B,
We wish all our patrons and friends a happy and prosperous New Year, and
trust that we shall have the pleasure of selling you each and every one a share of
your supplies during 1900. We believe many of our fall customers will continue
buying for cash this year, and we solicit a continuance of your valued patronage,
assuring you that we shall always give you the best goods at the lowest possible
prices. We thank you for the liberal patronage you have given us since we en-
gaged in business a little over two months ago, and we have been enabled to en-
large our business considerably already. Our ambition is to make every month
show an increase and improvement in business, and if fair treatment will do this
we shall succeed.

The Wedding Bofla Ring.
Many young people have not
been willing to enter the year
without a loving helpmeet to
share what it has to bring, and
even in our city and county some
have been found who believe,
"♦Ti well to woo, 'ti well to wed,
For ho the world ha# done.
ttince rose* blew and myrtle grew
And morning brought the nun."
Tuesday, December 2f>, 1899,
about 12 o'clock, Dr. T. O. Gor-
man and Miss Lila Collins were
married at the Baptist church,
Rev. Jeff D. Kay officiating and
quite a number of select friends
witnessing the ceremony. The
happy couple left almost imme-
diately for San Antonio where
they spent several days, return-
ing to Caldwell Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Gorman have
been for a long time two of our
most popular and amiable young
people, and their friends are al-
most unlimited. Their future
promises to be one of comfort
and sunshine.
We join many others in wish-
ing that as they travel together
along the road of life, it may be
many long years before they will
find the thorns red for the reap-
ing, or before the light with the
shadows may meet by the side of
their way.
At the home of Mr. C. R. Run-
kle, of Cookes Point, December
28, 1899, Mr. Henry Scott, of
Tunis, and Miss Kllen Alexan-
der, of Cookes Point, were united
in matrimony, Rev. J. W. George
officiating. Quite a crowd of
friends and acquaintances were
present, and after the marriage
tbey were treated toan excellent
sapper.
Mr. Scott, who is well known in
the county, is now in the mercan-
tile business at Tunis, and Miss
Alexander was a very popular
young lady in her community.
The Nkws-Chkoniclk wishes
for them a pleasant and prosper-
ous new year, as well as long life
with comfort and contentment.
Ike Christmas Ball.
The ball given by the young
men Tuesday night, December
26, was a great success and an
excellent treat to the lovers of
music and dancing. It was well
attended, there being several
from other towns present, and
everything was conducted in a
quiet and orderly manner.
Among those attending Iron)
other places were the following:
Miss Jennie York, Rockdale;
Miss Georgia Sneed, George-
town; Misses Katie Carlisle and
Mamie Murphy, Brenham; Miss
Annie Brookes, Somerville. Also
Thomas Holland, of Brcnham.
Little Lesa McClaaahaa.
Little Lena McClanahan aged
about eight years, after a linger-
ing illness, died Wednesday night
about 7 o'clock. According to
the opinion of all her death was
occasioned by scarlet fever. She
was buried Thursday morning
at 11 o'clock. Owing to the prob-
ability of danger the burial was
very quiet one.
Her death is deeply lamented,
and we join many in an abiding
sympathy for the bereaved ones.
Notice.
By agreement, owing to the
scarlct fever situation, there will
be no Sunday schools in town next
Sunday.
