FRANCITAS
( By Mason Hirsh )
The home talent play present-
ed in the Francitas church last
Friday night, entitled "The Old
Fashioned Mother," was in every
way successful, and the large
audience which attended have
been expressing their pleasure in
witnessing the production and
their surprise as to its unques-
tionable merit. The writer has
witnessed and taken part in plays
of a similar character in much
larger Itown3, which fell below
the standard set by this one, and
the excellent results obtained
should be gratifying to all con-
cerned. The play is to be pre-
sented at Blessing, in the Com-
munity House on Friday, the 16,
at 7:30 p. m., and it is to be hop-
ed thst a much larger audience
than could be contained in the
Francitas church will witness the
performance. It is also planned
to produce the play in Ganado,
but this point is not yet settled.
'On Monday afternoon, at 3
o'clock, the marriage of Karl F.
W. Schmidt, son of Freidrich
Schmidt, to Anna Schmidt,
daughter of Peidrich Schmidt,
all of Deutschburg, was consum-
mated at the home of the bride-
groom's father. Miss Dora
Schmidt, the bride's twjn sister,
acted as maid of honor, and
Mrs. Sam Schleisser as matron of
honor. The bridegroom was at-
tended by Mr. Remmer Schmidt
in the capacity of best man. The
Reverend Wolf officiated binding
the happy couple unto eternity.
Following the ceremony, the
guests, about fifty in number,
partook of a bounteous marriage
-ipper. The evening was de-
)ted to dancing by the younger
;ik8, during the course of which
efreshments were served. We
are once again compelled to re?
gret our lack of observational
Soweys relative to the apparel of
le fair sex. and suggest that in
the future that the society editor
of The Beacon, send a reporter
to cover that phase of such cere-
OBLIGING TEACHER
monies. All that we noticed was
that the bride and her attendants
appeared as charming as one
could imagine. The details com-
posing the charm entirely escap-
ed us. The sincere wishes of the
many friends of the benedict and
his bride for years of happiness
and prosperity, are extended
through this column.
In our last communication to
The Beacon we mentioned the
fact that Ned Young was con-
templating the purchase of a
fliver, and issued a warning.
The warning was well founded.
Ned has the fliver. We drove
with him today; just a little spin
about town. Net casualties, one
dog. Stop, Look & Listen signs
are soon to make their appear-
ance at all street crossings.
Monday was, Jor should have
been observed as a holiday the
country over, commemorating
the birth of one, who in th6 opin-
ion of many of the South as well
as the North, was the greatest
of Americana—Abraham Lincoln.
But in our opinion, the day is set
apart for a far more exalted rea-
son, being observed by us with
more reverence than any other of
the year's 365 days. And we be-
ieve that Lincoln should be
proud—would be proud, could he
know that the day of his birth is
also the natal day of the truest
friend and pal the writer can
ever hope to know—his Mother.
