The gossips and match-makers will be greatly relieved to know that the long expected wedding between Mr. B. E. Allison and Miss May Geyer, has finally taken place. The groom is our popular R.R., telegraph and express agnt, the bride is the accomplished daughter of our well known citizen, A. E. Geyer, the furniture dealer. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. Odel, Wednesday noon, at the residence of the bride. The happy couple had intended leaving for a short trip, immediately after the wedding, but the Mo. Pac. with characteristic slowness, failed to send the expected relief agent in time, so the trip had to be postponed. The young people begin life with the best wishes of a large circle of friends.

The citizens of the town and vicinity, have been greatly annoyed by petty thieving. Finally, two or three young men, have been arrested and are now in jail. Whether they are the guilty parties or not, remains to be seen, but this should be a warning to others. It is bad business boys, and never pays.

Monday evening, J. P. Burk, was considerably surprised to see about fifty of his good neighbors filing in on him unawares.

J. Rawlins brought in to the Enterprise office, a beet weighing twenty-six pounds.
