Mr.. N. u. Bend Married.


The numerous friends of Mr.. N. u.
Bond, who is so well and favorably
known throughout Garrett county, will
be surprised to learn that on January
1st, 1916, Mr.. Bond was married at
London, Kentucky, his bride being
Miss Martha Medlock, of Annville,
Kentucky. Mr.. Bond had been looked
upon as confirmed bachelor and the
news that he became a benedict more
than four years ago will come as a
complete and happy surprise to his
many friends. After his marriage,
Mr.. Bond took his bride to Cincin-
natl. Ohio, where he established a
beautiful home, being within conve-
nient reach of his large lumber plant
at Bond, Ky. This union has been
blessed with three sons, the first be-
ing twins, now about three years of
age, and the third son a few months
old. The fact of the marriage has been
known to few of the close friends
of Mr.. Bond for long time, some of
whom have visited at his home in
Ohio. We extend sincere congratula-
tions and hope that in the near future
we may again have Mr.. Bond with his
family among US, as he contemplates
building a substantial home at or
near Oakland, where the summers,
at least, will be passed.

Great was the surprise of Mrs.
John Tharnish of Atlantic when one
of her neighbors Wednesday handed
over to her a purse containing $40
in money, which she had lost seven
years ago. The finder was Mrs
Loise Elliott and the purse was
tucked in a box Of quilt scraps. II
was in 1913 that Mrs. Tharnish lost
the purse. She instituted careful
search of her home at the time, and
though she looked in every possible
and impossible nook, the money was
nowhere to be found. She finally
dismissed the matter from her mind
and nearly forgotten the incident
when Mrs. Elliott came to her We'd
nesday, and handed over the purse
with the money.
About a year ago Mrs. Tharnish
gave Mrs. Elliott box containing
quilt pieces. Mrs. Elliott did not
have occasion to use them until last
Wednesday, when she opened the
box and much to her establishment
found the sum of money. She has
tened across the alley to report her
find to Mrs. Tharnish who identified
the pocketbook as the one missing
for seven years.

No Use For Horses

Elmer G. Ketcham, who farms five
miles northeast of Spencer, does not
have a single horse on his place. He
is purely and simply a mechanical
farmer, doing everything by ma
chimes. Mr.. Ketcham now has two
tractors, touring car and a truck
on his place, and he says they han
die everything satisfactorily. He
is farming a quarter section of land
and this is his second year Of doing
without horses. He is veteran OF
the world war, serving in a replace
ment regiment at Camp Macarthur,
Texas, where he . received his dis
charge in December, 1918.

He assemblies his machines him

bled last year was bought by farm
err near Greenville but Mr.. Ketcham
built another. His neighbors are

Bad Fire at Council Bluffs

Fire of undetermined origin Sun
day afternoon destroyed the Iowa
Fruit and Produce Co. building at
Council Bluffs, causing losses esti-
mated at between $4,000 and s40,-
900, sixty percent of which is cover
ed by insurance, on that structure
and its contents, and also damaging
the coal sheds Of the Council Bluffs
Ice and Coal Co., east of the fruit
company plant. 1t is thought that
the flames started in a stack of ba-
mana crates on the east loading plat
form.
Passersby reported the fire at
1910. Within a few moments ev-
cry available piece of fire fighting ap-
paratus in the city was on the ground
and practically every foot OF hose
was stretched. Despite the fact
that several streams of water were
played on the flames, the building,
which is an old structure, entirely of
wood, was totally destroyed. Crates,
straw, boxes and cases were ready
fuel for the flames.
The confiagration proved quite a
spectacle for the Sunday afternoon
crowd which had collected uptown.
Black smoke relied from the burn
