On Wednesday, at high noon, Mr..
Charles w. Brockman of Ferdinand,
and Miss Gertrude Bourland, one of
Grangevilles most popular young
ladies, were united in marriage at the
home of the brides parents, Rev.
Morgan officiated, using the impressive
ring ceremony. Only the immediate
relatives of the bride were present.
After the ceremony, the happy young
people departed for their home near

The ladies Of the Catholic church
will serve a dinner and supper on
election day at Revere hotel.
Mrs. Alice Lowe, lady of fifty
five years of age and one of the pio-
neers Of the Winona section, passed
away last Saturday after lingering
illness Of several months. The funer-
al was held Monday at ten o'clock.
Under the administration of the
republicans $436,91S.36 has been
spent in Idaho county during the
past two years and six months. If
this is the economy practised by the
republicans it is doubtful if the tax
payers will vote for continuance on
next Tuesday.
While there has been a shortage
of the potato crop on Camas Prairie
specimen brought to this office this
week raised by Mrs. Ruby, is evidence
that the variety at least is far above
the average. The potato is what is
known as the "Blue Victor" and
weighed two pounds and an ounce.
Frank VanDeventer is the gentle
man who for seven weeks was en-
ployed by Rice to teach him book
keeping so that he could handle the
affairs of,the treasurers office. The
books are Of the simplest kind and
while Mr.. Rice was not at all familiar
with them at the time he went into
Office, he has found necessary but a
few times to call upon Deputy Rambo
of the auditors Office to straighten
out the tangles. George Adams also
assisted Mr.. Rice at other times
+. 5. Barton, who represents the
Idaho Harvester Co., of Moscow, is ii,
the city this week in the interests 81
his company. This is the Idaho COM
pany that has had such marvellous
success with the Idaho combine, a
reasonable priced machine that does
the work. George Fem had one OF
these machines in his harvest field
this year and is highly pleased with it.
VIM. Meyer and Herman Won Bargen
have purchased machines for delivery
the coming summer and Monday p
l.. Sherwin contracted for one Of them.
The candidacy Of Mr.. Wilson for
the office of county treasurer was
brought about not alone by democrats
but through the insistance of many
republicans who have become dissatis-
fled with the manner in which Rice
has administered over number of
estates in this county. Mr. Rice
should not become so worked up and
indulge in the careless and villainous
remarks which it is said he is max ling
in his speeches over the county. If
he expects people to take him seriously
and have faith in him. it stands him
in hand to be fair.
