SUMMERROW - HABY WEDDING.
The nuptial vows unit^ig in the
holy bonds of wedlock Ray E. Sum-
merrow, of Austin, and Miss Lucile
Haby, of this city, took place Thurs-
day night at 9 o’clock at the home of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.
Haby.
The parlor had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion in green
and white, ferns and daisies being
used to carry out the color scheme.
An improvised altar had been arrang-
ed, and through the banks of flowers
shown the gleaming nuptial lights.
Just prior to the wedding ceremony
the bride’s sister, Miss Matha Haby
sang, “When You Are Truly Mine,”
accompanied on the piano by Mrs.
Ben Grimes. As the piar.st played
Lohengrin’s wedding march, the bride
entered accompanied by her sister,
Miss Matha Haby, as maid-of-honor,
and Misses Violet Helms of Belton,
and Louellen Rountree as bridesmaid s
The bridegroom, was attended by his
uncle, Tom Carpenter, of Austin, and
as they took their designated places at
the marriage altar, Rev. E. S. Bar-
low used the Episcopal nuptial rites
which requires the ring ceremony. It
was a very solemn and impressive
ceremony, the bride being given away
by her father. Mendelssohn’s wed-
ding recessional was played as the
newly wedded pair stepped aside to
receive the congratulations and good
wishes’ of a number of close and inti-
mate friends who were present to wit-
ness the ceremony.
A great deal of merriment was
caused when the young people were
invited to cut the good luck horse-
shoe cake, and each one vied with the
other in trying to secure the ring.
Light refreshments of cream and
cake were served, the color scheme of
white and green was also carried out
in the refreshments.
As the bride ascended the stairway
to attire herself in traveling suit, she
tossed her bouquet, and Miss Louellen
Rountree wa sthe successful maiden
to receive it.
Mr. and Mrs. Summerrow left in a
car for Temple, accompanied by Pat
Bently, of Belton, and Miss Violet
Helms, of Belton, where they took the
train for Corpus Christi and from

Waco, Tex., Aug. 2.—Final returns
from the recent election in McLennan
and Cooke counties reveal some inter-
esting facts with reference to the
standing of the two gubernatorial
candidates with their home people.
Pat Neff of Waco carried his ward,
his home city and his county by an
overwhelming majority.
In the Eagle Springs community
where Mr. Neff was born near the
McLennan-Coryell line, he received
all the votes cast except one. At Mc-
Gregor where he grew to young man-
hood, Mr. Neff received practically
ninety per cent of the entire vote;
and at Moody, which is the home of
Mrs. Edna C. Patterson and formerly
of the late Mr. Patterson, Neff receiv-
ed more votes than his thre® oppon-
ents combined.
The returns from Cooke county
show that Mr. Bailey did not carry
his own ward his home city, or his
county.

SPOILED HIS “POEM.”
The average printer considers poet-
ry a nuisance. Much so-called poetry
is all that and worse. It takes longer
to set verse than straight prose and
there are more chances for errors. A
newspaper versifier recently wrote a
few stanzas about his little son, the
first one beginning with the line, “My
son! my pigmy counterpart.” It ap-
peared in the paper, “My son, my
pig, my counterpart,” and the poet
was mad about it.Cappear’s Weekly.
Jones was arrested and brought to
Lampasas Friday afternoon for an ex-
amining trial, and to answer two
charges, one for murder and one for
assault. His bond was fixed at $5,-
000.00 on charge of murder, and $2,-
500.00 for assault. About twenty-five
citizens of the Izoro community went
on the bond.
A blank complaint was filed
against Ellis Cockrell, but on account
of his conditioif-he has noi, been ar-
rested. He was brought to Lampasas
Saturday morning in a car and taken
to Temple on the train where he will
receive medical attention in the sani-
tarium. The wounded man was ac-
companied by Ed Cockrell, a relative,
and A. O. Earls, of Topsjr.
Newman Jones, who was killed Fri-
day, was a single man, and Henry
Cockrell, the other victim of the
shooting affray, leaves a wife and
several children.
MAKING FUTURE LEADERS.
Commenting on the departure of
the seven Tarrant County farm boys,
who are to make the trip on the Texas
Farm Boys’ Special, a Tarrant county
farmer remarked that there was noth-
ing of that kind when he was a boy.
“Why,” he said, “a trip like that
would have been impossible ten years
ago.”
That’s the plain truth. And noth-
ing could emphasize the importance
of the whole movement of which this
trip is a part more than that. The full
esults of the work among farm boys
and girls will not be seen until the
next generation, but there cannot be
the least doubt that those resalts will
be enormous. For it is not only mak-
ing these boys into efficient farmers
of the very highest type, but it is de-
veloping rural leaders. One of the
greatest needs of the movement for
the general improvement of rural life
and more efficient farmers is leaders
