It may be a little late to announce it, but we wish to say that
the home of our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. H. King, jr., is
gladdened by the advent of a little Miss, who sought their loving
protection for the next score of years on Monday, Nov. 20. We
unintentionally let this item slip us last week.
Messrs. G. W. and T. W. Coolidge received the sad intelligence
Tuesday morning, that their mother, living at Denver, Col., was
dangerously sick, with but slight chance of recovery. Mr. G. W.
Coolidge left on the noon train for her bedside.

It is a little late in the season for son-stroke, but that is
what is the matter with Frank Barr. It happened last Friday, the
13th of December. The son is an average bundle of humanity, and
Frank is up most all hours of the day looking after the young
man's interests.

Schaller, Iowa, on the evening of Dec. 25, 1893, Mr. C. W. Sipes,
of Adrian, Minn., to Miss Jane M. Kyle, Elder S. J. Phillips, of

enjoyable affair throughout. The pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs.

and groom conducted themselves in the most approved fashion.
The wedding super consisted of almost everything good to eat, to
