Presi- dent J. A. Vandyke of Coleraine urges the business men of Grand Rapids in particular to lay aside other duties for that day and take the noon train to Deer River. The meeting held at Coleraine in November was the best and most fruitful of any ever held in ple process of walking off with it when no one was looking. He was arrested and brought to this city where he served 90 days. Soon after his release, Roecker’s tailor shop was broken into and a suit of clothes stolen. Lafons’ con- fectionery store was burglarized and a quantity of goods was stolen about the same time, and suspi- cion pointed strongly to Lansing. the county. An effort will be made to excell the Coleraine effort at Deer River. The new officers are energetic and enthusiastic in their work and have already succeeded in creating unusual interest among all classes of citizens in the gen- eral movement to advance the coun- ty’s material welfare. The people of Itasca, county. are awakening to the fact that communities, no more than corn, will grow: without the proper cultivation. The’ first thing necessary in community cul- tivation is the “getting-together” spirit. But that’s only the plowing. Seeding must follow, with proper care and then the harvest. Villages, cities, counties, states and sec- tions comprised of many states have found it necessary to do the work that Itasca county is now be- ginning, before real prosperity came their way. The proper ef- fort will bring the desired results. There will be at least two more similar gatherings, the last of the series to be at Grand Rapids, for which special attractions will be offered in the way of prominent speakers on the program. The program arranged for the Deer River meeting is as follows: Asternoon Session, 2:30 O'clock. High School Gymnasium. 4 Good Roads, The Settler's Need. .. J. M.

When his room at a local hotel was searched, he was found to have in his possession four pairs of new pants, one dozen pairs of buckskin mittens, a number of overalls, some. candles. and a whetstone. He ex- plains his possession of these ar- ticles by saying that a farmer for whom he had worked in Dakota has given him the articles in lieu of cash. Wedded in the West. Acopy of the Yamhill, (Ore.,) Ree- ord reached the Herald-Review sanc- tum this week, which gives an ac- count of the marrange of Miss Flora Mae Moore to Mr. Byron B. Shook at the home of the bride’s parents at Yamhill on December 17. The bride’s parents are Mr and Mrs. W. G. Moore, formeriy residents ot Cohasset, where Mr. Moore was engaged in the saw mill business. He was also one of Itasca county’s commissioners from district No. ‘Two. The announcement causes the Herald-Review to reflect that George Moore is getting to be an old fellow. It seems only a little while ago that Flora was a wee girl—and now she’s married. How the years do fly! Well our best wish is that the bride’s day will be as full of sunshine as her father’s has been and only the bright side of life will ‘be visible to her as time goes on. Our old friend Moore could find fun in any sort of calamity from a man- gled arm to a “busted” saw mill, or a “lagaroo” oufitt with an early thaw. They all looked alike to him, and we imagine he hasn’t changed much, notwithstanding his extreme old-age. The fololwing is taken from the Yamhill Record: “A quiet wedding was solemniz- ed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Moore, at Yamhill on Tues- day, December 17, at high noon when their eidest daughter, Flora Mae, was united in the bonds of holy matrimony to Mr. Byron Baker Shuck. The bride was dressed in pale blue chiffon over white net trimmed in pink rose buds and blue forget-me-nots. She was attended by Miss Ethel Huteheroft, who wore a cream messaline trimmed with point lace. The groom was dressed in navy blue and attended by Frank Moore. “The bride Has been stenograpn- er for the Reliance Lumber com- pany for the past five years and has proved her faithfulness to all.
