bly, as possible. Conductors and
motormen can do their share by
answering inquiries correctly and
courteously. Make an endeavor to
give the Information that is desired

are clear before starting car warn
passengers not to step Off before car
stops. Do not rely too much on
sounding of gong. Don't take chances
Call out street intersections. trans
fer functions. principal hotels, and
places of interest and amusement.
But with 1t all remember that II
costs money to run cars and that we
must have a return. Get your fares
Call out Fares. Please" The motor

WELL KNOWN KILLDEER
COUPLE MARRIED HERE

The parlor of the w. R. Veigel home
on Second Avenue West was the
scene of a very pretty but quiet we'd
ding at high noon last Thursday
when Miss Lena Miller became the
bride of Raymond H. Poff. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Den
ninghof, pastor of the German Luth-
ern church at Taylor. Later Mrs.
Veigel, assisted by Mrs. Geo. Thomp-
son and Mrs. James Callahan, served
a very fine wedding luncheon, and the
newly-weds departed for their home
at Killdeer on No. 2, going around
via Mandan.
Mrs. Poff is the youngest daughter
of Mrs. Mary Miller of Richardton,
and is we'll known to many in this
city as she has been employed here
at the Roquette store and also in the
telephone office and spent some time
with her friend, Mrs. Veigel. Just
before her marriage, she was engaged
as clerk in the Cleveland store at
Killdeer. Mrs. Pof is a very pleas
ant, sociable young lady, thorough
and capable. She looked very dainty
on her wedding day in a gown of old
rose crepe meteor.
The bridegroom has for some time
been engaged as cashier in the
Northwestern State Bank Of Killdeer.
He is a rising young business man Of
good habits and has many friends in
his home community. He has pur-
chased a coy little home at Killdeer
and the young couple went immedi-
ately to housekeeping. !: 4:ss
Among the ouL-v1-Cown guests at
the wedding were the groom's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Poff, of Ada, Mimi, the
brides mother, and also the brides
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Callahan, of Richardton, all of whom,
together with the couples friends in
this city, accompanied Mr.. and Mrs
Poff to the depot and riced them
good and proper as they left.
