NEWS FLASHES

After "banged hair" the ladies are expected to wear banged eyes.

Here is the transcription on a tombstone in Pennsylvania. "In memory of Tabitha, beloved wife of Joseph Wright, Thomas Andrews, Eban Halstead, Edward Murray, and Charles Dean, by her devoted husband, Cyrus Morgan."

Another affecting epitaph reached us from Ohio. It runs as follows:

Under this sod
And under these trees
Lieth the bed
Of Soloman Peas
He's not in this hole
But only his pod
He shelled his last pea
And went up to God

MARRIED

On Wednesday morning, September 3, at the residence of Dorr Heffleman, Esp., the Hon. George H. Thummel to Miss Lina M. Smith, by the Rev. Jno. Lyon, rector of St. Stephen's, Grand Island.

This event so long anticipated by the many friends of Mr. & Mrs. Thummel, was one of quiet simplicity-being celebrated in the midst of the happy couple's family relations. The morning was beautifully calm and we are certain, was emblematic of the calm, happy life they are destined to lead. Mr. & Mrs. Thummel left for the east by the early morning train.
