Mr. Alvin Mull and Miss Orella Klin-ger were married at i5 o'clock last Sabbath evening, Rev. Watts performing the ceremony out at the home of the bride's parents, seven miles south-west of Ashland. This young couple are well and favorably known in this community, and a host, of friends will join the Leader in wishing for them a long, happy married life. They will occupy their handsome new residence, which Mr.

Mull has just completed and furnished, in the northwest part of the city. Clark county gains one more good farmer, and his family, as will be seen from the following which appeared in the Sawyer News of last week: This locality has lost three excellent families this week, by the removal of George Long, and of Harve and Joe Brubaker, to their new homes further west. Mr. Long goes to Clark county, where he haA bought 480 acres of rich, second bottom land, about six miles west of Ashland. The land is unimproved, and having been detained here by sickness and death of his son, at Liberal, he will be unable to put out much wheat this year.

Harve Brubaker goes to Gray county, north of Ingalls, while Joe has located a little further north, in Finney county. They shipped their goods in cars, and drove through. Last Sunday was Rally Day at the M. E. Church here and a most interesting program was carried out.

The singing at the morning service wag by persons who had passed the age of 50 years. They sang those good old Methodist hymns they used to sing when they were girls and boys, 40 or 50 years ago. Of the different ministers who have officiated in the church ASH LAM) WINS expect to improve the character of the aunday at the brides home, contents of its columns. Just watch I E. W.

Last year they adopted the following song as the "official hymn" of the association, which they all sing in chorus. We print it to day as an inspiration to those of us who are in- clined to growl a little bit, and to show how those who have gone, appreciate the bountiful land of Kansas. I Kansas. How dear to our hearts is the old State of Kansas: Her prairies and swift rolling mr, Th. gentle zephyrs, the bright sunsets.

Ho 't we behold them once more in c1 dreams. The ioud peeling thunder, the lightning's quick flashes, The black threatening cloud which came up in the west, Then pellmell to the cellar, the safe cyclone cellar, Away we all ran, you and I and the rest. When we all lived in Kansas, The great State of Kansas, I The fair State of Kansas, The Quean of the West. How well we remember the bright blooming flowers; The delicate sunflower and sensitiye rose. The broad stately cornfields, the pumpkins and squashes, In the rich State of Kansas where everything grows, The little red school house that stood in tne corner, On some quarter section of unbroken sod, Where little Jayhawkers learned lessons of wisdom By the aid of a book and a Cottonwood rod.

Where we all lived in Kansas, The great State of Kansas, Where our barns were of straw And our houses of sod. How it snowed, how it blowed, how it froze in the winter, When the blizzard came down with a rush and a roar, How we tied up our eais with an old fashioned muffler And declared it was elder than ever before; But now far aA-ay from her clouds and her sunshine We pledge her our feality and hearty good will, And day in year we'll devote to her memory For with all of her fault the is dear to us still, Then three cheers for Kansas, For loyal old Kansas With all her faults he is dear to us still.

The features of the game was the hard hitting of the entire Ashland team, the double play of C. Wallingford and Taylor and the pitching of Earl Wallingford, who has been playing first base for the home team.

Ed. Abel, who is Ashland's pitcher, failed to show up eo thought as they hs started would give E. Wallingford a try out. Wallingford proved a wonder in the pitching line as he only allowd Coa a four hits and struck out thirteen men. Coats used three pitch ers, trying to stop Ashlands' hard hitting but without any effect.

Coats hr the best team in this section of the country, as most cf their team have played proffessional ball. Ashland is proud that they won the game and by uch a score. This is the first game As' land has won from Coats in their xse ball history. The score: 1 COATS AB 11 PO A Ilorney 5 11 (J 0 Noble 2b-c 5 3 111 W. Clancy c-jss 5 Freeman ss-2b 4 C.

Watts. Miss Waneta Ross and Mrs. Watts had charge of the affair and a very pleasant time was had by all who participated. The west bound express on this branch of the Santa re don seem to make any pretention of getting along on time any more. They just come at "any old from a half to two and a half or three hours late.

Our dealers are doing a big business these days in fence wire. Farmers are evidently doing a large amount of fencing this season. What with fonc- ing their new alfalfa fields and pastures they are finding use for lots of wire and posts. During the past three years Rev. Watts joined marriage, thirty-seven couples, resident of Clark county.

This breaks the record, he having solemnized more marriages in the county in that time than any other minister or ollici I C. A. I'lalfS, dean of the Winfield College, has not resigned his position with that institution, as reported short time ago, but continues through the present year and perhaps longer, i This will be welcome news to patrons of the college. Through an invitation extended by Mr. and Mrs.

R. N. Molyneux, ye editor and wife were enabled one day the fore part of the week to witness a genuine roundud-up of cattle, on the Molyneux ranch, six miles west of the city. The round-up commenced in the morning and was not completed until near one o'clock, after which the cowboys, together with the editor and wife, were provided with an elegant dinner at the ranch homestead. Fried young chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, lemon pie, home grown peaches, cake, cream, coffee, composed a part of the menu on this occasion; and those who sat down to the table did ample justice to the feast.

They were all hungry, as "rounding-up and cutting out" a couple of car loads of cattle from a herd of over five hundred is r.oeasy job. We enjoyed the occasion hugely and hope it will not bo the last one of the kind we will have the pleasure of Mrs. Coran went to Medford, Okla. yesterday. Miss Pearl Osborne is visiting at Protection this week.

Dr. H. H. Miner went to Wichita yesterday morning. Attorney W.

Several loads of building material left hore for the vicinity of Minneola, this week, R. Molyneux expects to ship two car loads of fat cattle to Kansas City next Monday.

Vernon Baker and Sidney Grimes will attend school the coming term at Salina, Kansas. County surveyor Mac-key returned home from a surveying expedition in Comanche county last Tuesday evening. Earl Wallingford will attend schooi at Winfield the coming term. He expects to leave for that city Monday. Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas, mother and father of one of our city barbers, iu'-rived here last Wednesday evening for a visit with their children. These cool mornings, caute one to think that the time is close at hand when "The frost is on the pumkin, and the fodder's in the shock." The services at the Presbyterian Church next Sunday evening will be in charge of the Christian Endeavor Society and will begin promptly at eight o'clock. J. B.

Miller Minervu O. R. Farrar Indiana State Band here during tne past zu years, six responded with interesting letters which were read on this occasion. Letters were also read from Governor Hoch, the mayor of Wichita, andothers. The day was full of interest throughout.

The telephone has brought us many inquiries relative to the day of issue of the Leader, and also requests for sample copies. We have endeavored to comply with the wishes of inquirers in every instance and hope we have succeeded. The mails to some portions of the countv have to make a very round-about trip in reaching destination, which is anything but pleasant for the reader or for the publisher. We understand there is a strong effort being made to build a phone line connecting Beaver, Oklahoma, with Ashland and intermediate points. Such a line would be a great convenience for the people in the "strip," as well as of material benefit to the business interests of Ashland.

We hope to see the line completed, and that too, at an early date. A tin-shower charivari party called on Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Mull, the newly married, Monday evening. The party were treated sumptously by the bride and groom, the latter conveying the entire party to the Bon Ton restaurant where they feasted on good things.

Useful articles of tin were presented to the happy couple in great profusion. Porter Seacat, one of the leading and prosperous farmers of Clark county, who lives out in the Bluir creek neighborhood, presented this office with a fine watermelon last Saturday, it weighi 40 pounds und was just the Kwictcst and lust ever. The office force join in extending their thanks to Mr. Seacat. The J.

II. Clay Lumber Co. has been kept en the keen jump this filling orders for nuterial that goes into the country. If their business continues to grow at tne rate it Has been for the last month they will soon have to secure more yard room and more help to do the work. The Ashland Cornet band furnished very excellent music, between Acts for the Mrs.

Jarley Wax Works entertainment at the Opera house last Friday evening. And in this connection the Leader wishes to say that the citizens of Ashland should see to it that this band receive a more liberal support in the future than it has received in the past. Give the boys more encouragement. A good band is a fine thing "for a city like Ahland. We should hear more of their music than we do.

II. .1. Iliaii' a Winner The following item taken from the associated press dispatches, dated at Topeka, one day laHt week, will proba bly interest many Ashland citizens: J. Bone of Topeka scored a decided victory in the federal court here when a jury this morning brought in a verdict of guilty against the eleven defendants in the lost Bullion mines case. Mr.

Bone prosecuted the case on behalf of the government, the charge bo-ing using the mails to defraud. lriends. Mr. Woodward was formerly Santa Fe agent at this place. Miss Madge Murphy returned last Friday from a several weeks visit to Colorado.

She was the guest of Miss Blanch Weldon, at Denver, for quite a while during her stay in the mountain state. Statements of the condition of the Citizens State Bank and the Englewood State Bank appear elsewhere in this issue of the Leader. Both these banks are in fine condition and are building up a lucrative business. The new cement street crossings that have been put in lately add much to the good looks of the streets and will prove great convenience to our people, especially during the muddy spells that occ'r in this locality.

This gives them a room for an enlarged kitchen, increases the size of their dining room. he Blacks are doing a nice trade, their bus iness having increased wonderfully during the last few weeks. The comet was viewed Tuesday morning by a crowd of young folks, consisting of Misses Blanch Evens, Ruby and Mary Ravenscraft und Messrs.

Earl Wallingford, Vernon Baker, Johnie Stevens and Paul Carson, who met at the Ravenscraft home at the early hour of 4 o'clock. Afterwards agameof tennis, and breakfast with Mrs. Ravenscraft. The entertainment at the Opera hall last Friday evening, at which Mrs. Jarley presented her wax figures, was one of the best shows ever given in Ashland.

Homo talent, to be sure, but each and every performer acted his or her part to perfection. The entire company should have the most unstint ed praise from our whole community, and especially would the Leader mon-tion Mis. Jarley as being a person of much more than ordinary ability as an actress. Taken all in all it was a fine entertainment and a credit to those taking part in it. We understand the net receipts amounted to which will ba used for the benofit of the Library and Gymnasium Association.
