HIS FIRST HUPTIAL KNOT
It was Tuesday when newly elected
Justice Grover Sellers tied his' first
nuptial knot, ,when performed the
ceremony which united the hearts
and lives of Mr. N. F. Haney and Miss
Lizzie Morgan. The ceremony was
performed in the justice court room
and while- Justice Sellers may have
appeared a little nervous in handling
the nuptial cord which was to bind
the lives of the happy couple “until
death doth part,” yet what he lacked
in experience he supplanted by earn-
estness and there is very little doubt
but the knot will hold and this couple
wfll go down life’s pathway together
with the satisfaction of knowing they
are very muchly married. Now since
the ice is broken Justice Sellers, like
Frederick the Great, is raring for
more worlds to conquer.

nevolent and Protective Order of

orated with the official emblems of
the order and the four vacant chairs
with the American flag. The musical
features were furnished by the Treb-
le Clef Club for the opening of the
occasion. Solos were rendered by

lic and was largely attended.
MR. AND MRS. ARVIE DAVIS LO-
CATE AT SWEETWATER
From Sweetwater, Texas, comes a
letter to the Gazette from Arvie Davis
who, with Mrs. Davis left Sulphur
Springs several weeks ago for New
Mexico for the purpose of benefittipg
bis health. Among other things lie
writes:
“We have located in Sweetwater,
Texas, and would like to have you
send the Gazette so we can get t&e
news from home. We have had a nice
trip of about 5,000 miles In our auto
since we left there on the 9th day of
October, touching all over Western
Texas, into New Mexico and along
the lines of Colorado and Old AipjEl
New Mexico and El Paso were l_
too high and cold so 'fifet
back to Sweetwater, Texas. Ip#
water is fine and the climate ideal
and just about right for me. The, al-
altitude is 2,400 feet above .sea level..
“While along the border we £aw
Uncle Sam’s soldiers, ready tot ac-
tion— and dead anxious'to fight—$00,-
000 of them. We saw this number in
one body, when they were reviewed
by their congressman and in the cele-
bration of the re-election of President
Wilson. The parade was five miles
long and 20 men deep. It was an im-
pressive sight and an inspiration
which brings forth one’s. patriotic
spirit. It now appears that two-
thirds of the men you meet in El
Paso are soldiers.
“Give my regards to all the folks
at home.”
Washington, Dec! 1.—More than
$^,000,000,000 worth of manufactured
goods were exported in 10 months of
1916, according to the monthly bulle-
tin of the Bureau of Foreign and Do-
mestic Commerce, just issued.
This was more than twice the
amount of exports on manufactures
for the same period in 1915, and far
more than the amount in any previ-
ous year of the nation’s history. The
total was $2,171,745,264.
The balance of trade in favor of
the United States amounted to $2,-
381,555,849.
From the above it seems that Amer-
ica is the “Egypt” and store-house of
the world.
Wisdom suggests that you buy that
gift of Kellogg & Spence for the good
reason that it can be bought for less
at their store. Ask some one who has
already bought.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith Patteson
spent ^Thanksgiving day by going to
Mt. Vernon and spending it under
the dear roof of ma and pa, Mr. and
Mrs. B. M. Patteson.
Rev. M. M. Smith and family of
Como moved to our city Thursday.
We are glad to extend the right hand
of citizenship.
Rev. R. E. Fletcher and Mrs. Larue
Jackson, who are holding a revival
meeting at Sherley, will give special
talks on Sunday evening. Rev. Fletch-
er will speak to the men only at the
W. O. W. Hall, where he invites every
man and boy over twelve years old.
Mrs. Jackson will, speak to the women
only at the same hour in the school
building. They promise to make these
services very interesting.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Thomas left
Wednesday for Mineral Wells, where
they will spend two weeks for pleas-
ure and health.
Miss Eva Stephenson, who is teach-
ing at Oakland, spent last Friday and
Saturday with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Stephenson, of this city.
Say, Ladies! Have you visited the
Christmas store yet? The counters
have been crowded the past few days
with early buyers. Call early and
make your selection, and be sure you
go to Kellogg & Spence’s, where it
can be bought for less.
The $10,000 saddle owned by Jos
C. Miller, owner of the Miller’s 101
Ranch Wild West show, and shown in
connection with the picture at the
Buford Theater Wednesday created
much interest while on display. This
saddle was manufactured by S. T.
Myers, of Sweetwater, Texas, four
y^ars ago. The leather is of the very
best with beautiful hand-carved emb-
lems and monograms thereon. It also
contains designs of steer heads and
stars, which are set with precious
stones. It is claimed there are 160
diamonds, 120 sapphires, 17 rubies,
4 garnets, 15 pounds of gold and silver
in the saddle. To say the least, it
is a magnificent piece of saddlery and
certain to attract attention wherever
shown.
