Major Baldwin, who has been a
great sufferer from kidney trouble,
was Tlperated on in Fort Worth last
week, and it is reported that he is
getting along nicely. The opera-
tioit'^pas one requiring great care
and delicacy in all its details, and
one from which but few recover.
Dan Cupid is doing pretty well
this week in the way of making
young people happy. This time
he got around to the residence of
Mr. and Mrs- Ike Pond and put
Miss Gertrude under his magic
spell, and then brought.to her re-
lief John Stone, and a minister of
the gospel, Rev. E. B. McLaugh-
lin, who said a few words that en-
chained their lives forever, and
made them as one. The Tribune
devoutly wishes there may be much
happiness in store for these young
people.
At the residence of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W.
Gray, on Thursday, Dec. 22, at
7:30 in the evening Miss Mary C.
Gray was married to Harve Boyd,
Rev. E. B. McLaughlin officiating.
Only a few personal friends and
the immediate relatives of the fam-
ilies were present. The groom is
a son of J. H. Boyd, a prosperous
Bosque farmer, and has the repu-
tation of being a worthy, ener-
getic young man. He attended
college in Stephenville for some
time, but quit to give his attention
to business, and it was while go-
ing to school that he became ac-
quainted with the girl that he has
just made-his wife, and a worthier
choice could not have been made,
for she is modest and lady-like in
deportment and altogether a model
woman.

Miss Jessie Tudor was the recip-
ient of a novel present this week,
sent by her brother from the Pan-
ama canal zone. It was a coco
nut with a full jacket on, just as
it came from the tree. The ad-
dress was written on the nut and
there the stamps were placed.
There was no outside wrapper, so
the nut came through the mail just
as nature finished it for use.
