of the marriage at the St. Johns
Episcopal Church at st. Paul at
2:3O that afternoon of Harry E..
Melvin and Miss Margaret Clark,
d .ughter of Mrs. C. B. Clark of
this city. 1t came as a great
surprise to the many friends of
both the bride and groom, who
hardly knew that they had even
been keeping company. The fact
that the wedding took place at
this time was also a surprise to
Mrs. Clark, the mother of the
bride, who had not supposed it
would occur for few weeks yet,
although she had been advised of
the engagement, and had given
her consent thereto. Her first
announcement that the wedding
had taken place came in a long
di.ta c. telephone call at 3.4O in
the afternoon from Mr.. Melvin.
The bride is the daughter of
Mrs. C. B. Clark and a niece of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Patton of
this city. She has made her
home here for several years, al
though spending part of her time
each year in the south. She is
considered one of the most
charming ladies in the younger
society circles of the city. Mr..
Melvin is the son of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Sam Melvin, pioneer.

the meeting President Kinds
said "Our business men are just
beginning to realize that what
Life Insurance Companies have
done for the East they will do
for the South; and that the time
has come when the Insurance

Practical Education.

The following from the distin-
guished junior senator from
Mississippi, is so full of sound
sense that we reproduce it with
the hope that it may reach the
minds and hearts of both the
teachers and pupils in every
schoolin our-county. This is a
practical age, and our education
should be directed along more
practical and business like chan
nels. MI. Williams truly says:
II want to say, Mr.. President,
that | am one of the men in the
United States who have suffered
from an old-fashioned education.
| do not know as much about
modern applied science as a a.
year-old boy ought to know. l
think a teacher of drawing is
more useful in a school than a
teacher of Latin. | think to train
the hand and to train the eye as
auxiIiaries of the mind is of vast
Importance. a thing by the lack
of which l., by the way, with
many other men. suffer.
Il want the senate to listen to
the class of teachers they are.
Manuel training teachers-they
teach the boy to make a living
by his hands and eyes after he
leaves school: drawing teachers,
music which appeals to the ear
and the soul; teachers of physi-
cal culture that which keeps the
boy in perfect health.
Mr.. President, / make the as
sertion without any fear of intel
ligent contradiction, that it is
very much easier to get an effic-
lent teacher of Latin in a public
school or of history or of English
literature of French or German
than it is to get an efficient
teacher of free hand, drawing or
mechanical.
Il make the further assertion
that there is not a single pursuit
in life, whether that be of the
lawyer or the mechanical engin-
eee-it makes no difference what
to the successful carrying out
Of which a knowledge of free
hand and mechanical drawing is
not a very great aid. Even a
lawyer finds it useful in a jury
trial. | know that men around
here have suffered just as | have
from a lack of training of the
eyes and hand-training of the
head overmuch, and leaving the
eye and the hand unframed.

Card From DR.. Broyles.

Dear Sir: | am enclosing
check for my announcement for
Congress in your paper. | am a
stranger to most of the voters in
your county, therefore | would
like to express a wish to them
through your paper, that they
give me a fair show in this cam
paign by a suspension of judg-
ment until they have heard what
| have to say to them.
l expect to make a clean, square
race, on my own merit and as
strong as l know how to make
it. The time is short from now
until the primary and it will be
hard to see all the voters. there
fore l hope that every voter that
can, will come out to at least one
appointment in the county, and
if they will Mr.. Gambler and N.Y.
self will try to see that they are
not disappointed in their expec-
tations.
Very truly,
R. F. BRoYLEs.

INNokO TAKES ON
 NEW LEASE OF LIFE

IditarOd, March 6.--With a plentiful supply of orc on hand, the first stamp mill in the old InnokO camp started to crush on March |. The mill worked smoothly, and the results are highly satisfactory, according to reports brought here. Ten tons daily is the capacity of the mill, and it is believed that it will be kept supplied for a continuous run of an indefinite period. The outlook for the camp as a gold producer from hard rock is said to be exceedingly bright.

POOR OLD ALASKA.

Poor old Alaska has surely had quite enough of the leasing sys- tenn. It was leased by Russia from t799 until 1867 to the Russian American company. That com pany was the absolute lord and master, and it's leasehold sov- ereignty absolutely prevented de- VelOpment. Fortunately nobody was lured there under false pre- lenses.
 Fortunately for the United States, Alaska was not colonized or settled by the Russians. Their leasing system prevented if. 9th "rwiSe the Russian people would have so well developed Alaska by 1867 that the United States could not have bought it for two cents an acre, with it's wonderful fish cries and a seal herd of 6,OOO,- 900 thrown into the bargain.
 The first thing We did, however, was to lease that seal herd 10 a company that in i0 years made d net profit of over S5,73S, ,OOO and dcpletcdS the seal herd to about 75,000.
 In tn" meantime lhr Unified SlalcS government spent more money in patr0lling ihr seal is lands ihau it obtained from roy alticS on inc lease, and Alaska got absolutely nothing. not a school huu>r--uut as much as d flag pole.

The reported rich placer strike in Bolivia was investigated some time ago by Mr. o.
