B. e. Davies and Clara Dunn were
married Wednesday evening by Justice
E. E. Parsons, and following the cere-
mony reception was rendered the
happy couple by the young friends of
the bride, who attended high school
during the past two or three years, at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Bartell.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davies were the recip-
tents of many congratulations. They
will make their home at Butte.
L. w. Barnes, as one of the commit
tee appointed to raise funds for the
proposed new hospital, wrote to Sears,
Robuck & Co., the mail order house,
for a donation toward the enterprise,
setting forth that as the firm was re-
ceiving large patronage from this
place and locality it could afford to
come across handsomely. Mr.. Barnes
was not modest in his appeal, as he
touched the firm for $500, or there
abouts. Much to Mr.. Barnes surprise
and the surprise of everybody else, the
mail order octupus let go of $50. The
donation was as much appreciated as
it was unexpected, and it kind of pulls
the teeth of the oft repeated charge
that mail order houses never con-
tribute to local enterprises. 1t is al.
together probable that the only reason
that the donation was forthcoming was
because MIR. Barnes enclosed with hi:
letter soliciting the contribution 6
clipping from the Gazette, in which
mail order houses were charged will
taking large sums out Of every com
munity and never putting anything
back in return.
