Bible Society

We would call the attention of all friends of the bible in this county, that the Rev. A. Pilbeam has been employed by the Webster County Bible Society to canvas the county for the purpose of distributing the bible and for soliciting subscriptions in aid of this society. We ask for Mr. Pilbeam a kind recption (sic) and a hearty response to his solicitations. No collections will be taken in the Churches this year for the cause, the society having adopted this plan in place of the annual church collections. Each donator will please give the name of the church he wishes his contribution credited.

Wolsey Welles, President.
Theo. Hawley, Vice President.
E.H. Rich, Secretary.

A Family Affair

That’s what that pleasant little happening over at the Catholic church Wednesday evening was to us. The groom, Mr. Anton Rank, is the binder of the Gazette & Messenger office, and an industrious upright young man whom we and all who know him, are glad to see on the way to a bright and prosperous future. Miss Kate Laufersweiler, the bride is the sister of one of our substantial business men, and a girl whose worthy qualities have made her beloved by a large circle of friends. The young couple settle down to life at once, having made all preparations to go to housekeeping.
