ter, as among- the out of town
1 guests at the Parks-Bookhout
wedding in Dallas Thursday of
■ last week.
John Ray went to Lancaster
Monday to attend Speer’s school,
having sold his tailor business to
Mr. Barrow from Dallas. John
said he had arranged to do the
tailoring for the school bovs.
John has been in the tailoring
business h€re over a year and
understands it all right.—Ferris

Clyde Little spent Sunday with
his mother and sister., in Lan-
caster. He left Dallas Wednes-
day night for a vacation. He
will visit Chicago, Detroit, Tole-
do, Pittsburg, Kansas City, and
points in Denver. He will also
witness several of the world
series base ball games between
Detroit and Pittsburg during
his trip.
We had the pleasure of seeing
Mrs. W. R. Moffett unpack her
china kiln Wednesday morning
and it was certainly a beautiful
sight, Every inch of space in
kiln was filled with china; some
having received but their first
firing and others three or four,
while some were finished, Each
piece wod admiration. Mrs. Mof-
fett loves her work and is very
talented.
While generating gas at the
city plant Saturday night. Dr.
Barker received quite painful
burns on his face and bands.
The gas was not entirely cut off
and ignited from the Doctor’s
lantern he had just lighted at the
door. He was able to be down
town Tuesday, but was quite
disfigured. The burns were
diot deep, and will probably not
leave scars.
r
Dr. S. A. McElrov performed
the ceremony Sunday afte-noon
at the Presbyterian parsonage
that united the lives of Geo.. Fitz-
hugh and Miss Rosa Headrick.
These are young people of well
known and highly respected
families, and they have the best
wishes of a host of friends as
they start on life’s journey to-
gether. The Herald extends
congratulations and best wishes.
Miss Laura Greer, who for the
past year has b<»en in the home
of Rev. and Mrs. Mahan, left
Wednesday for Horatio, Ark.,
and after a visit of several weeks
will return to her home in Ken-
tucky. Miss Greer made warm
friends while in Lancaster, and
was tendered many tokens of
love and appreciation by teachers
and members of the Baptist Sun-
day school in which she was a
teacher while here.
Thos. Barry and Miss Head-
ritk were married Monday morn-
ing by Judge H. B. Jordan. This
ceremony was to have taken place
Sunday at the same time the
Headrick-Fitzhugh wedding took
place, but a mistake was made
by the clerk in issuing the li-
cense, which caused the defer-
ring of the wedding until Mon-
day morning. We trust there
will be no hitch in their married
life, but that happiness and pros-
perity may attend them.
A dreadful thing occurred near
Ferris last Sunday morning,
when Burr Bryant killed his
father, A. B. Bryant. From re-
ports in the daily papers there
seems to have been trouble over
a land deal, and Saturday when
the father accidentally knocked
some meat into the well which
his son had hung there, a fight
followed, each man being armed
with a knife, when the son se-
cured a shotgun and killed his
father. The father was 60 years
old, leaving a wife and two other
children. He is a stockholder in
both Ferris banks and an owner
of large farming interests. The
son is 25 years old, married, but
has no children. Immediately af-
ter the tragedy the son left for
parts unknown.
