Linton5received a letter from Elmer Garrison Wednesday at Kansas City, Kansas, stating that his father, F. P. Garrison, died at the family home there Sunday evening at 9:30. The cause of death was not given, but it was perhaps from stomach trouble, from which he had been afflicted for a long time. He was about 60 years of age, and leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his death.

Interment was made in the cemetery at Kansas City. -John Ohrt's house east of the city burned down Sunday forenoon while Mr. and Mrs. Ohrt were at church. The fire was seen first from the Bassett home just east of there who gave the alarm and went to the fire as quickly as possible, but when they arrived the house was falling in and nothing was saved.

Within two hours the house was completely destroyed. Mr. Ohrt knew nothing of the fire until he met a neighbor about one and one-half miles east of his farm at 1 o'clock when they were returning from church. The four children were at home at the time of the fire, but fortunately they were playing out in the pasture and they knew nothing of the fire, the cause of which is yet unknown. Mr.

Ohrt estimated the value of his house about $1,200 and the furniture $650, with $600 insurance on the house' by the North American.

HITCH--LEHMAN-On the 14th of August, 1912, by W. B. Crawford, justice of the peace, Mr. William Crawford Hitch, of Girard, and Miss Nita Pearl Lehman, of Kansas City, Mo. This wedding, being in no way.

a swell affair, was at the same time rather out of the ordinary from the fact that almost the entire assembly was composed of -mothers, fathers, grandfathers, and grandmothers, there being eight present, composed of the following persons: Mr. and Mrs. Will S. Hitch, father and mother of the groom; Mr. and Mrs.

Lehman, parents of the bride; W. B. Crawford and wife, grandfather and grandmother of the groom; Mr. and Mrs. O.

G. Hitch, grandparents of the groom. And for fear that some one outside would meddle in this family affair the venerable grandfather, W. B. Crawford, cast aside his weight of almost fourscore years, arose before the smiling couple and, vested with the authority of the state of Kansas, proceeded in a solemn and impressive manner to wield the legal-faced hammer that fastened the last link in the matrimonial chain that should lastingly bind their happy hearts and glad hands together.

After all had extended congratulations the company sat down to the wedding supper, which was elegant and abundant. This couple needs no introduction to this community, the groom having been born and come up among us. He has hosts of friends whom he has won through his kind, quiet, unassuming ways and sterling integrity. His untiring industry and, close attention to business long ago took off the burdens and assumed responsibilities of one of much riper years. As for the bride, although not long a resident of Girard, she has by her vivacious and lovable nature made many friends, and those who know her best love her most.

The couple began housekeeping at once, and are now occupying one of W. P. Dorman's new houses on South Cherokee street. RIGRO -In Radley, August 14th, 1912, Dafenio, son of Mr. and Mrs.

A. H. Morrison officiating. She was active in Sunday school and club work, and a good musician. Obituary next week.

MADILL- -Near Ashdown, Aug. 149124 of malaria Ruth Madill, aged and 11 months. Ruth Madill was born in Crawford county, near McCune. Died of Arkansas malaria August 13th, 1912. She was the youngest of seven children.
