Makkikii —At the residence of
the bride’s father, Col. Jerry Shaw,
in Dodge City, Wednesday even
ing, June 8, 1898, Mr. Robert C.
Hodgson to Miss Alice M. Shaw,
Rev. W. R. Weaver, officiating.
Miss Shaw is the youngest child of
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Shaw, and Mr.
Hodgson an electrician in the em
ploy of the Dodge City Electric
Light Company. Outside of the
families of the bride and groom
only a few intimate friends were
present at the ceremony.
Representatives of a Denver
advertising fake were in town Mon
day- soliciting subscriptions for a
scheme to advertise the Arkansas
Valley at the Omaha exhibition.
They wanted a donation of $350
from the county commissioners
and all the money on the side they
could secure. They did not meet
with much success, in fact their re
ception was somewhat in the na
ture of a frost. Advertising is all
right, in legitimate channels —the
Tribune for instance, but the men
who profit by the advertising
should pay the printer, as the
Tribune advertisers do. The men
who are chiefly benefited by adver
tisiog, and can afford the expense,
should bear the cost of advertising
our resources and advantages, and
not the general public. Of course
we are all more or less benefited
by an influx of population, but the
man who has lands and lots to sell
is primarily and lastingly benefited
and should bear the expense of
I advertising our resources.
PERMANENT PATRONAGE
And Business Friendship are valuable to
us. For this reason we use every'joffort
to make this store excel in its stock, its
novelties, its system.
