H. Dyar of Rochester has sold his "Pinehurst" farm north of this village to Wm. Biers of Little Valley. Consideration $1?,500. The purchaser has sold his farm in Little Valley to his brother, Charles Biers. Mr. And Mrs. M. V. Rowley will celebrate the 49th anniversary of their wedding tomorrow. There will be no more than a family gathering. Another year will be the golden anniversary and if all is well the occasion will be celebrated as it should be. John F. Wright calls attention in his interesting advertisement to the efforts of our earliest ancestors to construct places of abode. To appreciate the advance of civilization a comparison of those efforts and Mr. Wright's artistic work is all that is necessary. Read his ad. A prominent business man in Rochester lent his horse yesterday to a young man who wanted to go to Eyota. When it came time to attend to the morning delivery of goods, the horse was missing. A reasonable amount of storming failed to make matters any better, so he did the next best thing and hired a livery rig to do his work. Next time he will recommend the young man to patronize the livery stables, and keep his horse for his own use. The marriage of Miss Louise Slater to Frank Towner took place on Saturday evening at eight o'clock at the M. E. parsonage, the Rev. Ora W. Taylor officiating. The wedding was a very quiet affair, the bride and groom being unattended and but a few immediate relatives present. The newly-wed couple will reside in Rochester. Miss Slater is a Kasson lady. Mr. Towner is well known in the city, having lived here from boyhood. Seventy-five or eighty members of the Madden family and relatives met at the home of Martin Madden in Viola township yesterday. The day was most delightfully spent. About thirty-five children of nearly the same age were present, and the little folks in particular had a merry time. The house, of course, could not contain them. A large table was spread on the lawn for their especial benefit and they enjoyed their dinner.... SUDDEN DEATH AT SIMPSON Daily Bulletin June 30 John Stewart, an aged resident of the county, died suddenly at his home near Simpson yesterday afternoon.
