Webber- -Creenlaw.
 Miss Louise Greenlaw, daughter of Mrs. c. A. Greenlaw, of this city, and Dewey Webber, son of MT. and Mrs. Wm. Webber, of this city, were quiet ly married on Tuesday morning at II o'clock, at the home of the brides mother, in The Pines, east of here. Following a wedding breakfast, right after the ceremony, the happy young couple left in their car, for Prescott, where they will remain for a few days, then going to Jerome, where MT. Webber has a position in the J. 0. Penney store.
 The ceremony was conducted by Rev. w. H. Took, of the Federated church.
 Besides the parents, those present were: Mrs. w. D. Draine and Miss Eleanor Greenlay, the brides sisters; MT. and. Mrs. Dehn, Nick Sedar, Hor- ace Nay and Miss Katherine Ken nedy.
 The Greenlay home was prettily decorated in green and pink, with mistletoe and brides roses.
 Miss Greenlaw is known to nearly every person in this county, where she has always lived. Until couple of weeks ago she was deputy county clerk, and a most efficient one. Mir. Webber also had lived here for years, having been employed at the local J. c. Penney store until few months ago, when he received a promotion transfer to Jerome, where J. G. Phil- lips, formerly of Flagstaff, is man. ager. Mir. and Mrs. Webber will ac- company MT. Phillips to Victoria, Texas, in the spring, where the two gentlemen will be permanently located for the J. c. Penney Go.
 Their many friends here join in ac- cording heartfelt best wishes to the newly-weds, though sincerely regret ting that the home of these fine young people is to be elsewhere.
 The bride, anticipating that some of their friends might decorate the au- tomobile in which they were to travel to Jerome, had it hidden, under lock and key, in C. B. Wilson's garage. But 1t was found during the ceremony, and Horace E. Nay decorated it literally with numerous legends in removable white paint, announcing the names of the young people, with cupids, hearts and sentimental phrases and hierogly- phics galore, besides a multitude of empty tin cans, bottles, etc, and sta- toned it at the intersection of Aspen avenue and San Francisco street, where it was admired for some time by the crowd.

Dy tne crOWu.
 In Honor of
 A Good Man.
 That public-spfrited, kindly, much beloved man, Rev. Father c. Vabre, is to be the honored guest at banquet at St. Anthony's hall, on Wednesday, December the 9th, at 7:30 p. m., in celebration of the twenty-fifth. anni- versary of his elevation to the priest hood.
 The banquet is to be given by the ladies of the parish, the arrange ments being made by committee composed of Mrs Edward O'Farrell, Mrs. Agnes Pouthie and Mrs. George Babbitt. But knowing the high es- teem and respect with which the good padre is regarded by the entire com munity, feelings that are untinctured by sectarianism, the attendance will not be limited to members of his church. Members of other churches and many who are not affiliated with any church will be delighted at this opportunity to pay him their respects.
 The invitations, just issued, advise us that any of those who feel so dis posed, may contribute toward the ex- pense of the banquet, sending their contribution to the committee. Any surplus will go to Father Vabre to use in his good work.
 December, according to friends of Father Vabre, has always been an inn portant month in his life. He was born in that month, the 9th, we be- lieve. He was ordained, in New York, on the Fist of that month. Numerous other pleasant things have happened to him in December, in- cluding all of his Christmasses, and it is especially appropriate that this silver jubilee be held in December.

WINGED, that he did not quar- of ths
contents of the glass. including the
fresh water serpent. Strangely
enough he hesitated an instant be-
fore putting the glass to his lips
and In that instant the light fell on
the water and Nicks attention was
attracted to something moving there
in. A closer examination showed the
presence OF the snake, which was
wiggling vigorously. There was a
time when the snake appeared to the
drinker after the drink but this is
tho first time. in recent years at
least. that the snake came before the
liquor trickled down q thirsty throat.
Nick went to bed thirsty. after
carefully pouring the water and it's
tenent into a pint milk bottle. Today
he displayed the rare catch before
the city council and expected to have
tho little stranger examined under
the glass by tho city physician.
Nick's experience. however, need
not cause the thirsty residents Of the
city to deny themselves fresh drink.
It is not likely Hans Madsen is
