Dick Dierksen.

Miss Mona Martin, of Elk Point, came today to visit in the home of her
cousin, Mrs. Wm. Bly.

Rev. H. W. Mahood left yesterday to attend the annual Northwest Iowa M. E.
conference at Spencer.

Mrs. Eric Bjork, northwest of town, underwent a serious operation at the
Akron hospital this week for fibroid tumor.

The postoffice was not moved to its new quarters the first of this week, as
expected, as a part of the equipment had not arrived.

Miss Emily Way, who is instructor of piano in the music department of the
university of Vermillion, visited here Saturday and Sunday.

The M. E. Ladies Aid will meet with Mrs. C. G. Brady next Wednesday
afternoon, with Mrs. Brady and Mrs. Hays hostesses.  All invited.

week at the J. B. Cunningham store.  See his big ad in this issue.

Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith and little daughter and Frank Mayer arrived today by
auto from Donnelly, Minn., for a visit with relatives and friends.

A thunderstorm last evening followed the warmer weather of Monday and
Tuesday.  Autumn coolness is becoming more noticeable and the work of corn
picking will soon become general.

Frank Lovell, who has endured a long period of suffering as a result of
blood poisoning, was taken to the local hospital again Saturday for a slight
operation for an abscess on the hip.  He was removed to his home on Tuesday,
and it is hoped his recovery will now be rapid.

Ex-Supt. J. C. Rogers came yesterday from Winner, S.D., to assist the
council in making final settlement with the Fairbanks-Morse Co. for the
local electric light plant, which was installed while he was in charge of
the light and water department.  Mr. Rogers is well pleased with his work at
Winner and has the new electric plant there in operation, with 24-hour
service.

Paving operations have been at a standstill again most of this week.
Saturday the crew started work and had completed about a block more, when
the supply of crushed rock once more ran out.  The workmen were held here
until Tuesday afternoon, but as nor more rock arrived they returned to the
city.  A freight from the north this (Thursday) morning brought seven cars
of rock, however, and the paving will be resumed in a few days, when it is
expected another large shipment will have arrived.

MARRIED:
The marriage of Eugene H. Lias and Miss Florence Bernice Rhodes, of this
place, was solemnized at high noon Wednesday, October 4, 1916, at the
Baptist parsonage in LeMars, Ia., Rev. Hunter officiating.  It was a quiet,
but very happy event, and was witnessed by Herman Koch and Miss Marian
Rhodes, sister of the bride.  After the ceremony the bridal party returned
to the home of the bride's parents in Akron, where they and relatives of the
contracting parties partook of a fine wedding dinner.  The bride's wedding
gown was of blue taffeta silk, trimmed with georgette lace.

The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. U.G. Rhodes and is a bright
and charming young woman.  She has lived here since early girlhood.  For
some time she has held a position in George Dudley's store.  The groom is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. George Lias, south of town, and has lived here all his
life.  He is a young man of upright character and industrious habits and in
every way worthy of the winsome bride he has won.  Both young people are
well worthy of the esteem in which they are held in a wide circle of
acquaintances, who unite in extending them heartiest congratulations and
wishes for never-ending joy and happiness in a long life's voyage.

After the dinner yesterday afternoon the newly-married couple left on a
wedding trip about two weeks to points in South Dakota, and will travel by
auto.  They will be at home after November 1st on the Lias farm south of
town, of which the groom will take charge, as his parents are planning an
extended trip west.

A son, to Mr. and Mrs. John Beckman, east of town, Thursday, September 28,
1916.
A son, to Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Phipps, south of town, Monday, October 2, 1916.
