Mr., and Mrs. George Parkin
took their departure yesterday
morning for New York City, where
on July 18th they will board the
Cnnard liner. Montana, bound for
Liverpool. They expect to cross
the Atlantic on this magnificent
boat in FIVE DAYS. They will make
a several months visit at their old
home at Stanhope, in the County
Durham, England. 1t las been 81
years since they left, and the report
of their impressions as they view
the old home after such a long ab-
sence will be interesting. Mr.. and
Mrs. Parkin will, however, return
to America in September, in time
for Mr.. Parkin to look after his
ranch interests. Twenty-eight years
ago this worthy couple settled on
the then sage plains of Ada county
and have since resided on home
stead up to three years ago when
they moved to Meridian.
Mr.. Elmer Sims and Mrs. Grace
Long were married last Thursday
evening at the home of the brides
father, Mr.. James DAILY, in Mari-
dian. Several friends we're present
to witness the ceremony, which
was performed by Rev. J. H.
McSparran. Both the bride and
groom are we'll known and popular
in this vicinity, and they have the
best wishes OF everybody for
long and happy welded life. Mr..

for Salt Lake City, and enjoyed Il
brief wedding trip. and Wednes-
day returned to Meridian, where

There is nothing new to report
of the water works we'll. The drill
is down 236 feet, and there is no
more evidence of a good vein of
water than when the 20O-foot depth |
was reached. The 6-inch pipe is
down 80 far that it is driven with
difficulty, as there is danger of
breakage. The 8-inch pipe was
apandoned several days ago, when ,
it was down 200 feet, from the
same cause, and it is feared that |
if the vein is not struck pretty soon |
the 6-inch pipe will be bruised in
the same manner as the first lot |
W. N. A. Hayden was seriously |
injured Tuesday by being kicked |
in the breast by a horse. The !
family had been to the farm and
while on the trip the horse had |
acted unruly. When the animal
was being taken from the shafts, |
upon arriving home, a kick was
planted square on Mr.. Hayden's |
chest, knocking the breath from |
him, and it was feared for a while
that he was injured internally, The |
doctor reports that he is getting |
along as we'll as could be expected, |
but will be confined to his home |
for several days.
W. W. Wilson, who recently |
sold his farm southwest of town,

offered. Col. E. Marsters and Son
will bethe auctioueers. Free lunch |

ton country, north of Spokane,

Most of the Meridian people re-
ceived the news of the result of
the Johnson-Jeffries fight at
Boise. Many say it was just as
they expected, and that they knew !
that Jeffries was a back number.
As there is not negro within sew
eral miles of Meridian, it is not ex-
pectsd that the success of johnson
will cause a race riot here In the |
south, however, it is causing /.
trouble.
