This week's Fayette Democrat Leader contains a full column write-up of the Hall-Hendrix wedding, and speaks in the most complimentary terms of both Miss Hendrix and Mr. Hall. Of the former, it says: "Miss Hendrix is the granddaughter of the late Mr. Adam Hendrix, one of the pioneer citizens and bankers of Fayette; the daughter of the late Mr. Fremont Hendrix and a young woman who is dearly loved by her friends for her bright, amiable disposition, and who is universally admired for her beauty and accomplishments."

A letter received in Carthage from a Colorado tourist states that W. E. Hall and son, Tom, left Manitou last Thursday for Thunder Mountain, Idaho, to view their mine investments. Their wives are at 121 Hill Top, near Chautauqua amphitheater. Mrs. W. W. Flora is at 1415 Colorado avenue. At the Sunnyside hotel, kept by Capt. Rogers in Manitou, are Mesdames Greenwood, O. D. Royse, Margaret Lister and daughter, Miss Flo, Mrs. Wallace Matthews and sister, Mrs. Ed Jenkins of Joplin. Others from Carthage are expected there. Mrs. A. F. Wise and daughter, Miss May, are in Manitou.

Miss Mae Pauley now there, is to be married the middle of August and will come to Kansas City on a bridal tour, then live in a cottage in Colorado Springs. Milt McClure, now in Colorado Springs, points out to his tourist friends a mountain top of which he has a claim, and shows dirt which he declares has gold.
