THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.

The charge is frequently made that
America is no longer the land of OPP
pOrtunity that it was when the boys
anne from the farm and worked their
ways up to places of great RESPONSE
bility and wealth. But the facts seem
to deny this claim. Every little while
the newspapers carry stories that re-
flute it. Witness the following dis
patch from Omaha:
William NJ. LETTERS, who started
railroading as a messenger boy at
North Platte, Neb., tw~enty-eight years
ago, was made vice president of the
Union Pacific railroad. Mr.. LETTERS is
but Al years of age"
Not every messenger boy is on his
way to the vice presidency of a rail-
road, but there are thousands of po-
sitions on the railroad now occupied
by conductors. engineers, superin-
t%endents, fOremen, general agents, all
responsible official positions, awiting
for faithful and energetic employees to
rise from the ranks. And so they will
do.
When Bulfnch. the first American
architect" vas near the height of his
fame early in the last Gentry, he dis
couraged an applicant who desired to
study architecture with him, stating
that it was his belief that most of the
great buildings in America had al
ready been done. Architects of the
coming decades would not have much
Of importance to do.
This is the tendency of the older
mind-to feel that the work has been
done.
America spells opportunity. We
have hardly started yet. The young
mar is fitting himself to TAXI his place
in a country of a mighty future. in a
new and better world. Do it right

EESEY-McC0OL.

Miss Mabel Geesey of this place and
Jack McCOOl, of Pauline, surprised
their many friends last Wednesday
morning by slipping down town to the
Methodist parsonage to be married.
As Rev. Miller was away they were
married by the German Baptist minis
ter.
The bride was charmingly gowned
in soft white satin and carried a bO-
quet of pink and white rose buds. The
couple were attended by Miss Anna
Emmett, who looked very pretty in a
gown of white batiste, and the brides
brother, George Geesey.
Besides the relatives of the bride,
only a very few friends witnessed the
ceremony. Among the number were
Mrs. Sexton, Miss Colson, Pearl Walk
er, old time friends of Mr.. McCOol's,
and Mr.. Tilgner, who is staying with
the Geeseys.
Mrs. McCOol has grown from girl
hood to womanhood in this community
and is one of Fairview's most lovable
girls. Mr.. McCOol spent last winter
here looking after his stock, and i'm
pressed every one as a man of esti-
mable qualities. Both young people
have a host of friends who wish them
joy in their new life. The happy pair.
