WILL BRING BRIDE
HOME FROM EAST

When Alexander r. Custead
gets home from the east he will
find out that he il married and
that we know it. His marriage
to Miss Nellie M. Hall of Water
bury, Conn. on the 22nd day OF
December, 1918, is attested by a
copy of the marriage Ii. ense on
file in the Office Of J G.. Watson,
clerk of the vill,ige of Parma.
The officiating minister was
Horace B. Sloat, A B., BID. We
think it rather mean, however,
for the registrar to cali Mr..
Cnstead widower and Miss
Hall widow. when the GER
tificate states plainly that this
is the first matrimonial venture
of each. The many friends oi
Mr.. Custead will assure the
happy couple a warm welcome
when he brings his bride to her
western home.

granary on the ranch where
Wiley Paine is now living, but
which was unoccupied when the

known this is the Parson boys
first offense, but lately the other

which seem to indicate that he is
anxious to break into the peni.

that this S475, 900 has all been
distributed. We wouldn't have
known this if we hadn't seen ii
in the Statesman. as our share
in the distribution still leaves us
about $500 on the wrong side oi
the ledger.
And we are paying only $751;.
900 for running governmental
affairs this year. That is only
about $26 for every inhabitant,
including the unborn babe.
This, of course, does not include
the $4,000 or more necessary
for running the two biggest and
most expensive Offices in the
