Scurry. The following tribute to Mr. Jno. R. j Scurry was written by H. M. Ayer when he was here writing up various articles for The Herald and News: , J. R. Scurry, City Clerk and Treisurer. The financial interests of the city are in the care and keeping of Mr.1 Jonn K. scurry, wno nas Kepi uiem well in hand for a goodly number of years. He has been a bookkeeper all ft of his business life, asd he has been a good one, as is evidenced by the great confidence that is reposed in him and in his records in city affairs. It is Mr. Scurry's duty to keep funds cn hand to pay claims or else have such a good excuse that the claimant will feel almost as good a9 if he had gotten his money. Cities, like individuals, have a hard time keeping cash on hand, only individual creditors :hing that the city can shake a bush and get all the money that its creditors might want, even though they might mant more from the city than from the individuals they sell to, or work for. Mr. Scurry, handling public money, must be able at any minute, without warning, to tell just where the odd 98 cents of last year's discount off the policemen't uniforms went to, or any such items. In fact, he must be able i to so keep his books that no one need ! ask questions unless they are too lazy to look into the books to see . He does this, and he keeps all of the records of the city just as accurately, looks for ward to the obligations that are going to arise, smooths down taoee who have grouches against the street department, board of health, police or fire department, they all come to him. He has also Co collect licenses and see that no one dodges out and leaves his part of the burden for another to carry, and he has numerous other duties too numerous to mention, and he discharges them with fidelity and zeal. Onp t.hine that his office does not call for is a politician, and IMr. Scurry is not a politician, but he is a very genial and pleasant gentleman and has a host of friends. He is a native of Chappells. v Suber-Mjtchell Wedding. Just at the close ot a beautiful win-' ter's day was solemnized the marriage of one of -V wberry's most charming young ladies.

Receiving here ' I were Mr. Will Brown and Miss Myrtle' i Suber, Mr. Elmore Suber and Miss 'Vlnnie Brown. The parlor where the ' ceremony was performed was a picture cf harmony and simplicity. i I A white carpeted aisle led to the improvised altar, where the ceremony was performed. This altar was draped in white, with tracings of asparagus ferns, smnax ana wna Darauoo, wim rows of candles peeping ciieir soft lights out from among the green.
