THE WEDDING OF MISS RETTA TEDROW AND DAVID ZIRKLE AT GREEN A GRAND AFFAIR
There was a very elaborate wedding at Green Wednesday evening. The principals were Miss Retta Tedrow and David Zirkle. The bride has been a very successful school teacher, having taught the past year near Manhattan. She has been making her home for some time with her sister, Mrs. T. D. Halbert, of Green, but her father's home is in Ohio, and she and her husband will visit there on their wedding journey.
Mr. Zirkle is the proprietor of the most important merchandise house in his home, South Haven, a town of about eight hundred inhabitants.
The bride and groom, attended by the bridesmaid, Miss Millie Tedrow, the flower girl, little Merna Halbert, and the best man, Claude Zirkle, approached the altar of the United Brethren Church at exactly 8 o'clock and there the ceremony was performed by Rev. T. D. Halbert.
Immediately following the ceremony, which was witnessed by about four hundred guests, fifty of the guests and the bridal party went to the Halbert home, and here a delightful three course supper was served.
The house and church were both handsomely decorated with ferns, smilax, roses, carnations and potted plants, and the color scheme was green and white. The bride's dress was of white silk muslin. Her sister, Mrs. Halbert, played the wedding march.
The guests brought to Mr. and Mrs. Zirkle some very beautiful wedding gifts.
The out of town guests were Rev. and Mrs. E. L. Geyer of Circleville, Claude and W. E. Zirkle and Mabel Farnsworth of Richland, and Misses Miles and Richards and Prof. and Mrs. Albaugh of Clay Center.
Mr. and Mrs. Zirkle started Thursday at noon for the home of Mr. Zirkle's parents in Richland, and a reception will be given for them at that place at noon today. From there the young couple go to Ohio to the Tedrow home, and from there to the St. Louis exposition, thence home.

NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT METEORITE SAYS DAVID ZIRKLE
There seems to be some disposition on the part of some to doubt the story in regard to the meteor or meteorite which fell east of Cheney last week.
David Zirkle and family of South Haven, who were here last Saturday visiting his brother, Wallace Zirkle and family, stated to The Sentinel, there was nothing strange about the meteorite.
Mr. Zirkle explained that several years ago on his brother's farm near Topeka a meteor glided through the heavens and dropped some of the particles off into his brother's straw stack which made it meteorite as it came to earth.
The substance picked up on the Naylor farm is very similar to what he saw at his brother's farm. Mr. Zirkle explained that a meteorite usually shows a pitted crust caused by the heat developed in the rapid passage through the earth's atmosphere. He states that a meteorite consists of a cellular mass of iron with imbedded mesosiderite or a stony mass of sporodosiderite and sometimes they are without aserdite.
However, Mr. Zirkle clings to the idea that the formation found in the Naylor wheat field, is common sand blown in by the wind and the stack being struck by lightning, so heated the mass of stony substances that it gives it the appearance of a meteorite.
The substance resembles some what the burned dirt Will Price has which he picked up after the transmission line broke in two several weeks ago. The formation electricity would make would depend on whether the ground is stony or rich black loam.

THE WEDDING OF MISS RETTA TEDROW AND DAVID ZIRKLE AT GREEN A GRAND AFFAIR
There was a very elaborate wedding at Green Wednesday evening. The principals were Miss Retta Tedrow and David Zirkle. The bride has been a very successful school teacher, having taught the past year near Manhattan. She has been making her home for some time with her sister, Mrs. T. D. Halbert, of Green, but her father's home is in Ohio, and she and her husband will visit there on their wedding journey.
Mr. Zirkle is the proprietor of the most important merchandise house in his home, South Haven, a town of about eight hundred inhabitants.
The bride and groom, attended by the bridesmaid, Miss Millie Tedrow, the flower girl, little Merna Halbert, and the best man, Claude Zirkle, approached the altar of the United Brethren Church at exactly 8 o'clock and there the ceremony was performed by Rev. T. D. Halbert.
Immediately following the ceremony, which was witnessed by about four hundred guests, fifty of the guests and the bridal party went to the Halbert home, and here a delightful three course supper was served.
The house and church were both handsomely decorated with ferns, smilax, roses, carnations and potted plants, and the color scheme was green and white. The bride's dress was of white silk muslin. Her sister, Mrs. Halbert, played the wedding march.
The guests brought to Mr. and Mrs. Zirkle some very beautiful wedding gifts.
The out of town guests were Rev. and Mrs. E. L. Geyer of Circleville, Claude and W. E. Zirkle and Mabel Farnsworth of Richland, and Misses Miles and Richards and Prof. and Mrs. Albaugh of Clay Center.
Mr. and Mrs. Zirkle started Thursday at noon for the home of Mr. Zirkle's parents in Richland, and a reception will be given for them at that place at noon today. From there the young couple go to Ohio to the Tedrow home, and from there to the St. Louis exposition, thence home.

NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT METEORITE SAYS DAVID ZIRKLE
There seems to be some disposition on the part of some to doubt the story in regard to the meteor or meteorite which fell east of Cheney last week.
David Zirkle and family of South Haven, who were here last Saturday visiting his brother, Wallace Zirkle and family, stated to The Sentinel, there was nothing strange about the meteorite.
Mr. Zirkle explained that several years ago on his brother's farm near Topeka a meteor glided through the heavens and dropped some of the particles off into his brother's straw stack which made it meteorite as it came to earth.
The substance picked up on the Naylor farm is very similar to what he saw at his brother's farm. Mr. Zirkle explained that a meteorite usually shows a pitted crust caused by the heat developed in the rapid passage through the earth's atmosphere. He states that a meteorite consists of a cellular mass of iron with imbedded mesosiderite or a stony mass of sporodosiderite and sometimes they are without aserdite.
However, Mr. Zirkle clings to the idea that the formation found in the Naylor wheat field, is common sand blown in by the wind and the stack being struck by lightning, so heated the mass of stony substances that it gives it the appearance of a meteorite.
The substance resembles some what the burned dirt Will Price has which he picked up after the transmission line broke in two several weeks ago. The formation electricity would make would depend on whether the ground is stony or rich black loam.

HIS PRESENTS TO FAMILY TAKE 2 YEARS' WORK
South Haven, Kas., Dec. 19.--David Luther Zirkle, who operated a grocery store in South Haven for 24 years, and who later was in the grocery business in both Richland and Winfield, Kas., will give family Christmas presents this year that required two years to prepare.
Zirkle, now 82, and residing in Winfield, has compiled the family history of five Zirkle brothers and their families who came to the new world from Germany in 1725 and settled in Pennsylvania. He has combined the historical background with pictures in book form for Christmas presents to descendants of the five American pioneers.
