mony at high noon, Wednesday, Novem-

Rev. Kirwin said the magic words
which made them one, in the presence
of the immediate relatives.
The principals were attended by
Grace Burr, sister of the groom, and
Erwin Smith, brother of the bride.
The bride was beautifully. attired in
light blue crepe de chine and trimmed
in silk lace, and carried her favorite
flowers. ferns and carnations.
The bridesmaid was dressed in pink
markroset, wearing carnations also.
The groom and best man were dressed
in blue serge, wearing carnations on
their coat lapels.
After the ceremony the bridal party
took dinner at Champlin's restaurant,
after which they wended their way to
the station, where the happy couple
boarded the train for their honeymoon
trip to Decorah and Calmar where they
will visit relatives of both.

and loved by a wide circle of friends
who join with US in wishing them long
and happy welded life. -

Dr.. Robertson Resins Pastorate.

As the result of an invitation to
preach at Faribault, Minn., few
weeks ago, DIR. D. T. Robertson has
received a call from the Congrega-
tional Church there which he has ac-
cepted, and on Sunday morning last he
rendered his resignation as pastor of
the church here, effective the last of
the month, as he begins his new pas
torate about Jan. 1st. The Cresco
church has grown and prospered under
his pastorate and he has many friends

sincerely regret his removal from the
town.

To Rural Route Patrons.

Winter always makes more difficult
the work of the rural carriers who are
expected to serve their patrons regu-
larly regardless of roads and weather
conditions, and little assistance on
the part of patrons will be highly ap-
preciated by each and every carrier and
will aid greatly in securing prompt and
satisfactory mail service to the patrons.
Many mail boxes on the routes are
almost inaccessible when snow accumu-
lates. Ask your carrier if he prefers
your box located elsewhere and if he
does, move it for him. He should not
be expected to get out of his rig and
wade through snow to put mail in a
box, and this office will not require any
carrier to do so if any patron refuses
or neglects to place his box in an cas-
lily accessible place.
Keep plenty of Stamps on hand
they will not deteriorate in quality or
decrease in value. Buy stamp books.
They are more convenient than sheet
or loose stamps to handle by the car
rier. and the cover protects them nice
ly for the buyer. The carriers can!sup-
ply them in rs or 2's in 25c books, 2's
in 49c and 97c books and a "combina-
ton" book of "a 2's and "a is for 73c.
This latter book is most convenient.
Many mail boxes have doors which
do not close tightly. If you have one
of this description better fix it up. A
gale of wind may blow valuable let
ter or your cherished newspaper out of
the box and into the snow. The car
rier is blamed for non-delivery, when
the fault is your own, and you suffer
the disappointment of the loss of the
mail matter.
If heavy falls of snow come and the
winds subsequently drift and block the
roads, get out and break the roads for
your carrier and help keep it open. You
will be repaid by getting your mail
earlier and also avoid the possibility of
having no delivery at all, for carriers
are not required to travel over impas-
sible roads.
Above all, don't put loose pennies in
the box unless it absolutely cannot be
avoided. 1t is no pleasant job to fish
for them with bare hands when freez-
ing gale is blowing.
l feel sure that every Cresco carrier
is anxious to accommodate his patrons
and give satisfactory service, and ask
the cooperation of ali patrons for the
betterment of the service and assist
ance for the carriers.

District Court in Session.

The December term of court is still
in session, although both grand and
petit juries have been discharged, and
it is doubtful if the work can be dis
posed of without occupying part OF
next week.
The grand jury was in session but
two half days and it is currently re-
ported that but one indictment, that in
q bootlegging case, was returned.
The petit jury was occupied on two
cases. In the first, M. P. Lydon vs.
Amos Doolittle, the jury returned an
instructed verdict for defendant. and
in the case of Becker VS. Michel Bros.
the jury returned verdict for defend
ants. After the trial of the latter
case, the petit jurors were all dis
charged from duty.
