New officers of the Mount Ayr High School Alumni Association are Mrs. Floyd BEAMAN, president; Frank F. WILSON, vice-president; and Charles W. LAWHEAD, secretary-treasurer.

The secret marriage of Clara BROWN and Elza BECK, which took place October 15, at Troy, KS, was revealed this week. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Martha BROWN, of Maloy, and Mr. BECK is the son of Mrs. Amanda E. BECK, of Mount Ayr. Mr. and Mrs. BECK will make their home in Mount Ayr, where he has employment with the Princess Theatre and as radio repairman at Shafer's Service Station.

The Maloy bank building was recently sold by the board of supervisors of Ringgold County to J.W. SHEIL, the consideration being $35. The property was owned by the county under provisions of the deliquent tax law.
