DRIPTION ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
Fresh air is plentiful and costs
Nothing, but some people fail to
get what they need of it.
More rain is said to be needed.
The ground was so dry when the
rains did come that the moist-
ure was soon taken up by the veg-
etation and at this time of the
year much rain is needed.
The wheat crop in this section
was cut short by the drouth
early in the year but the good
price for what is raised will help
to off set the loss.
When a business man buys
space in the Record he gets just
what he calls for; if a quarter or
half page is called for that is what
is given. The space is not doubl-
ed just to till up. as that is not
what we want the ad for. it is a
business proposition. When a
customer goes to a store and
buys a sack of Hour the merchant
does not give two sacks just in
order to get rid of his goods
Democratic Bob Williams, of
C-umby announces that he will
be a candidate for governor again
if Tom Campbell announces for
the third term If he and Tom
Campbell are the only candidates
we will scratch Campbell. Not
because we are for the old Black
smith, but because we want
Campbell defeated.

It would be a great thing for
Clifton if the citizens would get
together at an early date and
build a tabernacle on a convenient
lot in the city to be used for re-
ligious services by all churches
and other public affairs that
would be more pleasant in the
air during the hot summer
months. The town needs this.
Let’s hear from all who art'inter-
ested.

One of the moat brilliant of
these was solemnized in the
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs.
P. E. Schow on last Wednesday
evening, June 9 at 9 o’clock,
when Miss Ruby Quest became
the bride of Morris T. Bron*
a tad.
Sweet simifftcity and artistic
Arrangement characterized all
the decorations. Snowy cape
jessamines were used in abund-
ance throughout the spacious
parlors. Between the colonial
pillars separating the large re-
ception hall from the drawing
room ropes of arbor vitae were
draped and garlands of the green
minglhd with the snowy jasmines
entwined while from the centre
of the arch was suspended the
wedding bell covered with the
same waxen petals and green
leaves, the soft glow of lights and
the sweet fragrance of the flow-
ers combining to make it a scene
of indescribable lovliness and a
perfect setting for the radiant
young bride in her gown of white
liberty satin, and the excellent
young man to whom she has
pledged her troth.
At the appointed hour the brid-
al chorus from Lohengrin, sung
sung by Mrs. J. W. Butler, Miss
Lena Townsend, J. W. Butler
and G. D. Griinland rang through
the house and the bridal couple
preceded by little Miss Zenobia
Schow, the ring bearer, carrying
a basket of daisies and strewing
them in the path of the bride, de-
scended the stair, taking their
places under the wedding bell,
where the words uniting their
lives for all the years to come
were pronounced beautifully and
impressively by Rev P EThorson
pastor of the bride and groom,
the triumphant measures of the
Mendlesshon Wedding March
being played during congratula-
tions. V
After the ceremony a recep-
tion was held. Several musical
selections were rendered by M rs.
J. W. Butler and the Misses
Townsend.
During the arrival of the
guests the rollicking measures
of the phonograph tided the air;
and punch was served from the
cut glass bowl in the hall by
Miss Leah Townsend and Mrs.
Conrad Bronstad.
