destroyed the home of the bride. The

m. Both bride and bridegroom were
dressing for the ceremony when the
storm struck the town. The house was
almost a total wreck, the brides trous,
seau was scattered over a city block,
and all thoughts of a wedding We're lost
in the excitement. The bridegroom
lost his entire wardrobe. as well as a
roll of $50 in bills, not II of which
has been recovered. The wedding
presents were also lost.
In another column this week the
Register prints a communication from
the citizens of Aurora, who are not al
together pleased with the write-up
given their gala day by the Brookings
papers. In giving space to the com
munication the Register does 50 from
a spirit of fairness, as we believe that
the people of Aurora should have an
opportunity to present their side of
the case. Some of the charges they
make are no doubt true, as Brook
ings' skirts are not altogether clean,
although the cases mentioned are
isolated ones extending over several
years and by no means of frequent oc-
curance as the stranger might imagine
from reading the article. AS far as
Aurora is concerned the Register
knows that it is as l%aw-abiding as any
community anywhere, but the good
name of the town has suffered to some
extent from the undesirable element
from nearby towns who have gathered
there.
