John Mitchell, four miles south of this city at high noon Wednesday, Dec. 22, occurred the marr agj of their daughter, Mamie A , to Mr. George Saha, of Mathews township. Rev. J. E. Booth of this city officiating.The handsome new and modern home just erected by Mr. Mitchell, which received the last finishing touches the week before, was filled to its utmost capacity with invited guests, there being over one hundredpresent besides the rel«tiv*« of the contracting parties. Just at the hourof high nojn Mrs. Arthur Hodges, of Garrison, N. D , a sister of the brida, began to play the wrcdding march.The happy couple took their places and were made man and wife, the ring ceremony being performed.j After the pawwouj the happy couplereceived the congratulations of all present. The company was then served with an elaborate wedding dinner by the mother of the bride.Such a feast had not been served in this section for a long time, and the guests did ample justice to the good things set before them.The afternoon and evening gwere given over to merrymakiug, but theevent was saddened in the afternoon „„„by the news Of the serious illness of 1 yearling, and 1 10-months-old. full, the groom’s motuei who was t the * shorthorn bulls for sale.

This year the yield of wheat from 1,860.000 acres is estimated at G1,3S0,-000 bushels, or an average of 33 bushels per acre. The average yield per aoie for the last ten years is 31.53 bushels. The United States consul at Nottingham (Eng.) reports a field near that city yielding 68 bushels per asre. The season was unusually wet and cold, so much so that ten consecutive sunny days in August practically comprised the summer. While these conditions were couducive to large wheat yields, the quality of the grain is below the average.The point, however, these figures are intended to illustrate, is that whenever the time comes when economic conditions make it profitable and necessary to farm in the newer countries as it is done in the o d, thickly settled sections of the world, double the wheat can be raised on the same acreage now devoted to this cereal. To this acreage add that i which is still uncultivated and it can readily be realized that all talk of limit of production of wheat, or any other foodstuff, for that matter, is about a thousand years ahead of time. —Farm Stock and Home.SNAPSSSmmmoth Tutoso Gssssfor sale.
