Clarke—Gentry.
At eight o'ojock on Thursday
evening, March 1st,- Mr Proc
tor K Clarke and Miss Ruth
Gentry, both of this city, were
joined together in the holy
bonds of wedlock, at the resi
dence of the bride's parents
Rev L E Masters, pastor of the
Baptist church, performing the
ceremony.
The wedding was a beautifu
one, indeed. I'he guests al
seemed delighted, but not hal
so delighted as the bride and
road to groom. The marriage cere-
mony was very impressive; in
fact the birds that mated in the
lovely bowers of the Garden of
Eden seemed to have renewed
their melodies in the simple
well-chosen words of the min-
ister. The groom was dressed
in a neat well fitting wedding
suit and altogether he looked
a prize worth capturing from
the realm of Cupid's domain.
And the bride was more than a
picture of feminine dignity and
loveliness—she was a living,
breathing personification of
grace and modesty. She was
dressed in white silk, with ap-
propriate trimmings. She held
in her hands during the cere-
mony a beautiful boquet of
Mareschal Neil roses. Miss Ar-
chie Lee Clarke played the
wedding march.
After the words were spoken
that made the twain one, the
bride and groom and the guest
repaired to the dining-room
where delicious refreshments
were served.
The Albany band's String
Orchestra played some of their
sweetest airs while the guests
were partaking of the refresh-
ments—music that seemed but
he distant notes of Aeolian
narps, borne to one over a sum-
mer sea.
The wedding presents were
numerous, indeed so many that
a special room had to be pro-
vided, and it was well-filled.
Mr Proctor K Clarke is well
known here, having been reared
at this place. He is a son of
Judge and Mrs A A Clark of
this city. Proctor is a young
man with the right kind of
stuff in him, has the respect
and confidence of a host of
friends, who wish him suc-
cess and happiness in his new
venture.
Miss Ruth Gentry was also
reared in Albany. She is the
daughter of Mr and Mrs Mart
Gentry of this place. She is a
young lady of admirable quali-
ties; yes, she has all the essen-
tials that go to make a true
American woman.
The News joins the many
friends of the happily wedded
couple in wishing them a serene
voyage over lifes matrimonial
sea. May little trouble, but
much joy and Iiappines be
theirs as they stem their
barque towards the haven of
their brightest dreams.

J B Putman, who has recent-
ly moved here from Throck-
morton county, was a pleasent
callar at the News office Sat-
urday. Mr Patman informed
us that he is going to engage
in the Mercantile business in
the near future. Among other
things Mr. Putman said:
"That the merchants and bank-
ers of Albany would have to
wake up to the situation that
confronts them; and that is,
to look after the trade that nat-
urally belongs to Albany."
There is no question but what
Albany has the largest trade
territory of any town on the
Texas Cental Railroad today,
and the merchants must be-
come aroubed to the situauion
and meet their competitors on
the field of battle for this large
volume of trade. There is no
question of doubt but what
tnere is at the very lowest fig-
ure, two hundred thousand dol-
worth of trade belonging
ars
to Albany going to other points.
Gentlemen we must reach
out and grasp this prize that
is right here at Our door.
First, we must build good
roads; second we must meet
he prices of our competi-
ors. Nothing comes to a
man nor a people, who sit
around on the stool of ease—
but it cost sweat and blood and
acrifice, and money, too. We
must wake up, we must roll up
our sleeves and put our shoul-
der to the wheel and push lij^e
the devil to reach it. ..We
must go out into their territo-
ry and tell the people what we
have got, and we must offer
them special inducement to
come over and do business
with us. We had better sell
them goods at cost in order to
locate them. The 20th century
is going to be the nge ot do
it's going to be the age of in-
tellectual giants. The question
of economics, the question of
state graft and the question of
commercial glory is going to
be fought out in the school de-
plomacy, and the man or the
town thats sits around on dry
goods boxes and whines and
curses the goverment and the
seasons is going to rundown at
Ihe heel and wear patched
pants. Let^us get up and be
doing, let us move out and be
the builders of the greatest
town an the greatest country
in the west Texas.
