At Woodward, Oklahoma, on the
goth of April, William B. Parker mar
ried Mrs. Amelia Allen. Mr.. Parker is
land owner here, and has lived
here for years, until he became mana
ger of the Farmers Union Coopera-
tive Creamery in Billings. Mr.. and
Mrs. Parker will reside in Billings
after May LIST.
The custom of driving to Billings
to attend church services is growing
in favor with local people. The gravel
ed highway now makes it easily pos
sible to drive there in about an hour.
The automobile is increasing the SOC
ial enjoyment of rural people perhaps
more than any of the recent inven-
tions to which we have become ac-
customed. A number of the residents
of Silesia drive every Sunday to hear
the lecture sermons given at the Bah
cock theatre by Rev. Raymond B.
Walker.
George w. REM, agent for the
Northern Pacific and Burlington rail
roads here for the past three years,
has announced his intention of leaving
Silesia soon, with his family, to re-
side in Edgar, where he will act as
agent for the c. B. & r. railway. Mr..
REM has made many friends in this
community who will regret his depar-
ture. He has taken an active interest
in all local affairs and his opinion
current events as well as historical
or business and political matters, was
sought by many. Mr.. Ed. Lennon,
present agent at Fromberg, will be
the next representative of the rail
roads here. Mr.. Lennon was operator
here few years ago.
Field work on the farms throughout
the Silesia district is now occupying
the full time of all agriculturists,
whose work has necessarily been de-
layed about two weeks by the recent
storms Those who have planned
large acreage of the various crops
raised here know that it will require
the maximum effort to get their
ground In proper shape and seeding
done within the time limit which Gus
tom has established for this work. The
sugar beet acreage is slightly larger
than last year, the bean acreage has
been lessoned, the volume of truck
gardening will be somewhat reduced.
Hay and grain will total about the
same IN acres sown, as last year, with
increases noted in the dry land sec
lions. The tendency to replace small |
punches of cattle with sheep meets
with growing approval among the |
stock men; the raising of horses is |
no longer regarded as profitable here |
and has been discontinued, yet all |
agree that good young horses are
hard to find, and are high in price.
with prospects of still greater scarcity
and higher prices in the future.
An unusual charivari was given
Grover G. Reams of Silesia and Flor
ence Davis of Fromberg, who were
married in Billings recently. Mr.. and |
Mrs. Reams are residing on their
farm which is situated between Rock
vale and Silesia, and last Sunday af-
ternoon were visited by local people,
so numerous that ten cars were need
ed to convey them to the home of the
bride and groom, who found that
special and unusual means had been
provided to take them for ride,
