everybody guess who the leading boot
logger is in Beetown and the one who

The lecture course given at the city

we'll attended in spite of the awful
storm that prevailed, and the ladies of

of years.

The clerks at Ludden's store will be
on extra duty for some time, as two
of them, Mr. Jesse Sawyer and Miss

day evening in the storm and landed
at the residence of the Rev. WOOley,
where they were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony, and for fear of
accidents, they were accompanied by
Grant Garner and Miss Grace Morrow.
Their many friends tender cOngratu-
latiOns and very best wishes, and pray
that may be the first and last stormy
day Of their married life. They will
make their home for time with the
groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman
Sawyer.
Last Tuesday while Sherm Hayden
and Major Taylor were on their way
here from Little Grant, when near the
Isaac Garthwaite place his Ford auto
took a slide on some ice and turned
half way over and into a ditch about
6 feet deep, throwing Taylor over
Sherm's head, and hurting nobody, and
the only damage was the breaking Of
the upper part of the windshield, and
1t happened that another auto load
came along, and with their help and
some others who happened to be near
by, they succeeded in lifting it back
into the road and they soon were on
their way again, and arrived in
Bloomington all o. K.
