The principals to this suspicious nup-

known in this vicinity. Miss Hubbard
is product OF that virile energy whose
achievements have subdued and con-
quered the great west and whose ulti-
mate destiny is a strong and vigorous
civic life as represented in our modern
civilization, in our chOols and colleges,
our universities and our advanced COM
mercialism. To a marked degree she
has participated in the Development of
these things as may be noted by ner
very successful career as teacher
where her natural and constructive gen
ms manifested itself in numerous ways
and on many occasions. Tact and COM
mon sense, originality and intellectual
ity formed combination that made her
career possible. Her qualities of mind
and he"~. lave won her the love and
...gard of all our people and of friends
in other places where her professional
services were utilized.
For the last number of years PROBES
sor Dills has occupied the position of
superintendent of public schools in this
place. Previous to that time he held
a similar position at New Ulm. By
the display of marked ability in the
organization of the schools and in the
creation OF a system of instruction that
is superior in its conceptions and its
operations he has brought our schools
to high degree Of efficiency. In fact
there are no other schools more sue
cessful or marked with higher stand
ard. He has been employed for another
year and it is doing no violence to the
facts to assert that the standard will
be maintained and that his tenure here
rests entirely upon his own vOlition
and judgment With his energy and
tact he is bound to succeed-in fact
success has already attended his eff
forts. AS an educator he will distin-
guish himself in the future as he has
in the past.
Immediately after the ceremony the
happy couple left for wedding trir

where they will spend their honey.
moon. They will be guests at cot
tage on a beautiful summer resort lake
at Kimball.
