Fined For Accosting Girls

Officer Cook and Art Corey picked
up A. o. Rumyan, of st. Johns, and
another travelling man from Grand
Rapids, for accosting girls on the
long walk, Saturday night and ar
rested them. They were not lodged
in Jail but were told to appear Mon
day morning for trial. Rumyan ap-
peared as required and plead guilty
and paid a fine of $500 and costs,
but so far his partner has not ap-
pearei and the police are looking for
him. Justice M. A. Reed, before
whom the man was taken, said that
he was getting tired of this kind Of
business and was going to double up
on the fine part in these masher
cases and if the heavier fine failed
to stop the. disgraceful practice, he
would resort to straight jail SEN
tences. Harold Holland, of Orleans;
Forest Longbreke and Fred Brooks
of Grand Rapids, were picked up on
Sunday night and on Monday MORN
ing they plead guilty to a charge
of accosting girls and paid fines to-
falling $3.50 in each case which made
it dearly purchased conversation
with the ladies, at that.

LABOR DAY COMMITTEE
HAD A DUCK SUPPER

The Labor day committee came
very near being cheated out of duck
supper which they planned en- hav-
ing this week, but the thing worked
cut all right and the boys had the
supper, with their own ducks being
served, just the same as if they
would have had the management
of the whole affair and they were
also saved the fuss and muss of
getting ducks ready for feed.
1t all happened through the fact
that because the water in the river
was too cold on Labor day for the
holding Of the duck race, the boys
were left with three ducks on their
hands and thev Clipped in and
bought ten days ration of corn and
play ed the ducks in the vacant cage
in Cook park. with Gerald Barnes,
as their custodian. Sunday morning
the ducks were gone. A new lock
with two brand new KEYS was left
and the ducks which had been ex-
pected to furnish the main part of
the duck supper this Thursday night
had vanished with the old lock.
While the boys were unable to To-
cate the birds and equally unable to
say who took them, they alto nee al
legged that Smith Stanton was i'm
plicated rather deep in the unholy
scheme and the blame for the disap-
pearance of the ducks was laid large
ly at Smiths door. Others were ac-
cused of the theft, but they produc-
ed various alibis and got away from
their accusers in one way or another
1t began to look as if the ducks
had gone for good and as if the par
ty which had been scheduled to be
held up at Nick Miller's house to-
morrow night was not going to be
held when each one of the boys on
the Labor day committee received
neatly typewriter letter inviting
him to a duck supper which would be
given in the committees honor at
Hotel Belding, last night. While
some Of the boys thought that it
was a joke, there were about 20
present all told and they had good
time. No one seemed to know how
the ducks were, stolen, however, nor
how the supper had been arranged
and who was paying for it, but the
committee boys had their ducks back
again and enjoyed the banquet fully
as much as if the ducks had never
disappeared.

Statement From MIR. Reese.

Dear Mr. Editor:
Recently I had the misfortune to be
robbed while coming from Johnston
to Edgefeld and had taken from me
one hundred and twenty-eight dol
lars; one hundred and fourteen dol
lars of which belonged to the state.
Though I regret to state such a
thing, it has been rumored that l
was not held up, and evidently some
of my enemies are responsible for
such report. 1 hope the public will
wait and see just exactly the state OF
affairs before they allow themselves
to form an opinion. l have been liv-
ing in Edgefeld thirty-odd years and
nv reputation for truth and honesty
has never been attacked.
Very respectfully,

Marriage of Miss Beulah Cloer
to MIR. Julian H. Morgan.

The Advertiser has been interest
ed in this marriage for several rea-
sons. One especially was that Miss
Cloer has been one of our valued cor
RESPONDENTS for some time since the
family of Mr.. Cloer of the Meeting
Street section moved into our county
from Lenoir, N. c.
This is an incident like the shoe
makers family never having: shoes,
and the newspaper mans family new
er getting a write up. As Miss Cloer
was our correspondent, when her
marriage took place, there was no
one left "to tell the tale," and so we
had to find it all out by hearsay.
Mr.. Morgan is son of our friend,
Mrs. Julia Morgan, and the marriage
took place at Johnston early in
March, the ceremony being perform
ed by Rev. w. S. Brooke.
MI. and Mrs. Morgan will make
their home at the Kinnaird place
near Meeting Street.
Mr.. NJ. G. Cloer and family have
removed to their former home in
North Carolina. We are glad to have
Mrs. Morgan remain in Edgefeld
permanently as a member of one of
our best and most honored families.
