last Saturday night was a mistake
The regular concert was given
Thursday on account Of the
celebration Of the Fourth on Sat-

concert is to be given on Satur-

the usual hour. The concerts
here ought to be a drawing card
as they are the only band con-

this year. The capital is still in

WAS STOLEN
Local Man Takes Animal from
Hitchrack and Goes to
Ball Game.

Harvey Knott and Dysart Twy-
man of Prairie Hill hired a rig
at the John N. Cooper barn at
Salisbury last Sunday and joy
ously drove to Keytesville.
Their hearts were light as they
westward "hoed" to visit
friends. They got here,
hitched their horse and then,
came the trouble.
About three o'clock they hitch
ed the horse to the hitchrack in
front of the Tippett shop.
About half an hour later, Doc
Mason came along, inebriated,
and drove the horse away. He
went to a ball game at Guthridge
Mill, galloping the horse part of
the way, according to the evil
dence. After the game he de-
cided to go home with friends
and left the horse in the road.
A Mr.. Sommerfeld saw the horse
in the road, unhitched it and
placed it in the Jackson pasture
awaiting the owners coming as
the horse was much fatigued.
In town, two young men went
for the horse about $50 p. m.
and found it not. They called
the sheriff and notified Cooper.
Cooper and his son came over
and with the sheriff started
after the horse and also Doc,
who was at the home of his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Mason.
The sheriff ylaced Doc under ar
rest and Monday morning, a
warrant for stealing the horse
and rig was sworn out by Cooper
against Mason and his prelimi-
nary hearing set for Thursday at
10 o'clock a. m. Mason was re-
leased on $500 bond signed by
John D. Taylor.
Later, it seems that Mason
went to Moberly from here and
the bondsman got a little wor-
ried and with the sheriff went
to look over the ground. They
found at Moberly that Doc had
bought a ticket for Kansas City
and they telegraphed to Kansas
City and had him restrained
there until Sheriff Hurt could
get there. Mason had been
drinking heavily at the time the
act was committed. The sheriff
got Mason at Kansas City and
placed him in Jail here to await
the preliminary.
Mason was fined $50 and costs
in Justice Edwards court We'd
nesday. The collection was sus-
pended on his promise to not be
drunk here in the next six
months.

day July 3, occurred the wedding
of W. H. Flower of st. Louis
and Miss Idress Wallace of this
'olace, the wedding taking place

The wedding service, the ring
ceremony of the Episcopal church
was spoken by Rev. Smith, the
rector Of the Episcopal church at
Macon. The bride and groom
were unattended during the ser.
vice. Miss Helen Jennings sang
and Mrs. John D. Taylor played
the bridal chorus from "Lohen-
grim.
After congratulations the guest
were taken to the dining room
where an elaborate lunch was
served. At the conclusion Of the
lunch the bride prepared to go to
her new home and as she ascend
ed the landing of the stair threw
the bridal bouquet which was
caught by Miss Elizabeth White.
When the cake was cut Miss
Leannah Minter got the thimble
and Miss Maud Rucker the dime.
The bride was dressed in
white organdie over net trimmed
with lace and she carried bou-
quet of roses and lilies of the
valley.
The home was embellished
with flowers, the hall being Or
namented with hollyhocks. the
dining room with sweet peas and
the rest of the house with mas
turtiums. The event proved to
be one of the prettiest weddings
ever witnessed in the social cir
cles of the town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Flowers, left on
the fast train No. 2 at 1p. m.
for St. Louis where the groom
has lived and where they will
make their future home.

by about 25 persons, relatives
and close friends Of the family.

Salisbury Did Celebrate

Of course it was thot that
there would be a very small
crowd out to see the big things
put on Saturday on account of
the amount of farm work which
had to be done between showers
but when the day had fairly
opened and the people began
pouring in from every direc-
ton, some of the sleepy ones
walked up and took notice that it
was time to get busy with big
preparations to entertain. and
they did that very thing.
The big attraction was the dou-
BILE parachute leap from a balloon,
and it was all claimed for it in
advance. Perhaps no finer as
cension or oescent by parachute
has ever been seen in the county,
many quite ready to faint when
the yap dropped from the first
parachute and appeared to be
falling.
The ball game was the next
thing until it was pulled off two
times the same way. The least
said the better and Sundays
game should not be mentioned in
polite society, all three betwixt
and between the same aggrega-
tions or rather, conglomerations.
Every number on the big and
attractive program was given
just as advertised and if ever a
big crowd had a good time at our
eastern suburb, it was then and
there. The Roanoke band was
in fine form and pleased every
one with an abundance of good
music. Where all the very hand
some young women and beauti-
girls came from that assembled
at this city, Salisbury and Mar
celine Saturday, is a puzzle, but
the cities were full of them and
the boys simply acted like a ro-,
guish rooster in a neighboring
pen-did'nt know where to pick
first nor even cackle.
The number of automobiles in
this city and Salisbury owned
ed and driven by farmers to the
celebrations Saturday, indicated
the progressive and prosperous
condition of those who are sure
ly entitled to such luxuries.
When the day was over and the
crowd began to move homewards
it appeared as if there were two
autos to one carriage going to
the country and the occupants
were not only up-to-date in this
particular, but in every other
respect. Verify the day has past
when recreation from labor is
thot to be sprawling under the
outrageous shadow of some tree
in the yard and snoozing be-
tween slaps at pestiferous flies.
Varity is not only the spice of
life but it is also lifes chief in
spiration and prevents rust.
The hustling business men of
Salisbury are congratulated hear
tily on the entertainment they
gave their patrons and all others
who were present at the cele-
bration there Saturday, and we
venture that not one but who
fully appreciates the effort and
the success.
