Carlton ROsebrou gh

Miss Mabel Carlton, of Holly, and
Mr.. Vernon H. Rosebrough of Bristol,
surprised their many friends last Fri
day evening when they went before
Rev. C. F. Lucas, pastor of the NJ. +.
church of Holly and were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony.
The groom is one of BristoPs popu-
lar young business men being connect
ed with the firm of the H. F. Decker
Loan e. Investment Co. and is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A Rosebrough.
The bride is one Of Holly's popular
young ladies and has been employed
in the store of ]. B. Byars G. Co. for
some time at that place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rosebrough were Civ
en- 4 good rousing up by the young
folks of Bristol Saturday night and
again on Monday night by the older
people, and later the same night the
people of Holly came and gave them
another chivariri.
This happy young couple will make
their home in the southwest part of
Bristol.-Bristol Herald.

Deflatation Should be Uniform

Is it natural, is it reasonable that
prices of everything, profits of manu-
featuring and farming should be de-
flated and only railroad employees re-
main at the top figure of war prices ?
When the farmers calfskin has
dropped from two dollars to fourteen
cents, when the sawmill price of lum-
Der has gone from forty dollars a
thousand to thirteen, shall the broth
erhoods be exempt?
We do not blame them if by hook
or crook or power of Congress or wage
boards or labor organization they can
keep their wages at the top notch
while all the rest of US go down to
bedrock.
But is it just proposition that one
class alone should take no loss in the
great readjustment to normality, and
are we not setting a dangerous class
precedent if the country backs their
demand?

JANUARY SOAKER
All Records for Rainfall in January
Broken Sunday Evening.

Old timers were caused to sit up
and take notice last Sunday evening
and since then they have been scratch
ing their noodles and trying to locate
something that will match that Jan
uary rain that fell all over the coun-
ty. We have had January rains and
even thunder storms before, it is true,
but if they reached the quarter inch
mark there was some excitement. On
Sunday evening. however; it settled
down for a steady rain that soaked
in as fast as it fell, and lasted far
into the night. The government guage
showed one and quarter inches of
rain fell. At the same time most of
the state was being covered by heavy
blanket of snow, but in spite of that
fact it has not turned cold here. The
weather is pleasant and the heavy fall
of rain has soaked into the greatest
wheat crop ever planted here, and it
certainly looks good for the coming
year. Did somebody say something
about million dollar rain? 1t would
have been cheap at two million.

Flirting With Octopus

1t was humiliating that North Dako-
Ia soviet emissaries had to come to
Wall Street, the very lair of the Oc-
topus, in search of money to finance
the Townleyism dreams, and still more
humiliating to be turned down cold
by the Octopus. 1t is strange, but,
alas, it is true, that Will Street alb
solutely refused TO invest money in
that Townley hay-mow finance enter
prise which has broken some twenty
five North Dakota banks, and left
what should be one of the most pros
porous of our agricultural States
floundering in a mess wherefrom no
man living can now see the exit. But
of course the exit will be found North
Dakota is a State too big to be down
ed by even so severe an attack of
Townleyites as it has been suffering
from for years back. The disease has
reached the acute stage. The crisis
soon will be passed. Then will come
convalescence and ultimately full re-
storation to physical and mental
health. By that time Townley will be
politically no more. His plunge into
Nebraska and Kansas is his last des-
perate venture in the crazy game
which he has played until he and it
are quite played out in his home state.

his getaway down Front street with

parties realized what was taking place
there were three more in the race but
the first man out maintained his lead
and soon reached the tall timber along
the Arkansas. Later he was overtaken

disappeared, the claim being made that
the "evidence" had been lost some
where along the road. No arrests were
made, although the affair was investi-
