MARRIED. Mr. Leonard Harned and Miss Katie Wingert were married Sunday, the 6th inst., at the residence of the bride’s parents, Rev. R. S. Thompson officiating. The young couple receive the hearty congratulations of their many friends around Baltimore, and we hope they will live happily and as long as Methuselah did.

Winfield Courier, July 4, 1878.
Messrs. L. and E. Harned and John Wingert went to Wichita this week with hogs. The Harned Brothers have got in considerable corn this season, and have got as nice a pasture for hogs as there is in the county.

OMNIA TOWNSHIP, Oct. 13, 1878. Since my last, everything has transpired: county convention, district convention, Democratic convention, and National Greenback Labor party convention, and still we live. On Wednesday night of last week the voters of Omnia Township met at Baltimore to perfect the organization of a greenback club and send delegates to the N. G. L. “pow-wow,” held in your city on the 12th, and although it was reported that a club of 15 members had been organized the Saturday night before and the house was well filled on the said last Wednesday night, not a single man could be found in the entire assembly that would acknowledge any connection with the said N. G. L. club at Baltimore, and consequently Omnia could not be legally represented in the Winfield show. However, the people resolved themselves into a meeting and although not in strict accordance with the original programme, listened to genuine Democrat speeches from E. Harned and R. W. Pester, and Republican speeches from J. C. Stratton and E. A. Henthorn, and I will say they differed very little on the all important issue of the day, to-wit: finance. Next Saturday at 3 o’clock p.m., the voters of Omnia Township, regardless of former political associations, will meet at Baltimore for the purpose of nominating township officers. ALEXANDER.

Corn looks very well, although a good rain would not hurt it. The chinch bugs are in most of the wheat, and to some pieces are doing considerable damage. Harvesting will be in full blast in another week. Elisha Harned will begin cutting his wheat today. Several of the young people of this part are having the ague. Miss Mary Jackson and Mr. Frank Smith were bitten by rattlesnakes last week, but both are convalescing. Baltimore can again boast of a Sunday school: J. C. Stratton, superintendent.

There was a discussion between E. Harned and L. A. Daniels on the subject, “Resolved, that the bible is the inspired word of God.” Harned rather got away with him, as he had the affirmative of the question. GLEANER.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 8, 1885.
The Democrats of Cowley County met at the Courthouse Saturday to go through the same old farce of nominating a county ticket to be easily defeated by the Republicans: a sequel inevitable in grand old Republican Cowley. About fifty delegates were present, with a small audience of visitors. J. L. Andrews, of Maple City, was chosen chairman and Ed Gage secretary. Everything was as tranquil as a May morning. The office went round hunting its man, as usual in Democratic conventions in Cowley. Nobody could smell meat, and didn’t care to sacrifice themselves on the party altar. The convention was exceedingly tame—no opposition whatever.
The Democratic County Central Committee for the coming year stands as follows.
Omnia: E. Harned.
