Glasgow Weekly TImes
About April 1900.  Judge J H HOWARD died at his home near Hiseville last
Thursday morning with heart trouble. Judge Howard was a most esteemed and
honored citizen and personally one of the cleverest and best of men. He was
a gallant Southern soldier, and popular with all who knew him and his death
will be greatly regretted. He was about sixty years of age at the time of
his death.

One of the most up-to-date weddings took place at the Big Meadow church near
here last Tuesday evening at 3:30 o'clock, the contracting parties being Mr.
Darius EDWARDS and Miss Alice DODSON. The attendants were Messrs John
GALLOWAY and Calvin SLINKER and Misses Kate TUTER and Maybe BOWLES [names so
spelled]. Mr. Edwards is one of Metcalfe's best and most highly esteemed
young men and is a son of Mr. C. D. Edwards, who was formerly a citizen of
the Hiseville country, and is known as one of the cleverest of men. The
bride is the attractive daughter of Mr. Dodson, of near Elko. After the
ceremony, by Rev. J M JOHNSON, the happy couple left for the home of the
groom, where a bountiful supper awaited them. The occasion will long be
remembered by those present as a most enjoyable event. The writer is related
to the groom, and extends the hand of congratulation to him in the selection
of a companion, and hopes that a bright future is before them.

Partial: ... on the head by a railroad mailhook, at Dodge City, Kansas,
while making his regular run as a trainman, and his skull was fractured so
that he died Monday morning. Mr. ALEXANDER married a daughter of Mr W R
DAVIS, of Marrowbone, and leaves a family of several small children, besides
his wife. Mr. J I ALEXANDER, the Marrowbone merchant, a brother of the dead
man, accompanied by his wife, came over Monday and left Tuesday morning for
Dodge City.

Mr. James D. WILLIAMS died at his home near Slick Rock last Friday. Mr.
Williams was one of the old landmarks of the county, and was well up in his
eighties at the time of his death, which was caused by the infirmities
incident to extreme old age. The remains were interred in the family burying
ground on the farm of Mr. Dave SMITH, near Randollph, Saturday.

Mr. ALEXANDER, of Smiths Grove, had a fine milch cow to die last week, which
was quite a loss to him. Mr. Sam WHEELER and Miss Bettie BURNETT were
visiting friends and relatives on the knobs last Saturday and Sunday. Mr.
John ROBINSON, who left this place about two months ago for Illinois,
returned home last Monday and reports bad weather and dull times in
Illinois. The farmers all have been much disheartened on account of so much
rainyk weather, but as the weather has turned off so pretty, they have gone
to work as hap as if thek were on the road to Spain.  Our merchant F C
DENTON has ordered a fine lot of spring goods and they will be in next week.
We hope he will be successful in selling his goods as spring is opened and
they are needed. The Smiths Grove string band met at H R BURNETT'S Tuesday
night last. It was the sweetest music I ever heard. Messrs Kary, Dock and
Cread, King Walter, WIll WRIGHT and Earnest DUKE are the musicians and
others that belong to their band were not present.
