in Kansas without a warm place and esteem from them, so a farewell party
was given him at the home of Ed. Stinton on Thursday night, February 1,
and is numbered as one of the most pleasant events of the season. A
large host of friends numbering about seventy were present, each
bringing a good supply of eatables. Miss Mary Taylor, in a neat speech,
presented Mr. King with a lovely rocker and $3.40, recalling to his mind
the pleasant relations existing between him and the community and the
high esteem in which he is held by his friends and neighbors. Mr. King
has lived here all his life and his many friends regret to see him go
from their midst. They wish him and his young wife, who went to Kansas
a month ago, nothing but good luck in their new home.

DIDN'T NEED SO MANY ROOMS
Sioux City Tribune: William Bloom and Miss Belle Porter came down from
Tripp, S.D., yesterday, dressed in their Sunday clothes. They registered at
the Mondamin, Mr. Bloom taking room 214 and Miss Porter being assigned to
room 210. They had dinner together and later went away from hotel for a
walk. About supper time they came back arm in arm, and Mr. Bloom went up to
the desk and said, rather sheepishly, to Clerk Cornell: "I guess we won't
need both of those rooms tonight, Mr. Clerk, You can put us both in 214."
Mr. Cornell started back in astonishment and confusion, when Mr. Bloom broke
in: "We-we-e've just been married, you know." The blushing bride clung
coyly to her husband's arm and was lived to the upper floor in the elevator
and her belongings were bundled into room No. 214.
The young people have lived in Plymouth county for many years and their
friends here will congratulate them on their marriage.
