The Kansas sailed yesterday on its long cruise around the Horn. It was the first of the fleet to start — Kansas in the lead as usual. A safe and a fair voyage to the good old ship!
Lyons vs Marion
The closing foot ball game of the season, put up by the Lyons and Marion elevens on Thanksgiving Day, was a good one. The visitors were in fine fettle and marched out to the grounds with the air of one who is willing to do the best there is in him to win on merit, and they had the good will of all at the kick off.
It did not take long to see that the teams were well matched, although at no time during the time of play was Marion's goal in danger.
Lyons' team work was good, while the Marion team did better individual work and their line bucks seldom failed.
There was a number of good rushes made but could not be worked through for a touchdown, as was shown by the score at the end of the second half, neither side having scored.
The playing was fast from the referee's whistle to the call of time and was a good game all around, pronounced the best seen in Marion for several years.
Evans — Smith
At 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Nov. 28, to the strains of the Lohengrin Bridal Chorus played by Miss Iva McCollom, Miss Gertrude Evans, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Evans of Hoosier Twp., Kingman Co., Ks., and Mr. Lee Roy Smith of Lincolnville, Ks., took their places under a large white wedding bell in the parlor of the bride's beautiful country home and Rev. A. W. Cummings, pastor of First M.E. church of Kingman, spoke the solemn words that united them in holy wedlock. The rooms were tastefully decorated the color scheme being blue and white. The bride was dressed in white pongee silk, trimmed in over-lace. The groom was dressed in black.
After the ceremony the guests sat down to a bountiful supper, and late in the afternoon departed for their homes wishing Mr. and Mrs. Smith a long, happy and prosperous wedded life.
The happy pair were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith will be at home to their friends, after December 4, at Lincolnville, Kansas.
On Friday night about 40 of the neighbors showered them with tinware and spent a delightful evening, returning to their homes at a late hour.
Their host of friends wish them God speed.

It is very pleasing to note the popularity of the new court house for holding public gatherings. The goddess of justice had hardly been installed in the building until the housewarming began. Good cheer and good fellowship and good things to eat have about become synonymous terms with the court house. The ladies of the Christian church laid a dandy spread in the basement on Thanksgiving day and from the way the people traveled in that direction about dinner time there was no guessing about the popularity of the national bird, the turkey. The eagle, oh yes, well, he's too flighty, screams so easily, that the people are willing to cast their lot with turkey. And then the ladies of the Presbyterian church held a bazaar and served supper — another festival of good things. Didn't you think? Everybody said so.
A band of gypsy fortune tellers were in town last Saturday. They received small encouragement and seemed rather disgusted at the apparently satisfied condition of the people, for very few cared to have their fortunes told.
Mr. Chas. Phillips has surrendered his lease on the Elgin Hotel to the owner, W.H. Wheelock and in the future the house will be run under their management, which means that the traveling public and all who call at the Elgin will be courteously treated and well taken care of.
Several inquiries have been made the past few days regarding the installation of the court house clock and E.F. Sheldon & Son, the local firm through whom the purchase was made, say it will be put in about March 1, 1908.
S. Schoneman, the shoe man, has installed a sewing machine for sewing boots and shoes, doing the work as good and quicker than by hand.
O.C. Billings has fitted up the west window corner of the P.O. Book Store with a Hot Soda Fountain outfit. This is the first one in town and no doubt will be appreciated when the chilly wintry winds begin to blow.
