get Riley Thomas, who is under in
dictment in the Pike county court for
the murder of a man named Kitchens,
near Lone Star, in the north part OF

catch-all for those forced out OF other
communities, located all around,

long distances on the rivers and rail
roads centering here Cairo is looked
upon as n city or refuge and support
for those made outcasts or public bur
dens at their homes, whether made
so by vicious or criminal conduct of
their own or by unfortunate circum-
stances.
Criminals from far south, the most
of them negroes, seek to hide II

EX-convicts come here In numbers.

shame by leaving the fruit of il for

heartlessly desire to be rid of. Sick

disease, like small pox, not infrequent

AUDUBON CHAPTER BANoUETs.
And Entertains The Husbands And
Other Gentlemen Friends.

Two years ago the members of the
Audubon Chapter of the P. E. o. Sister
hood instituted the plan of sometimes
entertaining the brothers-in-law. who
are the husbands of the members, and
such other gentlemen friends as may be
necessary to even up the number be-
tween the sexes. Last year the gentle
men returned the compliment and last
week the ladies put them under renewed
obligations for 1912. The banquet was
given at the home of Mr.. A. s. Culver,
whose large house and commodious
rooms are especially suited for enter
tanning large company. The fifty
guests were seated at three tables in the
parlor and sitting room. At the middle
of each table there was large bouquet
of white and pink carnations. 1t was a
Joyous company that gathered round
the festive board and showed by their
acts proper appreciation of the work
of the committee on supplies. Follow
ing the supper social hour was spent
in series of amusements that didn't
tax the mind or strength and furnished
much opportunity to indulge in laughter
which is said to be good help to easy
digestion. Next year the gentlemen
will be in much of quandary as how
to best go the ladies one better in
their annual entertainment. But it
will be something worth while.

Judge Horace Il. Deemer is one of
the strong men in Iowa; indeed, he is
one of the strong men in the country.
lie is man of clean life and is actively
interested in the building up Of good
things in the state. If he shall be
chosen senator, the selection will prove
q happy solution OK the problem with
which the legislature has been wrest-
ling since it convened early in jan
uary. Due largely to his position, Mr..
Deemer has not been active either in
fractional or political contests. Under
the circumstances, and as Daniel Web
ster might define the situation, he is q
candidate of great availability. 1t is
very likely that Deemer will, if chosen,
be alys to secure the primary nominal
tom of the republican party in 1912
without serious opposition. --Nonpariel

AT the beautiful home OF Mr.. and Mrs,

nesday afternoon, February 90, 1911, in
the presence of about seventy. Ave invit-
ed guests, Mr.. Fred Ray Emerson of
Atlantic, Iowa, and Miss Cora May
Sampson were joined in marriage.
Promptly at 2:30, the appointed hour,
Mr.. Frank Sampson, brother of the
bride, sang solo entitled my Rosary"
Following this the sweet strains of
Mendelsohn's Wedding March, played
by Mrs. Henry Z. Sampson of Des
Moines, announced the coming of the
bridal party which consisted of Rev. j.
ii. Freedline. the officiating minister,
followed by Mr.. Frank Sampson the
best man and Miss Daisy Frick as
bridesmaid, and the happy young couple
who marched into the spacious parlor
where they stood under an arch of white
carnations, smilax and potted plants.
Overhead hung a green and white we'd
ding bell typical of the young lives that
were made one, and may that love which
burned bright in the hearts of all pres
ent remain fresh and green in their
memory. The soft mellow light coming
from cleaning tapers fell upon the bridal
party while the ring ceremony was pro-
nounced. During this time the sweet
strains of the Woodland Echoes" came
softly from the piano played by Mrs.
II. f. Sampson, sister-in-law of the
bride. While hearty congratulations
were being extended to Mr.. and Mrs
Emerson, Mrs. Geo. H. Buck played
Melody of Love" and Luella Sampson
sang II Love You Truly"
Then came bounteous wedding din
ner which was greatly enjoyed by the
company The bridal table which was
laid for fourteen was profusely decorated
with white carnations and a canopy de-
sign of white and green where tapers
and colors shed forth their mellow light.
After dinner, following the usual custom
the bride threw roses at all the young
people present.
The bride was gowned in a cream al
batross trimmed with satin, lace and
and braid and the groom wore the con.
ventional black. The bride who is the
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. C. H.
Sampson grew to young womanhood in
this county and is highly respected. The
groom who il son of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Fred Emerson of Elkhart, Indiana, is
an energetic and industrious young man
of sterling character. Many friends
join in extending to the happy young
couple their wishes for all the good
things of life. They left on the evening
train for wedding trip to the West.
After April first they will be at home
to their friends on the Sampson ranch
nine miles northeast of Audubon. Their
home will contain many useful and
beautiful presents received on their
wedding day.
The out of town guests were J. f.
Emerson, father of the groom, and Mr..
and Mrs. Henry f. Sampson, brother
and sister-in-law, of the bride, of Des
