JoHNSoN.G GRIFFITH.

In performing the marriage cere-
mony, Wednesday evening, June 10,
which united Arthur Griffith, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Theo. Griffith, and
Miss Elva Johnson, daughter Of Mrs.
] R. Johnson, Rev. Westwood united
not only two popular yung people Of
our community, but two popular fam
lilies This wedding had been ex-
pected for some time, but the prin-
cipals we're enabled to keep the same
very quiet, in a way to fool many Of
their friends. Only a few Of their
many relative and some very inti-
mate friends were present to witness
the ceremony. The bride, who had
been with the Lischesky Dry Goods
Co. for some time, is one Of the pop
ular young ladies Of the town. The
groom has been engaged for some
time in working his fathers farm,
and is equally popular among the
young men. They are highly respect
ed young people, whose joining hands
for better or for worse meets with
the hearty congratulations Of all Ma!
their sun never set, and the dove Of
peace and happiness always be pres
ent.

COUNTY COMMENCEMENT Ex.
ERCISES.

Out of the 66 graduates, 5S were
present at the comm encement exer-
eises last Saturday night. A large
humber of the parents and friends
Of the graduates were present. Quite
a number came so far that it was
necessary to stay all night The pro-
gram was carried out as arranged.
Miss Ruth Smith sang The Rosary" !"
Misses Hooper and Coughlin gave a
violin duet, which was much enjoyed.
Miss Mae Abel, the valedictOrian Of
the class, recited This Life is What
We Make it. The address by Prof.
McKeever, although cut short on ac-
Count of his having to make an early
train, was we'll worth hearing.
The Y. NJ. C. A. and the Y. W. c..
A. of the Great Bend High School,
added much to the enjoyment OF
the graduates by holding an informal
reception in the afternoon at the H.
S. building. The rooms were taste
fully decorated with penants, the
manual training exhibits and the H.
s. Annuals were shown, some of the
manual training pupils exhibited the
work in the class room and the grad
uates were shown over the H. S,
After the exercises at the church
the graduates we're again invited to
the H. s., and some very excellent
speeches were made by the H. S. stu
dents and alumni. Every department
of the work was explained and a
welcome extended to any of the grad
uates who might come to the G, B.
H. S. next fall. Punch and waters
were served at a late hour and the
graduates went home happy. Much
praise is due Prof. Senter and the
H. S. people who are willing to make
Such effort for the honor of their
school and the pleasure of others,

A WORD OF WARNING.
Purchasers Of School Land Must Pay
Interest Promptly

To the Editor: Win you be so good
as to permit space in your columns
for a word of warning to the pur-
chasers of school land, Of the neces-
sity for the prompt payment Of inter
est on their sales to avoid forfeiture
Of their land back to the state.
The law now provides that failure
to pay interest on school land sales
within ten months of the time when
due, works an absolute forfeiture Of
the sale. From information coming
to this department, 1t Is evident that
many holders Of school land certifi-
Gates are either not yet advised Of
this provision Of the statute or are
quite indifferent to the danger they
run in failing to make the payments
as provided by the statute. For the
protection Of these persons, some Of
whom are doubtless subscribers Of
your paper, I make this request for
mention Of the matter IN your col
umns Assuring you that l would per
sonally appreciate your kindness very
much, am very truly yours,
W. 3. DAVIS,
State Auditor.

A SCRAP,

There seems to have been conSid-
cradle of scrap started by some
goodly number of citizens with the
school board over the location of the
new building to be built. As We can
gather the facts, they are about as
follows:
The schools, that is, the ward build
ings, have been cramped for room,
The school board passed a resolution
and asked for bonds, which were vOt-
ed, for additional facilities in this
lire. The bonds were votes, $4,000
for a site, 1880 for a building, AZ
ter this had been done, it was agreed
the agreement being, We are inform
ed, based upon investigation, that it
would be to the advantage Of the pu-
pill to start him into the domestic
science or manual training course
two years earlier than had been
done. Therefore, the board deemed
it best to build the new building in
the central grounds, using it for the
9TH and Sth grades, so that they
might have the advantages of these
two courses. This is, as we under
stand, the case Those who believe
new ward building should be erect
ed oppose this plan.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Much interest has been manifested
this week by the actions Of the Re.
publican National convention in ses-
sion in Chicago. Two hundred and
fifty-four contests we're tried before
the national committee, resulting in
the seating Of 235 Taft delegates
and 10 Roosevelt delegates. All but
92 OF these were seated by a unani-
nous vote Of the committee. The
convention began Tuesday noon, the
first test vote being on temporary
chairman, in which test Senator Root
the Taft candidate, received 55S
votes, and Gov. McGovern of Wiscon-
sin, the Roosevelt candidate, 5O2, he
receiving nearly all Of the Cummins
and La Toilette vote in addition to
the Roosevelt.
The next test vote came Wednes-
day, on the proposition to purge from
the temporary roll Of the convention
the 92 delegates which were seated
BY the National Committee over the
protests Of the Roosevelt members
thereof. This vote resulted in 564
against purging, to so for it. All
but two of the 46 La Toilette Cum
Minis delegates voted with the Roose-
welt clan again. At the time Of 60
ing to press, Thursday afternoon, no
further action had been taken.
Later-The Associated Press re-
ports that Mr.. Roosevelt, while not
withdrawn from the contest, has re-
leased all delegates from any obliga-
tons to him.

ScHWARTZ-EWING.

DR.. H. c. Ewing, physician and sur
geon, proprietor and high "muk-a-
muk" of the Garfield Pharmacy, and
a genial, jovial, all-around good fel-
low, left here last Friday stating that
he was bound for Tulsa, Okla, and
told us his intentions were to get
married while there. We did not
learn the fortunate young lady's
name, nor the exact date Of the we'd
ding, but understand it occurred at
Tulsa last Sunday. At any rate, the
boys" around town sent him pos
tai card shower" mostly decorated
with storks and the like, besides
making up a neat package" which
was sent down by express and con-
tained a number Of useful articles. "
We congratulate the doctor on his
good intentions and sincerely wish
him all happiness and JOY. AS for
the young lady, she has captured"
young man Of sterling worth and
character, and one who holds the
good will Of all who know him.
In view of the fact that the doctor
has not been heard from at this end
Of the line since leaving, we take it
for granted that his fondest hopes
have become a reality and his sweet
heart a bride.-Garfield Booster.
DR.. H. C. Ewing Is a brother Of DR.
c. H. Ewing Of Larned and is well
known here. The wedding took place
at Tulsa, Okla, Sunday, June 2.
Miss Margaret Schwartz is the
brides name and her home Is in Den
yer, Colo, though she has been teach
ing IN Tulsa the past year. The
young people became acquainted
while Doctor Ewing was attending
the university at Boulder, Colo.
On their wedding trip they stopped
for a visit with the grom's sister al
Sedan, Kansas, and are expected
home this week.-Larned Chrono
scope.
The many Great Bend friends ol
DR.. Ewing, better known as Harry
Ewing to our readers, extend CON
gratulations.
