"But when Mr.. Glib came next day
for Miss Carter and his little daughter
Maggie and me, he suddenly became
stiffly silent and marched us off with
out dinner, and did not speak till half
way home. Later on his good wife
enlightened me as to the cause of his
displeased silence. He, too, had little
faith that time. But he was more
keenly interested one Sunday when
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace, who were them
selves keenly interested in the ranch
ing family that drove eighteen miles
every other Sunday to church, and
they urged us to come in for cup of
tea before facing the prairie road, and
the afternoon sun. AS they busted
themselves with their little gasoline
stove there marched round the manse
and peeped in at every window tall
eros Ventre Indian, who came in and
, said, tapping his chest, Good Indian,
Me- and he presented his permit from
the Indian agent who had given him
leave to leave the reservation. Then
he said ten cents to each Of us but
did not get it. We had all put our
pennies in the contribution box and

"Before Mr.. Chamberlain there was

Have you folks erected a stone to his
memory The leading basso of the
choir, a veteran of the Civil war, said
to me of him, Now l have seen how
a Christian can die But there was
no manse in his day. No! it was rent

IF my paper were not too long al

wit and humor in the pulpit and of
the regular Sunday evening groups of
the gay young men about town, who,
like Goldsmith's group in the Deserted
Village of Auburn, came to scott, and
remained to pray. Just ask Ex-sher-
iff Ed Kelley if he remembers how
generously he contributed every Sun
day night, just like Christian gen.
tleman, tho his creed is little diff
ferent. And so we come to the Stu

Mr.. Mitchell, now or recently lead

was gay young bachelor and kissed
the Sleeping Beauty in the hammock
at John McJannett's.
"But the first minister I met in the
Presbyterian church in Minot was Rev.

BRATTON.SLACK

The marriage of Miss Dorothy Slacl
to Mr.. Grin Dixon Brstton took place a
the Methodist Church on Wednesday
evening at six o'clock, in the presenc
of large company of friends and rela
tives.
1t was distinctly a pink and greer
wedding, these colors predominating il
the decorations and the gowns of tn,
wedding party. The church Was prettilN
decorated with green vines and plants
the couple standing under an arch OF
pink and green lattice.
Previous to the ceremony Miss Retts
Brooks, who wore pale green charmense
and lace, sang two appropriate solos,
Miss Beers acting as accompanist, as
sisted by Mr.. w. H. Harvey, Jr., on
the violin. The wedding march was
played by Mrs. Miles Hopkins, of St.
Joseph, La, with violin accompaniment.
The brides maids, who also acted as
ushers, proceeded the couple with large
punches of pink tulle which they un-
wound thus forming an aisle for the
party to pass through. The bride 8
maids were Misses Mary Montgomery,
of Shreveport, and Laura Newman, of
Edwards, Miss, a roommate of the
bride when she attended Bell Haven
College. The brides maids wore pink
taffeta and lace.
The maid of honor was Miss Mildred
Elder, who wore green silk taffeta with
silver lace and tulle. and carried pink
carnations.
The groom was accompanied by Mr..
James Shambiin, of Holly Ridge and the
ceremony was performed by the Rev. d.
c. Barr, paster of the Methodist church,
the double ring service being used.
Master Frank Craig was ring bearer,
bearing the ring in the heart of Gala
lily, while little Miss Elizabeth Holt, in
white organdie, was flower girl and was
most assiduous to her duties.
The bride came in on the arm of her
brother, Mr.. Stewart Slack. She wore
simple but effective gown of georgette
crepe with pearl trimming, and carried
white carnations and lilies-of- the valley
and wore the customary tulle veil.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bratton left on the
evening train for New Orleans, after
which they will reside in Holly Ridge,
where the groom has a responsible posi-
ton with a mill in that place.
The brides going-away suit was blue
serge, with hat to match and grey shoes.
The couple were given jolly send-otf
at the train by large company of
friends.
