At the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Webb on last Wed-
nesday evening at 4 o'clock p.
m., Mr. O. J. Mitchell and Miss
Georgia Anderson were united
in the holy bonds of matrimony.
This seemed to be rather an
unexpected affair with Mr. and
Mrs. Webb, but they were cer-
tainly equal to the occasion.
Promptly at four o'clock we
arrived on the scene with pen-
cil and book in hand, with one
of those wise expressions on
our face—which all country
editors wear on special occa-
sions. Mr. and Mrs. Webb
met us at the door and gave us
a very gracious welcome. Sam
was looking as pleasing as a
basket of chips, and slapped
us on the shoulder and said:
"Mc, by doggies let us get mar-
ried again." To say the least
of it, it does make an old mar-
ried man feel good to see the
young people get married. So
the host and hostess ushered
lis into the parlor and Lo and
behold! it seemed like the
whole town was there. Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Burns, Mrs.
Capt. A. J. Center, Mrs. P. H.
Williams, Misses Ethel Wil-
liams, Dora Russell, Emma
Wofford, Ollia Clarke, Udie
Dodson, Mary Nelson, Judge
Chism, T. V. Baker, W. A.
Eaheart, Brooksey King, and
about one hundred and fifty
more. We can't think of all
their names. And just at the
appointed time Rev. W. A.
Manly walked into the parlor
and took his stand in the center
of the room, then silence fell
upon the merry throng, and all
eyes were turned toward the
door of entrance, when the cur-
tains were pulled back by un-
seen hands, and the smiling
groom and his lovely bride
marched in. Then Rev. W. A.
Manly, in a very impressive
manner, said the words that
made them one; flesh of flesh,
and bone of bone. After the
ceremony, a delightful repast
was served by the host and
hostess, which was certainly a
rare treat to all. The contract-
ing parties are both members
of prominent families of Shack-
elford county; the groom is the
son of I. P. Mitchell, one of
Shackelford county's most pros-
perous farmers, and the bride
.is the daughter of D. R. Ander-
son, a prominent stockman and
farmer. The News extends to
the newly wedded couple its
best wishes. May your lives
be crowned with happiness and
success.

It is currently reported that
the Santa Fe R. R. has pur-
chased the Texas Central road,
but as yet it has not been con-
firmed. The officials of neither
road have given out anything
at all. The Board of Directors
of the Santa Fe will meet at
Topeka, Kansas, in December
to discuss the advisability of
absorbing the Texas Central
road—until then nothing defi-
nite will be known.
