Elder Frank r. Gillihan has

First Christian church at Mober-

move to that city the first of the

was rendered to the church here
two weeks ago. Elder Giilihan
went to Moberly Wednesday and
secured a dwelling ard made
other arrangements preliminary
to his duties. The enegetic and
genial parson has been among US
for but a short time, but in that
time has made friends of all he
has met. His efforts in the min
istry are not by any means con-
fined to lengthy sermons nor are
they of the sort popularity char
acterized as "meddlesome" with
secular affairs, but his interest is
broad and his ideas harmonize
with human needs, and, tho an
exception, his activities accord
with community interests. We
regret his departure.

Burlington Extension

1t Is pretty we'll understood in
railroad circles now that the
Burlington will build this year
its line from Mexico, Mo, to
Carrolton and join the Santa Fe
there for a shorter route to K.
City. This will mean, of course,
that another line then the Sante
Fe will run close to Dalton and
with that road completed, there
will be some prospect for our
western suburb becoming a
sp!end shippinr point, auxiliary
to the extensive facilities at this
point.

The assurance by the Peace

countries and America have no
intention whatever of interfer.

WiIks SmeetOn

At the parsonage, First Chris.
tian Church, Kansas City, Mo-,
at four O'Clock Wednesday after
noon, Mr.. Alfred Wilks of this
city and Miss Nellie Smeeton of
Kansas City were united in we'd
lock, Rev. James NJ. Davis, pa3t
or of the church officiating with
only the relatives of the bride
present.
The popular couple left i'm
mediately for Grand Island,
Ne5r., where they will spend d
few days and perhaps visit other
western points on 4 short honey
moon trip when they will return
to this city where Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilks will make their home with
his mother and sister, Miss
Della.
Mrs. Al Wilks is well known
in this community having been
born and reared at the home Of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Wm.
Smeeton north east Of this city
and where she lived until young
womanhood, moving to K. City
with the family some years ago.
She has been for some time the
head of the jewelry department
at Emery.Bird- -Thayer and the
regret expressed by the manage
ment of the big store at losing
her valuable service were many
and sincere. Mrs. Wilks is not
only a recognized woman Of
superior business capacity but is
also thoroughly versed in the
art Of home making, genial, ac-
compIished and altogether Wo,
manly and we most heartily con-
graduate the old bachelor in his
possession of a most estimabl5
life companion.
AL Wilks is known to every
one in the county, his extensive
live stock transactions for sever.
al years and his activity in politi.
cal affairs getting him in touch
with people Of every station in
social and business life and he is
justly popular and worthy of the
confidence placed in him. 4
hustler and full of progressive
ideas which he does not hesitate
to put in motion, domestic and
attentive to the comfort Of those
for whom he is responsible, he
will be all that a good woman
could desire. Our heartiest con.
gratuIations.
