ing one of our Extra boys which ap-
peared in the last issue of the Win
field Beacon:
1--WE all knew that this fine young |
couple were to pull off the stunt af-
terwhile, but never dreamed of them |
being married now.
Mr. Clyde j. Dimick
Miss Pearl Sewell
Married
April Seventeenth
Nineteen hundred and fifteen
Newton, Iowa
The above is the way the anonunce-
ment cards read which were sent out
this morning, and to say everybody
was surprised is putting it mild.
We had little interview with the
groom, in his haste, and pumped the
following story from him. Last April
seventeenth the couple strated for
Extra apparently to visit Mr.. Dim
icks parents at Extra, and on the
way a lay over of two hours was nee
essary at Newton, to make train con-
nections. AS the bunch" around
town here had threatened them with
execution" upon their wedding day,
they just decided to get married and
surprise them all A friend OF
Clyde's was wired for from Des
Moines, and in two hours they were
as one. The trip to his old home
town was made, his parents informed,
but no one else. After returning here
both parties went about their work
as usual and kept absolutely quiet
until this time. Mr.. and Mrs. Sewell
of course were put under oath not to
breath a word, and the brides sister
knew nothing of ii. All in all, 1t
was clever stunt and has us all
fooled.
Mr.. Dimick is a successful business
man, having had charge of the Tabor
Lumber Co., since coming to this
town. He has made many warm
friends and everybody likes Clyde.
The bride is fine young lady who
for some time past has held the pos
ition of cashier in the big store of
Larson & Peterson Co., and it was the
cause of much regret among the
store force when she left their midst.
A fine new home, modern and up
to-date in every detail, has just been
completed ON Millionaire Row, and 1t
is here that these young folks will be
at home to their friends after June
fifteenth.
Congratulations to you, and may
life's pathway be strewn with roses"
1.-The Tom Thumb Wedding" given
in the Methodist church last Friday
evening was success in all respects.
Many favorable comments were
heard in regard to the manner in
which the boys and girls acquitted
themselves. Much credit is due Miss
Hume the trainer. Donald Varney
was chosen for groom and Christine
Cotton for bride, they performed
their parts well as did each of the
Others, the large audience was pleas
ed and some have expressed desire
to have 1.-The Wedding" repeated in
the near future. A nice sum was
realized, which will be applied on
the furnace.
