romance which has led up to the
coming marriage is a tale of woe
Mr.. Smudger got sore at his family
in this city and said that he would
leave never to return and his snappy
little cousin Miss Smudger, said, hit
the grit, I'll take your place and do
mans work while you're gone, good
bye"
Mr.. Smu1ger never even stopped
to say farewell to his spirited little
cousin but as a parting shot said,
An right If you think you can do my
work, you're welcome to try. but
cant wear my trousers because they
belong to me and even If don't want
to wear them I'm not going to have
you wearing them out" But the par
ents of the naughty and angry lover
finally relented and let the Little
Smudger finally have the working
suit.
For while things went along all
right but everybody took advantage
of the weakness of Miss Smudger and
Messrs. Fruita, Palisade and Clifton
all combined to deal a humiliating
blow to the new and ambitious young
lady. whose determination to do a
man work was resented by the
former friends of Mr.. Smudger.
Finally love triumphed and Mr..
Smudger began to write to the fam
lily he had deserted. Mr.. Smudger
had been sorely missed in his absence
and his family had been eating their
heart out too proud to ask him to re-
turn though they felt that there was
a little wrong on both sides but when
the secret could be no longer kept
that Mr.. De Funct Smudger and Miss
Smudger were in love with each other
and were going to get married
Grand tpal Junction and Grand Una
junction and all their descendants in
cluding the family dog opened wide
their arms to welcome Smudger
home

saved any money and Miss Smudger.

pillar of the firm of G. ]. Smudger
Diamond Co. had somewhat lost the
prestige won by the former manage
ment and the finances of the firrl are
consequently in a bad way so Mr..
Smudger and his bride have agreed
that they will pull together and ex-
ert every effort to building up the
business. Mr.. Smudger as befits his
dignity will assume the managership
but Miss Smudger will also retain her
interest in the firm which will retain
the old name after the coming mar
riage.
Many of the old clerks of both the
former and late management will be
retained. Moorehead will be made
general manager and will have charge

sitions will be divided among the

given to all of the neighboring fam

at the old stand and ready to resume
their old standing in society
The writer is convinced that there
are many diamonds in the rough
working for the firm and with proper
polish can be developed into valuable
gems which will add great value to
the stock of the reorganized Diamond
company.
