CLIFFORD MARROW TAKES
BRIDE.
Married Last Wednesday at Waukon
to Miss Veronica Roman.

The many friends of Clifford Mar
low in this community will join with
us in extending congratulations and
good wishes to him on his marriage
last Wednesday to popular young
lady of Waukon. We take the follow
ing particulars from the Waukon
Democrat:
At the home of Rev. FIR. Norton
this Wednesday morning was solemn
ICED the marriage of Miss Veronica
Roman, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
E. Roman of this city, and Mr.. Cliff
ord NARROW, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. NARROW of DEBORAH. They were
attended by Miss Gretta Waldron
and Mr.. Joe Roman. Following the
ceremony a wedding breakfast was
served to the immediate relatives at

The bride is one of Waukon's popu-

enjoys the love and esteem of wide
circle of acquaintance. The young
man to whom she has plighted her
troth was one of the gallant boys who
volunteered his services in the late
war and returned severely wounded

Owned Upper Story of Building.

Harlan, Ia.-One of the queerest
existing ownerships in the state
came to an end here today with the
sale of the Nelson block to Lebeck
& Feldhahn and Senator "Tobe"
Smith.
In 1876 uncle" Jimmy Long
erected the building, intending at
first to make it but one story high,
but the Masonic lodge made deal
with him whereby he was to add an
other story. This he did, selling the
second story to the lodge.
The lodge owned and occupied
this until the present Masonic tenn
pie was built in 1908, when they
sold their holding to T. II. Smith,
who has since occupied the rooms
with his law office.
For seventeen years Senator Smith
has owned a building in the air, with
no foundation and no chance to dig
a cellar. Nelson has owned per-
fectly good building all these years
which had no roof.
But they have gotten along very
amicably, there seeming to be tacit
understanding that Nelson would
hold Smith up If he would keep the
rain off of both of them.
Now the whole thing becomes the
common property of the new part
ners.

Two stalks in One Kernel.

We have all heard of making two
blades of grass grow where one
grew before, but now comes c. w.
Pilgrim, of Madison township, and
he makes two stalks of corn grow
where one grew before. In other
words Mr.. Pilgrim and his good wife
each took 100 kernels OF corn and
planted them to test. Mr.. Pilgrim got
So sprouts out of the 100 and Mrs.
Pilgrim got 101 sprouts out or the
100 kernels she planted. Mr.. Pilgrim
became skeptical and insisted that
101 kernels must have been planted.
SO to remove all doubt the kernels
were uprooted and 100 was the cor
rect number. with one of the kernels
having two perfect sprouts. This is
something unusual and in all OF Mr..
Pilgrims years of farming he never
saw anything like it before. The kerr
mel and its twin sprouts are now on
display in our Office window

JONES PROPOSES TO.
SELL CITY WATER NOW
COMING TO CITY LAKE

At the regular meeting Of the board
OF city commissioners Friday night,
u. S. JONES appeared before the body
with a proposition to enter into per-
mancnt contract to supply the city
with specified amount Of water
from Hickory creek source that is
now connected with the city lake by
pipe line.
Mr.. JONES proposed to the city
commissioners that he would furnish
a minimum Of 10000 gallons OF water
daily for cents per 1000 gallons.
Upon this basis the expense for wa
Ter would be SIS per day or S5,475
per year
He further agreed to assume all
damages that might be incurred by
back.water on account of the presence
Of the dam at the intake.
In setting forth the minimum
amount specified in his proposition
he says that would be all the city
would ever be required to pay for.
amount OF water above the 10000
gallons specified that the city might
use or demand without additional
cost.
The matter was taken up by the
| board and discussed. and while no
permanent agreement was effected
Mr.. JONES was instructed to prepare
contract and submit it to the board
at the next weekly meeting.
Some who have discussed the mat
ter state that 1t is extremely doubt
full IL the city commissioners can
enter into an agreement to bind the
city perpetually under its terms, they
contend that this should be granted
as franchise, and before that is
done It would have to be submitted to
vote OF the people.
