THOMPSON-JOHNSON.

ST. Pauls Episcopal church on 4th
South, Salt Lake city, was the scene
of a very quiet wedding Tuesday,
the l4th, when Mary A. Thompson
was united in wedlock to e. A.
Johnson.
The bride is the oldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Thompson on
South University avenue. She is a
favorite in society, and is our es-
teemed County Treasurer, also one
of Blackfoots fairest daughters hav-
ing resided here since childhood.
The groom is one of the most highly
esteemed citizens of Blackfoot, and
needs no introduction to the people
of this city.
The very impressive ring cere-
mony of the Episcopal Church was
performed by the Rev. w. w. Reese.
Ethel Thompson attended the bride
and only a few very immediate
friends were present. After short
stay in Salt Lake the newlyweds
left for Los Angles on their honey
moon and may spend the winter in
that city.
This office joins with host of
friends in extending congratulations
to the happy couple.

PROF. OLIN VISITS
THE HIGH SCHOOL

Prof. Olin of the University of
Idaho was very pleasant visitor at
the high school Wednesday morn
ing. He has charge of the lAgricul-
tural extension work of the Univer-
sity, and was enroute to Aberdeen
to inspect the experimental dry farm
at that place. Prof. Olin begged to
be excused from any speech making
before the school, as he was dressed
in his farming clothes. This was not
sufficient cause for an excuse, and if
Prof. Olin can do better in his dress
suit it would certainly be a treat to
hear him. He gave one of the finest
addresses that the old high school
has ever sheltered.
Prof. Benson took the visitor over
the new high school building, and
we have now man at the Univer-
sity who can and does say that we
have the finest high school building
in the state.

SOON TO OCCUPY
NEW BUILDING

1t is now planned to move the high
school into the new building during
the Thanksgiving vacation. The
time necessary to make this move
will be best suited at the end of this
month. The contractor has the
building in shape to give over for
school purposes the two upper floors
at the end of this week. A few items
of fixtures are not in place, so it was
thought best to make the change
from the old building to the new
during the vacation.

Ardmore Boy Gets Promotion.

Howard Payne, an Ardmore boy, has
gone TO Boswell, where he will be
telegraph operator. Howard is small
boy and is proud of the promotion he
has received, and his energy, good hab-
its and GOOD common-sense will lead
him to success. He learned the tele-
gravh business here with the Postal.
Howard earned the first dollar he ever
owned by working with the Ardmore-
ite as a carrier boy and the Ardmore
ite boys always succeed. Boys who
have carried papers for us are nov
in banks, in county offices, holding
county offices by election and some
are managers for big concerns. Il
means something for a boy to begin
his career with newspaper. l.
teaches him life and what is means
more than nearly any other work. We
expect to hear of the success of How
ard Payne.

morrow Is the first Saturday holiday OF
the season and Tuesday is the Fourth OF
