a wedding, for instance, is describ-
ed by one friend to another. Well,
here's how Randall Hobart, of the
Mobridge Is. d. Tribune, says it
should be written up in the local
newspaper:
Miss Jennie Jones and Bob
Henry were married at the Jones
mansion last night. The bride is
a daughter of Constable Jones who
has made a good officer and will
undoubtedly be reelected this
spring. He offers a fine horse for
/ sale in another column Of this issue.
The groom runs a grocery store on
main street and is steady patron
of our advertising columns. He has
a good line of bargains in his ad
this week. All summer he paid two
cents more for butter than any
other store in town. They were
married by Reverend Josiah Butter
worth, who last week called at this
office and gave up nice order for
handbills. He is also going to give
some time to the real estate bust
ness and will write fire insurance.
So say the business cards we rec
emily printed for him. Jennie and
Bob left for Milwaukee to visit the
brides uncle who, we understand,
has a lot Of money and a cancer"
