Cream Separators We have got what we have been looking for. Some­thing to compete with the DeLaval Separator. Some time ago we were deprived of the agency for the De-Laval by very "peculiar" methods. Now we have one that is constructed in the bowl exactly like the De-Laval. It has 39 separate discs. This machine has the advantage over all others in that it runs on ball

bearings. Its name is the Empire Disc.

iJ Listen And we can sell it in the same capacities at $15.00 less than the De Laval machines sell for. This new won-

> der is fully tested and warranted.

Rice—Clark Marriage Miss Lulu Clark and Fred Rice

were married Wednesday evening at the home of the groom's parents, ,S3r. and Mrs. H. G. Ilicp, Rev. Muhiioth of Audubon officiating. Soon after the ceremony, a score ot daring sere-naders crashed into the silence of the night, like ten thousand wailing cats. In order to restore the sweet quiet t bat generally envelopes such an event, FrecLwas-compelled to pro-" duce and treat the boys right,—but that's nothing, Fred will treat every­body right, even his wife—

Oh! fjentle breeze pick up their boat Ami send it o'er life's sea afloat; Just send them now and then a wave, To make them closer cling, and brave.

Alt—Hays Nuptials William Alt of near Audubon and

Miss Nina Hays, daughter of Frew Ilayes and wife of Greeley township were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at the beautiful home ot the bride's parents, Wednesday, February 26, 1908, Rev. Cros* of the Union Baptist church officiating.

The bride is an accomplished young lady, loved by all. She was born

andj grew to womanhood in the wholesome atmosphere of Rose Hill Farm, which was also the icene of her union with Mr. Alt. She has done much good in this world as a successful school teacher aud au ac­tive Christian lady. When this stalwart tiller of the earth leads her away to be his helpmate in one ot the noblest callings that ever occu­pied man, there will be a painful vacancy in east Greeley so -.iety. It is sufficient to sav of the groom that reports make him in evervway wor­thy of this flower he ha* plucked trom Rose Hill Farm.

This happy couple will begin their wedded career on the old Alt home-st«ad iu Hamlin township—

We saw them follow hand in hauil, Into the battle smoke;

This ensitjn lloatinn in the breeze— "Upon you take my yoke."

Qiven Up To Die

B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia St., Evansviile, Ind., writes: "For over five years I was troubled with kidneys and bladder affections which caused me much paiu and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year age had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was practically gi­ven up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure waa recommended and the first bottle gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I was entirely cured." Why not let it help you?—Nick Dof­fing.
