Reynolds—Perrrigo
At the residence of the bride’s mother, Inwood, Iowa, by
Rev. Jarvis, Thursday p.m., July 30, 1891, Mr. Wallace Reynolds
to Miss Katie Perrigo. The event noted above commanded a wide
interest. Only relatives were present, yet, the warm and hearty
congratulations of a large circle of friends was not limited. The
bride has lived in Lyon county for a number of years and has been
a resident of Inwood, almost from its start. She has done good
work in the schools of the county, being among the best of its
teachers. The groom is a young man of good moral character,
honest and industrious. The wedding tour was omitted as a thing
unnecessary, and the couple so happily united have settled down
very comfortably and are preparing to enjoy life. It is a little
late, but the HERALD begs that they will except its
congratulation for many days of sunshine through life’s
voyage.

Our Grain Merchants
All our grain houses opened their doors Monday and are preparing
for the heavy inpour of grain which will soon be upon the market.
Inwood has always had a splendid grain market, having four
houses, and sends out more grain than any other point along the
line, taking the size of the place into consideration. In order
to understand this, one has only to take a drive through the
surrounding country and look over the thrifty farms laden with
the different cereals and they will readily see why so much grain
is shipped from Inwood. Following are the names of the buyers who
will have charge of houses this season, all of whom are men well
qualified for the positions and we trust that they will deal
honorably with the people. B.B. Anderson can be found at the old
stand--W.B. Waite's, A.B. Coutts, for Bender Bros; Bart Foster,
for the Hunting Elevator Co., while J.E. Carlon, of Lawler, Iowa
takes the place of F.E. DeCelle for McMichael & Son. As has
been stated before Mr. DeCelle has been appointed to the charge
of a number of McMicheal & Son's houses along the line, but
intended, with the assistance of a second man, to buy on the
market here. More houses have recently been added to his list
which now numbers twenty four, and the supertendency of these
will keep him much of the time away from home.
Baseball
Our boys picked a nine last Saturday and went over to Alvord, in
accordance with an invitation from the players there, for a game
of baseball. A good delegation accompanied the nine and really
expected to see them beaten, but we are happy to say that we were
disappointed in the result of the game. Of course, Inwood has
some good material to make a baseball nine, but the boys have not
been playing any regular ball and, therefore, have not had the
practice necessary to put up a good game. Game was called at
about 4 o'clock, with Clow, of Rock Valley, as umpire, and the
home team chose their outs, giving our boys the first chance at
the bat and they did some good work--running in four scores. The
home team was held down to six scores until the eighth inning
when the Inwoodites did some wild playing and gave them six more
runs. Game ended with a score of 13 to 17 and the visitors were
declared the victors and were given three hearty cheers.
Notwithstanding the high score, good playing was done on both
sides and the game was an interesting one. The Alvord boys know
how to entertain their visitors and it is needless to say that
our boys were treated with every courtesy. There will be a return
game played on the Inwood grounds next week Saturday.
