A very pretty wedding was sol
emnized at St. Frances Church,
Wilmoo, Wednesday by the . mar
riage of Mr, Michael MeXellan,
and Miss Olive Saxe. The bride
wore a very becoming gown of
blue nuns veiling and carried a bo
quet of asters. The maid of honor ;
Miss Lizzie MeXellan wore a blue
silk gown. The groom was attend
ed by Harry Saxe. After the cer
emony an elaborate wedding din
ner was served at the home of the
bride's parents, at which about
one hundred guests were present.
Many beautiful and useful presents
were received by the young couple. |
For the first lime in the history of
Montour county a man has been j
arrested and sent to jail for the nun- i
payment of taxes. The delisiqut nt j
is James Dailey, of Danville, an ■
ironworker, who is three years in \
arrears. The arrest was caused by
the retiring tax collector, who insists
that this is the first of several hun
dred arrests that will be made. Dai
ley has'nt any money, can't get any
and says he will rot in jail before he
pays up-
It is almost as dangerous to ask!
"Who discovered the North Pole'."'
as it used to be to ask "Where did
you get that hat?"
| An ordinance was passed l>y the
i town council Tuesday night, grant
! ing privilege to a proposed incorpo
| rated water company who will uti
lize the cold spring and provide La
' porte with an up to date water
| works. This* will lie a welcomed
i project and its advancement, could
not come at a better time, as about
the entiie populace are now depend-
I injr upon the two public spigots that
j the Mokoma Company have gener
ously opened to the people. The
Mokoma Company last summer put
in a small private system to supply
their cottages and were it not for
this available source of water sup
ply now being given free gratis it is
hard to conjecture what our inhabi
tants woidd now be doing for theii
water supply, as nearly all wells
and available sources in and about
the town, with tin? exception of the
cold spring, have yielded to the
severe drouth as in other sections.
With succeeding seasons as deplor
ably dry as this is proving, the new
water works project becomes imper
ative as it is the only source Laporte
has to depend upon.
A scientist has established the
fact that hens have memory and
reason. We never liked the term
'•hen" as applied to the lovelier hall
of the human family, but we now
see one more reason for its appro
priateness. Every married man
knows that his wife has a memorj
far outrunning the effects of the
acts of the poor misguided male.
As tor reasoning well, a man can't
reason the way a woman does, that
is certain.
In furtherance of its policy of en
couraging agricultural interest along
its lines the Pennsylvania Railroad
has purchased a farm of."> 0 acres at
Bacon, Del., on the Delaware Rail
road and will operate an experiment
al station for the benefit of lamer.-
of the Maryland, Delaware and Vir
ginia peninsula, and with a view of
exploiting the advantages of that
section throughout the country.
Here is the way papers will
write up weddings ten years hence*
"The bride looked very well in a
traveling dress,but all eyes were cen
tered upon the groom. He wore a
dark suit that fitted his form perfect
ly and in his dainty gloved hand
he carried a small rose. His curly
hair was beautifully done, anda deli
cate odor of hair oil of the best qual
ty floated down the isle as lie passed.
The young people will miss him
now that he is married, lie is loved
by all for his many accomplish
ments his tender grace and his win
ning ways. The bride commands a
good salary as bookkeeper and the
groom will miss none of the lux
uries to which he has been accustom
ed. A crowd ot pretty men saw
him off at tht, depot.
Candidate for District Attorney,
F. W. Meylert. made the Forks
ville Fair his head-quarters, meet
ing liis many friends and receiving
assurance of his success at the
polls. Mr. Meylert is too well
known to the voters of Sullivan
county to need newspaper praise
in extolling his ability and quali
fications for the important ollice to
which he aspires. Notwithstand
ing that his success on Tuesday,
November 2, may be regarded as
assured, your support will never
theless be much appreciated. Do
yourself the honor of voting for
Attorney F. W. Meylert for Dis
trict Attorney of Sullivan county.
If you are a kicker and see the
shadows of failure in every thine
that is proposed to help the town,
for heaven's sake go into some se
cluded place and kick your own
shadow on the day bank, and give
the men who are working to build
up the town a chance. One long
faced, hollow-eyed, whining, caping,
chronic kicker can do more to keep
away business and capital from a
t'lwn than all thedrotlis, short crops,
chinch bugs, cyclones, and blizzard
combined.
Dr. Cook's fortune i> assured
Hu has gone on the platform, and
that means that he'll not have to
write prescriptions any more. For
tune smiles sweetly on a few in
dividuals, and Dr. Cook is one ol
them.
