The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1912-10-31
McKibben-Pahlman

evening of this week. The talented
and gracious daughter of the home,
Miss Mayme~ McKibben, became the
bride of Mr.. George H. Pahlman, all
his life resident of the community
where his charming young wife has
spent her years of childhood and
young womanhood, and now connec-
ted with the bank at Amoret where,
beyond doubt, his industry and worth
will win for him high rank as bust
ness man.
Young Mrs. McKibben, for a few
recent years, has been one of Bates
county's successful teachers. Inn
mediate relatives gathered in the
drawing room and at $50 o'clock the
brides sister, Mrs. o. w. Walker,
sang very feelingly, 'Love's Old
Sweet Song" and as the cadence
drifted to its reminiscent ending, the
young people entered to the strains
OF the wedding march, and with them
MIR. James T. Pahlman, brother of
the groom, and Miss Mary Allen, a
girlhood chum of the bride.
A solemn and beautiful wedding
service was spoken by Rev. Claude
S. Handy, of Butler, who called upon
Rev. j. j. Wolf, an uncle of the
bride, for the prayer of benediction.
The bride and bridesmaid were
gowned becomingly and carried
roses. The groom and his brother
were attired in the conventional
black and all the young people con-
Quoted themselves with studied ease
and natural grace.
Congratulations having been ex-
tended, the guests were called to the
dining room where we'll appointed
wedding dinner was happily presided
over by the mother of the bride, as
sisted by Mrs. w. A. Simpson, an
aunt. Mr.. and Mrs. Pahlman motored
to Butler early in the evening and
departed on the south bound for a
brief tour. They will be at home to
their friends after November the first
in Amoret Mo.
The gifts were numerous, tasteful,
valuable and useful.
Constable j. W. Baker arrived
here Saturday night from Rich Hill
with two prisoners, Gus Elkhorn and
j. c. Griffin, who are charged with
grand larceny. The two men were
lodged in Jail here.
Democrats, do not under any cir
cumstances trade a single candidate
on your ticket The only hope of
to elect Mckinley is to
get Democratic votes for him and
the word has been sent out from
headquarters to trade every thing for
the Governor.
The Republicanpa party, through Gov
ernor Hadley's veto of the bill appro-
priating $40, 600 for the State Board
Of immigration, suspended all the ac-
ivities of the State in the matter of
Advertising the State sresources. And
he Republican ticket is committed to
he Hadley policies.
Let every Democrat in Bates coun-
~ vote his ticket straight. L. 1t is some
times great advantage to the mi
nority party to trade in the hopes of
electing one or more candidates,
out there is never any excuse for a
Of the majority party to
rade.
Rev. Jacob Meeker, who is making
speeches under the authority of the
State Committee, is also
single Taxer. Pick up any letter
rom the Equitable Taxation League,
ook on the reverse side thereof
where the names of the Advisory
are printed, and you will
behold the name of this Reverend
Jacob Meeker. And yet the Repub-
leans claim they are not responsible
or the Single Tax! But they are.
There should be no such tampering
With the tax laws as will jeopardize
he prosperity of the Missouri farmer,
nd it is therefore most important that
Democratic Legislature be sent to
efferson City next winter. The
democratic party is committed to the
olicy of low taxes and the Republic
an party is committed to the policy
high taxes. Vote for the Demo-
ratio nominees for Representative
