PRETTY HOME WEDDING.
The Marriage of Albert Truax,of Wisconsin, and Miss Maud Eliza Odell, of This City, is Solemnized Wednesday.
Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. McMains, on southWalnut street,occurred the marriage oft Mr. Albert Truax, of Osseo, Wis., and Miss Maude Eliza Odell, of this city.t At half past eight o'clock about one hundred guests were assembled and few minutes later Byron Hughes began the strains of the Mendelssohn wedding march, to which the bride and groom unattended, descended the front stairs and passed into the west parlor, where they were met by the officiating clergyman, Rev. N. C. McCay. The party took their stand under a canopy of smilax tied with white satin bows and banked with potted plants and palms. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white mull trimmed with lace and ruffles, high neck and long sleeves, and carried brides' roBes. The ceremony was an abridged form of the Episcopalian service and was simple and impressive, and upon its conclusion the bridal party led the way to the dining room, where elegant refreshments were served, the attendants being Misses Ella Reeves and Caroline Eller. The decorations here were handsome and elaborate, smilax, ferns, cut flowers and broad bands of white 6atin ribbon being used with a charming effect. The souvenirs were small sprays of smilax, tied with tiny satin bows. After the menu had been served the bride and groom returned to the reception rooms where they received the congratulations of their friends. In a dainty booth in the corner of the large hall delicious punch was served by two little misses, and in the hall upstairs were displayed the presents to the bride, which included many pretty pieces of china, cut glass and silverware, testifying to the esteem in which Mrs. Truax is held by her many friends.
Mr. Truax holds a responsible position with the Chicago & Northwestern at Osseo, Wis., but was originally a resident of this county, bt7.Bg been born and lived for many years at Alamo. He is a gentleman of many sterling qualities and has won for his bride a young lady of splendid attributes of mind and heart. Mr. and Mrs. Truax left on Thursday for a visit south with friends, and will be at home to their friends at Osseo, Wis., where the groom has a home already furnished for their occupancy, after Nov. l6t.

Will Come From Lafayette.
The Lafayette Courier contains an excellent advance notice of the Crawfordsville street fair advertising train and says: "This is the cleverest method of advertising that has come to light and is original with Crawfordsville. A great many Lafayette people will attend the affair and one of those prominently connected with the enterprise states to-day that Crawfordsville expects fully 40,000 strangers to.visit the city. Barring accident the 'boom' delegation will reach Lafayet* tomorrow."
Wouldn't I'lead.

BOOMING THE FAIR.
The Advertising Train on the Motion Starts Out Karly on Thursday and Carries With It a Large and
Knthusiastic Ho!l.
Thursday morning at half past seven o'clock the street fair advertising train pulled out of the Monon station and started south. The programme was to run as far south as Bloomington, stopping at Ladoga, Bainbridge, Greencastle, Roachdale, Cloverdale, Stinesville, Gosport and, perhaps, one or two other places. At each town a parade was to be made and after the stop at Bloomington the train be started back. Crawfordsville being reached at half past four, Lafayette was also visited.
There were several hundred people at the station when the time came to start, including the band and about forty members of Company fully armed. There were all sorts of good banners and devices and nothing omitted to make the purpose of the excursion effective in the right way. Since the train left word has been received from a number of places visited, •nd everywhere a decided hit was made. The procession was about four blocks long and was strong enough to capture any town on the Monon. Everywhere a cordial weluome was given the boys and the street fair was advertised in a manner at once unique and well.
A Magnificent Publication Upon the South-
The wonderful progress which the south has been making in all lines of industrial, commercial and intellectual development has been most fittingly set forth in a magnificent volume, which, after months of careful preparation, has juRt been issued by the Southern Railway.
This book, the title of which, "The Emiire of the South," conveys an idea of Its character, is beyond question on* of the most comprehensive and at the same time artistic publications ever issued from the press. It contains nearly two hundred octave pages, over four hundred exquisitely printed iU'.strations, and^ makes a presents t'loii of southern interests in' all lines of human activity, which for thoroughness of treatment has never been approached.
The opening chapter of the book under the caption of "The South, Yesterday, To-Day and To-Morrow," discusses in a broad and forcible manner the present and future of the southern Btates, treating at considerable length the various interests, such as agriculture, cotton, tobacco, iron, coal, resorts, climate, etc. Following this are chapters devoted to each of the states south of the Ohio and Potomac, and

The following are the dates for Congressman Landis' speeches in this county:
of the Mississippi rivers.
These give a brief, interesting sketch of the early history of each state, and then touch upon all its important activities, showing the progress being made not only by the state itself, but by the leading cities.
The author of the work, Mr. Frank Presbrey, is a close student of southern progress, and in the collection and prepartion of the immense amount of important information given in the book, has had the co-operation of the officials of the Southern Railway. The distribution of this magnificent volume will do an incalculable amount of practical good in calling the attention of the world to the south, and the Southern Railway has demonstrated its faith in the future of that section by the expenditure of the many thousands of dollars which this great work muBt have cost.
The Carpetbagger.
In these days of complete fraternization between the uorth and the south no dramatic effort which 6eeks to perpetuate the sectional rancor of a generation ago can hope for general acceptance. Tim Murphy's new play, by Opie Read and Frank S. Pixley, though its title "The Carpetbagger" might suggest both political and sectional bias, is thoroughly in harmony with the present conditions which have produced a nation united in fact as well as in name. It is not even sectional in tone. Everyone knows that the "carpetbag" era which followed the close of the civil war found its sphere of action in the eouth, but beyond tb's Mr. Murphy's new play does not go. The action takes place in the south during the "carpetbag" regime, that is all. Half the characters are from the north and half from the south, and there is nothing in the beautiful love story it tells that can possibly prove objectionable to the bitterest partisan from either side of Mason and Dixon'h line. "The Carpetbagger" will be presented at Music Hall next Saturday night by Mr. Murphy-

The occasion will be made a pleasant one for all who come and large delegations are expected from all the surrounding towns.
Birthday Surprise.
Sunday, Oct. 9, the relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Battreall gathered at their home in Newtown to celebrate the 6Sth birthday of Mrs. Battreall. It was a complete surprise to both of them. It was all very nicely arranged by their granddaughter, Mrs. Effie Harris, nee Young, of Attica. She issued the invitations, then to make sure that the aged couple would be at home she wrote them a letter Btating that she, with her husband and babe, intended to make them a visit on that particular Sustlay. They had a visit planned but on getting the letter prepared to stay at home and entertain company. Accordingly, on the morniDg appointed the gueBts arrived, but not alone. Among the first to arrive was Mrs. Battreall's brother, Isaac Smith and wife, of Covington. Next came her daughter, Mrs. Insley, and husband, of Crawfordsville. When their arrival was announced Mrs. Battreall began to realize that a surprise had been planned and that it had been a success She then gave way to tears, thusshow* ing tnat she had actually been surprised. Then followed the remainder of the guests, all with their baskets of eatables, to help make the day one of enj oytheir arrival the' ladies spread the table, filling it with the good things of the land till it fairly groaned beneath its weight. For-ty-eight persons were present and partook of the bountiful repast. After dinner was over thoBe present assembled in front of the house while the photographer with hie camera was only a Bhort distance away. There were four generations represented. Immediately the guests began to scatter, wishing Aunt Vileity many more such happy surprises. She was the recipient of Bome useful presents, such as dishes, a dress, aprons, etc. Those present were: Her brother, Isaac Smith, wife and daughter, of Covington Mrs. Tom Smith, Covington their daughter, Mrs. Marion Insley, and husband, Crawfordsville their granddaughter, Mrs. David Harris, [husband and little son, Attica his brother,

A GUEST,
Wants Marital Liberty.
Nellie F. Gleason has entered suit in the circuit court for a divorce from her husband, William H. Gleason, who, perhaps, is better known as plain Bill Gleason. If the story told in Nellie's complaint is true it is altogether probable that the in Mr. Gleason's name Btands for the unmentionable abode of the accomplished but unscrupulous adversary of the souls, Nelliejsays that Bill has always failed to provide and that he treated her very cruelly in other ways. The complaint is in the fair Italian hand of Frank Goldsberry, Colfax's leading barrister, and in the complaint it is alleged in black and white, and blots, that Bill accused Nellie of being "unchased." That is a pretty tough allegation and Bill should be yanked up before the law just as Nellie has had him yanked. The complaint further recites that Bill deserted the plaintiff in September, excusing himself from home by the pleasant apology that the Crawfordsville police were looking for him Nellie does not ask for alimony. A plain, every day divorce is good enough for her..
