The marriage will take place Thanksgiving morning, November 29. The fine, bright and warm weather we have had all during November took a little change Monday, when it became cooler and was cloudy all day. A sprinkle of rain fell Monday night and yesterday morning, while the skies continued cloudy. This is bad weather for drying out the corn and experts are advising leaving it in the field and make no attempt to crib it until we get cold, freezing weather to dry it out —to freeze it dry, in fact. ** A cablegram was received here Saturday by Delos Thompson from his son Alfred in Paris, in which the latter stated he would leave for America within the next few days. When the Americans serving in France were recently taken over by this government they were required to pass a rigid physical examination, which Alfred failed to do and was discharged. He went direct to Paris and endeavored to get into other branches of the service but failed, hence his decision to return home. Alfred has been in France for several months and saw considerable active service.

It is iione too early to begin to urge our citizens to do their Christ' mas shopping early. If you put this matter off until near the holiday season, you will not only find depleted stocks but will also meet with many annoying delays in getting waited upon. Now when stocks are complete and fresh it will be much easier and more satisfactory to do your shopping. No doubt many gifts will be forwarded to the various camps for our soldier boys this Christmas, and these must go forward early if they are to 'reach their destination in time. For these and a thousand other reasons it will be wise to do your Christmas shopping early. Dudley and Simeon Tyler of near Remington were in town yesterday making inquiries where they could find some hogs for feeding soft corn to. The former has 110 acres of corn but owing to the warm weather with the rains in October and the early frosts, none of it is yet fit to crib and it is beginning to mould some during this kind of weather. Mr. Tyler reports that he has just sold the 200-acre farm where he lives —the former Dexter R. Jones farm, one-half mile south and miles west of Remington, to John Fray of Fowler at $225 per acre. Mr. Tyler, who has the place leased for another year, recently bought this farm for $220 per acre.
