VOL. 6. NO 34 Jones-Burns The union of two of Lebo's most popular young people in the holy bonds of wedlock took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. F.

Burns, Wednesday evening of this week, when Miss Ethel Burns and Mr. Jake J. Jones were so joined by Rev. L. A.

Rorick in a pretty but simple ceremony. Promptly at seven o'clock, the appointed hour, the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Ida Bethke, floated thru the house and the bridal couple, preceded by Rev. Rorick par ted the curtains of the double door and entered the parlor, where the contracting parties took their places under a canopy of lace and the minister joined them together as husband and wife. The bride was dressed in white and looked her prettiest. She wore a large white rose on her bosom.

The groom was dressed in black and looked his best. He also wore a rose. After the ceremony congratulations were showered upon the newlyweds by the witnesses It was a quiet home wedding with the relatives as witnesses. The wedding supper was served in the double dining room and was served by the Misses Gwendoline, Hazel and Myrtle Lewis and Pearl Pickens as waitresses. A social hour was spent by the guests and they departed for their homes wishing the happy couple all the happiness and prosperity possible.

The bride, Miss Ethel Burns, was born and has grown to womanhood in Lebo, she has attended and graduated from the Lebo High School and is an accomplished musician. She is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Burns and is a charming young woman. She is loved and respected by the community.

The groom, everybody knows as Jake Jones, is the son of Mrs. John A. Jones and was born on a farm north of Lebo and has spent his past life in this community. He is an industrious young man and one, who to know him is to like him and be his friend. For the present Mr, and Mrs.

Jones will make their home in Lebo but Jake will rent a farm and farm next year. The Star joins their host of friends in extending congratulations and best wishes for a long, happy and prosperous wedded life. Yes, I am still making Farm Loans at Lowest Rates.

Saueressig. Santa Fe's Disgrace Sure Enough Instead of a steam train night and morning on this line the Santa Fe is running the motor car with a combination mail and baggage car as a trailer, and as yet this outfit has not been on time and probably will never be. This has been termed the "dinky," the "'bobtail," the "jigger," the "'Santa Fe's Disgrace," the polliwog" and various other titles that convey contempt. One man at the depot Sunday night when the thing made its first trip said it reminded him of the train service on some little old dinky road in a country where no one lives. The motor is a respectable looking car as it makes the trip alone in the afternoon, but when it goes thru in the morning and night with trailer, it certainly is the limit or rather the tail end of the limit.

The question seems to be are the people on this line of the Santa Fe compelled to be satisfied with this kind of train service. If not who will take the lead to take the matter up with the utilities commission, where we believe an order would be sent to the company to give decent service. How long will the "'Santa Fe's Disgrace" still continue to disgrace the company and the good towns along its line? Masons Take Notice The regular annual meeting of Lebo Lodge No. 152 A. F.

A. M. will be held on Friday night Dec. 19. There will be two F.

Torrance, W. M. E. R. Evans, Sec.

The Star would suggest to those who do not feel satisfied with the present train service, that a petition to Mr. Connell, G. P. A. T.

requesting that No. 8 be stopped here for Kansas City passengers and No. 7 be stopped for Colorado and California passengers. By not asking too much the petition may be granted. It is plain to see that the Santa Fe is endeavoring to do away with the local stops for the heavy trains Mrs.

May Jones came down from Manhattan Wednesday evening for the Jones-Burns nuptials. In the absence of Rev. Funston at the bed side of his mother, Rev. Rorick came up from Hamilton and performed the Jones- Burns wedding ceremony. A ARE Christmas Al The Furniture Store The Useful Presents Are Found Here.
