On Monday evening in Winches-

city, and Mr.. Phelps Renick, of
Winchester, were united in mar
riage in the presence of a few
relatives and friends. The we'd
ding, although expected for some
time, coming at the time it did,
was somewhat of a surprise to the
many friends of this popular
couple. Immediately after the
ceremony they left on the G. 6
o. for New York where they will
spend short honeymoon, and re-
turning will be at home at the
beautiful residence of the groom
near Winchester.
MISS DUTY is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce Duty, of
this city, and is a beautiful and
attractive girl, possessing a lovely
disposition which has endeared to
her countless friends, who join us
in wishing her many. many years
of happiness and prosperity.
Mr.. Renick is son of Mr..
Scott Renick. prominent farmer
of near Winchester. He is a
worthy gentleman, of excellent
morals, and stands high in the es-
timation of all his acquaintances.
He has often been a visitor to this
city where he is we'll known and
has numerous friends.

eff you toot your little tooter and then lay

There's not soul in ten short days will know
that you were born.
The man who gathers pumpkins is the man who
plows all day.
And the man who keeps a-humping is the man
who makes it pay.
The man who advertises with short and sudden
jerks,
Is the man who blames the editor because it
never works.
The man who gets the business has strong and
steady pull
He keeps his trade and paper from year to year
quite full.
He plans his advertisement in thoughtful
honest way,
And keeps forever at it until he makes it pay"
