II Clyde Milan's poor luck at the bat
continues he is going to have a hard time
of 1t breaking into the select class Of hit
tiers. Milan Is hitting the ball as hard as
he ever did. but he is not having any luck
in placing 1t, and his hit column Is not
showing what 1t should. But he is not
discouraged in the least and contends
that after a while he will be getting the
breaks and that he will then make up for
lost time. In every other respect Milan
Is playing brilliant ball.

Grover Quiet Married.

Mr.. Grover Quiet, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. C. Quiet, of this city, was
married to Miss Gertrude May Ar
mitage, popular young lady of
Carthage, Mo-, at the home of her
parents in that city on Wednesday
of last week. Grover is an old
Leon boy, who now holds a respon-
sible position with the National Bank
of Commerce in Kansas City, and his
many friends of this city extend con-
gratulations. The following account
of the wedding is taken from the
|, Carthage Daily Democrat of
last Thursday:
In beautiful home wedding at
$3.50 O'Clock last night, Miss Cert
rude May Armitage became the
bride of Mr.. Grover Quiet, of Kan
sas City, at the residence of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. James G. Armi-
tage, No. 1929 James street. The
ceremony was performed by the
Rev. D. w. Moore, pastor of the
First Christian church in the pres
ence of eighty guests.
Just before the appointed hour of
the wedding, Miss Georgia Mack of
Springfield, sang "Promise,' accom-
panied on the piano by Edgar Vance.
Mr.. Vance then began playing the
Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin and
the first of the bridal party ap-
peared.
Miss Leta Durby of Carthage and
Miss Nell McCarty of Kansas City,
bridesmaids, marched through the
library into the parlor of the home
and took positions at the left. They
were followed by the groom and his
best man, Harry Martin, of Kansas
City. Miss Juanita Armitage, Sis
ter of the bride and maid of honor,
appeared next.
The bride entered the room unat-
tended and joined Mr.. Quiet under
a dome of sweet peas and smilax in
a corner of the parlor, where the
wedding ceremony was pronounced
by the Rev. Mr.. Moore.
After the ceremony, the bridal
party formed receiving line and |
assisted the bride and groom in re-
ceiving congratulations. Then a |
wedding supper was served in the
dining room.
The bride wore a gown of French |
white satin, trimmed in lace with
pearl ornaments. She carried a
shower boquet of brides roses and
lilies-of-the-valley. The maid of
honor wore an embroidered Batiste
gown over pink satin and carried
boquet of sweet peas. The brides
maids wore pink chiffon over satin
and carried chains of smilax.
Sweet peas formed simple, but
effective decoration in the various
rooms of the Armitage home.
The bride is a popular society |
girl who has always made Carthage
her home She is prominent in
church circles and has been an &C
tive worker in the First Christian
church. The groom is we'll known

There was a lively little scrap
down near the depot last Wednesday
afternoon, the participants being
Gene and Pearl Kentner on one side
and Joy Dodge and Jack Adair on
the other, in which rocks and fists
played a prominent part, with hon
ors divided among the combatants.
The result was that Gene and Pearl
Kentner and Jay Dodge were arraign-
ed before Mayor Foxworthy on the
charge of disturbing the peace, and
each were fined $685.. P. B. Walk
er, for whom the Kentner boys work,
was also brought into court on the
charge of interfering with. an officer
in the discharge of his duty, as he
had some difficulty with Marshal
Ironside when he went down to ar
rest the Kentner boys, and he was
fined the same amount as the others.
Jack Adair made his getaway and
left town, SO he has not yet been ar
rested.

The first good wheat crop story
was handed to us last Friday, and
it is true one. Ed Kirk, who lives
about a mile and a half north of
town thrashed a 14-acre field Of
wheat which yielded 500 and half
bushels, which nearly makes a yield
of SO bushels to the acre. The wheat
weighed out at 60 pounds to the
bushel, making by weight yield
to the acre of 40 and one-third
bushels. At the price of wheat this
is equivalent to s34.30 per acre. If
you have a better one than this
we would like to have it.-Davis City

There are on display in The Re-
porter window couple of samples
of mighty fine oats, both of which
measure more than five feet in
length, and are from the farms of
E. H. Sharp, just west of Leon and
Simon Goodman, who lives five miles
northeast of Leon. They have at
tracted considerable attention. The
small grain crop in Decatur county
was never before equal to what it
is this year, and the best part of it
is that reports from farmers who
have had their wheat and oats thresh-
ed is that they are running from a
half to two-thirds more than they
estimated them, and the quality is
of the very best. There never was
such an acreage Of wheat in the
county, and it is estimated that the
wheat crop alone will bring the farm
ers of Decatur county more than two
millions of dollars this year.

Charleston, W. Va. September 2g- Scores Of soldiers with boodhounds are searching the mountains at the head of Carbon creek today for the men who last midnight tried to fire the tipple of the South Carbon Coal company and the res idence of Charles Easley, mine superin- tendent. Creeping to the tipple the men saturated the structure with oil. They were ready to apply the match when dis covered by a sentry. The soldier fired his piece. The men ran along the right of way for a short distance and dis appeared in the woods. A few minutes later man was seen trying to fire the Cable residence This was not far away. He also was fired upon and escaped. There are sevoral hundred soldiers scat tered through the woods within one mile $ radius of the place. These were quickly on the qui vive. Bloodhounds were brought in from Pratt, the military head quarters, and early at dawn they struck two scents. These are being followed.
