GOSSIP OF SOCIETY
KilgOre-TaylOr

MISS Laura hllgore or Chapman
! and Mr.. Hugh S. Taylor of Pear
were quietly married at the Luth
eran parsonage at o'clock Wednes
day evening by the Rev. w. II
Schrock. The ring ceremony was
used. Miss Jessie Kilgore, sister
of the bride, Miss Roxie Bigler and
Faye Walker, all OF Chapman, were
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor have
gone to their home in Pearl. Both
are well known young Dickinson
people.
Wednesday morning at the library
the old-time and all-tlme favorite
light opera, Pinafore, was given In
story form by Mrs. ]. E. Johntz.
While this opera is often played for
and by children, and the music is
we'll adapted to them, 1t is not a
story easy to make interesting to
children; yet Mrs. Johntz accom-
plished this so successfully that
there was a marked contrast in the
way in which her audience listened
to Gems from Pinafore" played on
the Victrola both before and after
thes story. The first listening was
like that of music lover to a song
in a foreign tongue; the second
was a glad listening for known
phrases pleasingly accompanied.
Mrs. Johntz's acquaintance with chill
dren and knowledge of art of story
telling enabled her to at once bring
the children in close touch, and to
present to them only points of sal
lent interest. After stating the set
ting of the opera on the deck of
ship, and outlining the main char
acters, she lent a personal interest
to the story by stating that when
a child she once played the part of

catchy phrases, she gave the atmos-
phere of the opera and fixed 1t in

that she had exchanged the captain
and the poor sailor lover when ba-

noument of the opera brought re-
Iieved expressions. Following the
opera story several selections on the

Charlie Wierman drove through
Abilene In his Overland car on this
way to Talmage from odell. Neb
He stopped at the Dyer garage. The
roads were good most of the way
down, Mr., Wierman said.

Mrs. Hapstonstall, Mrs. Shafer and
daughters stopped at the Dyer gar
age, They are returning to their
home in Manhattan from a visiting
trip through Kansas in their Ram
bier car.
There is now every reason to ex-
pect that Dickinson will have good
roads in the real sense of the word
In the first place, the money under
the present system is in a general
fund, with the county engineer to
supervise the work and to keep in
touch with conditions and know
when and where the roads should be
worked. The township boards will
be in charge of the work, and the
county engineer directs 1t. Estimat-
ing that there are 1000 motor cars
in the county and there are at
least that many this year, and TAX
ing the county's share of each So
license fee, which is $4.25, this one
source brings in $4250 for upkeep
of roads. Then there are at least 1870
motorcycles in the county-there
were 11S last year-and taking the
county's share of the 50 license each
motorcyclist must pay, which is
$3.50, the road income from this
source is $195. This year, the county
commissioners, in accordance with a
state law, made separate levy for
maintaining county roads. This levy,
four-tenths of mill, will net $17,-
721. Adding the three sources of
income, the county will have APP
proximately $22,971 with which to
maintain Dickinson roads. This Is
none too much, but it can be we'll
expended to put the highways in
shape and keep them as nearly that
way as possible and make it easy
and safe and pleasant for people out
in the country to go to the various
towns and for the people in the
towns to go out to the country. Az
ter all, Dickinson is only one of a
great number Of communities that
is boosting for good roads. In 1913
the total approximate expenditure
for roads in this country was 205
millions of dollars.
The Woodbine Automobile club is
planning a sociability run for Aug
ust 81. A speaker will be taken
