Beautiful Home Wedding

At the beautiful country home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe Burk on
Wednesday evening, February Is, al
7o'clock. The beautiful and impress
sive ceremony which made their
daughter, Miss Edna, and Mr. Edwin
Allison one was performed by Rev.
Prewitt of Butler.
To the strains Of the wedding march
played by Mrs. Ray Burk, sister OF
the groom, they marched down the
stairway to the parlor, taking their
place beneath an arch of evergreens.
The happy couple made a beautiful
picture long to be remembered by
those present.
The bride, beautiful and accom-
plished young lady, was handsomely
gowned in white messaline silk and
chiffon, embroidered with beads and
brilliants, while the groom looked
handsome in the customary black
suit Parlor decorations We're green
and white. The dining room was
decorated in pink and white by Mr..
Perry Burk, who is proficient in the
profession of decorator. The dinner,
prepared by Mrs. Burk and daugh-
tiers, was certainly grand and all
present did full justice to the good
things before them.

A WILSON YEAR.

Wednesday March 4th marked the
first anniversary Of the Inauguration
into the presidency Of Woodrow Will.
son, and probably the career of nc
chief executive of the United States
has or will ever show year so re-
: plete with progressive achievement.
The Underwood tariff bill, repre-
senting the contamination of years
of tariff campaign has been passed
and put into operation.
The Federal Reserve Act, acclaim
ed by the financial world as satisfy
ing the demand of half a century for
a panic proof financial system is now
a fact.
The income tax, the only sane and
equitable method of government tax
alton, is in operation, and now the
wealthy class are beginning to bear
the burden of government mainte-
nance which was so unjustly foisted
upon the shoulders of the consumers
by the tariff laws.
The constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the election of United
States Senator's by direct vote and
the attack and exposure and discred-
iting of lobbying are long steps for
ward for the insurance of untram-
meled and uninfluenced legislation.
The substitution of a policy found
ed upon moral right, supersedes the
dollar Diplomacy" basis which has
for so long been manifested in our
dealings with China and the Latin
American Republics, and while the
work of the president in the interna-
tional field has only begun, his atti-
tude upon the seven treaties signed
so far; his diplomatic handling of the
Japanese situation in California, and
the masterful manner in which he in
sists upon the ''watchful, waiting"
policy being carried out with regard
to Mexico stamp him the most re-
markable man of the age.

City Council Calls Mass Meeting to
Consider Waterworks Proposition.
The last Of a $25, 900 bond issue
against the city went up in smoke
Tuesday night at the meeting Of the
city council when H. M. Cannon,
Superintendent of the Municipal Light
Plant, applied the match to $1,000
worth of bonds. $500 in bonds
were voted in 1901 for the purpose of
building the Municipal Light Plant,
which through the untiring efforts OF
Superintendent Cannon backed with
the hearty cooperation Of the council,
has finally been retired. While strict
economy has been practiced in the
handling of the plant, the manage
ment has not been niggardly and the
city and the consumers have been
furnished with ample light and power
at reasonable cost.
The election OF Jay Gordinier as
chief OF the fire department was
unanimously approved.
The council agreed that a mass
meeting Of citizens be called OF the
court house Tuesday, March 10th, for
the purpose Of discussing finally the
waterworks proposition.
Alderman A. w. Wemott announc-
ed it his intention to tender his resig-
nation at the next regular meeting.
Council adjourned to meet Thurs

Butler Public Schools.

For many years the enumeration has
been decreasing. Ten years ago we
had one thousand children of school age
in our city. Last year the enumera-
ton was only six hundred and seventy
nine. In spite of this condition the en-
rollment is as large as in the past. We
have enrolled 200 pupils in the High
School, which is the largest enrolment
in the history of the school. This is a
gain of twelve over last year. We have
seventy-five non-residents in the High
School,; and, If it had not been for the
crop failure in this county, we would
doubtless have had one hundred. The
enrolment in the grades is practically
the same as that of last year.
The attendance has been excellent.
At the end of February one year ago
the per cent of attendance was "a, and
at the end of February this year the
per cent of attendance was 81. During
these first six months we have gained
1920 in days attendance. l am pleased
to report that this attendance has been
voluntary. have seldom had to use
the truant officer.
Although the attendance has been
good, there will be many failures. We
have an enthusiastic and efficient body
of teachers. They are willing to work
over time and often do so to bring up
those who are falling behind. They
cannot. however, bring up all to the
required standard. Parents, what are
you doing to help? If your child is in
any grade above No. 4 assure you that
he has work to do at home. If the
child persists in his statement that his
work is up, see the teacher. Is your
child on the streets too much? Does
your child go up town after supper? If
he does, do you know where he goes?
Does he smoke cigarettes? Does your
child 60 to parties or the picture show
on school nights? If your child is idling
away the time that should be spent in
study and you permit this, please do
not at the end Of the year blame the
teacher. We are willing to bear our
part, but you cannot justly throw all
the responsibility on US.
In the Teacher Training Course we
have enrolled six Seniors and ten Jun
iors. This is proving to be : popular
course and those enrolled are Anfhnai.
