CLE-ELUM ITEMS - Jo Jo

Real estate has been changing hands quite lively the past few days. Mr. HENDERSON, from somewhere, is now day operator here, Vice V. BARKER resigned. We welcome you, fatty. Thos.

We were also thrown into a high state of excitement Tuesday evening by there being a wedding reported to have taken place. Investigation proved such to be the case -- the first we believe in the history of the city. The usual chavivari occurred, and an unusual amount of the ardent drank to the health of the beautiful bride, of which it is needless to add we drank our full quotas.
