Marion has landed a plant from Seymour Packing Co. The company will begin erection of the building as soon as plans can be perfected. This is the biggest piece of town-interest news that has developed for a long time.

The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs had possession of the town Tuesday, and it was a fine, good-natured crowd. It was a meeting of the Marion District Association.

An auto tail lamp was found by Fred Stenzel the other day in the road in front of his place. The owner can get the lamp at this office.

The track team from Marion High School took first place in a district meet Saturday afternoon at Emporia and came home with another supply of medals and cups for the trophy cabinet.

Nora Travelute, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.M. Travelute of Lincolnville, and Chancey Novak of Lost Springs were united in marriage May 2, the ceremony being performed at St. John’s Catholic Church at Herington in the presence of about 25 invited guests.

The junior class of the high school gave a reception and banquet for the senior class Wednesday evening at the Masonic Hall. It was probably the most elaborate affair ever given on a similar occasion, considering the details of decorations, program, gowns, and menu. A splendid five-course banquet was served, after which toasts were given.
