Schacht-Ehrlich
At the home of the bride's parents, in Lorraine, Kansas, occurred the marriage of Miss Alma Schacht and Mr. Con Ehrlich, of Marion, last Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It was a quiet home wedding, those in attendance from here being Mr. and Mrs. John Ehrlich, parents of the groom, Misses Leona, Emma and Anna Ehrlich, his sisters, and Mr. Karl Ehrlich.
Mr. and Mrs. Ehrlich have gone to Colorado to spend a week or two, after which they will return to Marion and begin house-keeping. The groom has a residence all furnished and ready for occupancy — the fourth door north of Mr. Tom Kellett's, in Jex addition.
Con Ehrlich is one of Marion's best young men. He is one of the most enterprising and successful business men of the town and is deserving of the universal esteem in which he is held. The bride is known to a number of our people and is said by all who know her to be a most estimable young lady.
Congratulations and best wishes are extended by the RECORD in behalf of their host of friends.

Dress-Cutting School
The Keister Tailoring School will be opened next Monday, Sept. 10th, at Thompson's store. Miss Elizabeth Lindsay will be in charge again this season.

School Time Again
That wonderful machine, the U.S. Public School System, is oiled and in running order again. At the sound of the bell each morning, thousands of teachers stand at their desks, to receive thousands of pupils. Thousands of mothers wash thousands of faces and hands, hunt thousands of books and have thousands of hurries and worries for fear their children may cause a hitch in this wonderful machinery of the Public School System. And so it is day after day for eight or nine long months of each year. No stop, no turning aside for other more important things, for there are no such things in the minds of American parents and teachers and pupils.
Whose children may go? Everybody's children must go. It is a wonderful system. No wonder we have a wonderful nation of wonderful people.
