On Wednesday of last weel Col Burns, sister Miss Lida and daughter Minnie, bid adieu to Wichita countyand lier nl( i on the midnight train, with San Jose, California, as their destination. We hated to see them go, for surely we lost some of our county's most prominent and widely known people.

Col, Burns came to this county in 1890 from Kidder, previous to his removal there he lived in New York state. The Colonel, as he was familiarly I nown to us all, came here while Leoti was at her best, and stayed with us duiing these intervening ears, and all the time he played an important part, in trying to better the interests of the county, always rominent in the political affairs of ihe county, and striving for its intellectual development. Four times has he served the people of his county as County Attorney, and during these eight years the interests of the county were well taken care of. Prominent as a mem-1 er of the Grand Army of the Republic, he will be sorely missed by his comrades. For the past two years Mr.

Burns 8 been in feeble health, as also his sister, and this was the incentive for the, removal to their far western Lome. It is our hope that they may their lost health an( be leased with their new home. The best wishes of this community go with them. At Pueblo they were met by G. A.

Williams and family, all going to San Jose to make their future home. their daughter, Corle Virginia, to Mr. James E. Fox, of Hoisington, Promptly at two thirty p. m.

the bride and groom, preceeded by the minister, entered the room where the guests were seated. Here Rev Frame, in an impressive manner, performed the beautiful ceremony that united them as man and wife. After those present had extended their best wishes and heartiest con gratulations to the bride and groom, the guests, led by Mr. and Mrs, James E. Fox, passed into the din ing room, where an elegant wedding dinner of many courses was delight' fully served by Misses Norma and Lucy Cook.

The bride, beautifully dressed in a chic traveling gown of maple brown cloth worn with a stylish waist of ecru silk, presented a most attractive picture. Attired in a handsome business suit of black, the groom made a splendid appearance. The number of elegant presents received by the young couple, at tested the high esteem in which they were held by their friends With their baggage artistically dec orated writh old shoes, and amid a shower of rice, the recen'Jy married couple boarded the "flyer" for a trip to Ohio, where theywill visit among relatives till they form definite plans for their future. 'fliniiksyl ving- Pay At iiiliili The people of this neighborhood to the number of fifty-three congregated at the Beulah church last Thursday for the purpose of cele brating Thanksgiving together, and to render thanks unto him who had, during the past year, bestowed his bountiful blessings upon us. Of course there was everything good to eat which a prosperous county could supply.

Words would fail us if ve should attempt to de scribe this Western Kansas Thanksgiving dinner, so we will not try. After the dinner was cleared away we listened to some inspiring music, and to suitable recitations by the children of Mrs. Roberts' school, and a splendid address by Jlev. Wiggins. His text was "In everything give thanks." Rev.

Wiggins portrayed to us our unappreciative-ness of the blessings poured out upon us, and we realized that we had much to be thankful for this year in Wichita county. All went td their homes feeling it had been good to be there, and thankful for Thanksgiving day. OXE WHO WIS THERE. Paying Patrons Since Our Last Issue. Benj.
