Friday, 3 July 1914--Last Saturday, we believe, was the most disagreeable day we ever experienced. The wind blew a hurricane all day and the dust was so thick that at times one could not see ten feet ahead. All doors and windows had to be kept closed and as a result people all but melted. Friday, 3 July 1914--HARLOW-JOHNSON--Mr. Wm. Harlow of Burlington Junction, and Miss Jessie Johnson, one of Higbee's prettiest and most popular young ladies, were united in marriage at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, July 1, 1914, at the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Mary Pilkington, Rev. J. W. Rushton of Independence officiating. The bride is one of Higbees most refined young ladies, and has for a year or more been one of the Bell's most efficient and courteous "central" girls. The groom is not unknown to Higbee people, having been in the poultry business here several years ago. He comes from one of the Centralia's best families, and holds a good position with the Wabash as operator at Burlington Junction, Mo. THE NEWS joins other friends in congratulations and best wishes.
