faction, and guarantee every thing
to prove just as represented.

At the residence of Dr. John M.
Boyd in Dallas, Texas, on Thursday,
December 16th, Mr. P. C. Sims of Dal-
las and Miss Annie Boyd of Snlphnr
Springs were united in marriage, Rev.
J. M. Brooks officiating.
Miss Annie Boyd was reared in Sul-
phur Springs and has been known by
oar people all her life. It would be
needless to comment upon her many
sterling qualities. She is a pore,
■weet, noble hearted woman, worthy
and deserving of all the happiness
and pleasure that may come to her
through the devotion and constancy
of a true, devoted husband/
Mr. P. O. Sims is a most excellent
gentleman, cnltnred, honorable, up-
right, fall of integrity, a mpn of ex-
tensive travel and large experience in
the business world. He has been
financially successful and is provided
with ample means to provide not only
for the necessities, but also the luxu-
ries of a home. At present he occu-
pies a prominent position with the
Texas Oil Company at Dallas. As
soon as he can dispose of some prop -
erty holdings and close ont his inter-
ests in Texas they a£e going to Cali-
fornia where Mr. Sims will accept a
flrie position with t5ie oil people
there.
We congratulate the bride and
groom at the happy consummation of
a brief and romantic courtship, and
wish for them many bright, happy
years full of love and sunlight and do-
mestic joy and peace.
Long Distance Wedding.
Pecos, Tex., Dec. 22.—With a'min-
ister performing the ceremony twen-
ty miles away from them, Kyle Love-
joy and Dorothy Flowers were mar-
ried tonight at Toy ah.
Rev. H. M. Smith of this city mar-
ried the couple. They stood in the
Toyah telephone station clasping
banda and holding receivers to their
ears and listening to the words twen-
ty miles' distant which made them
man and wife.
Wins Big Victory.
Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. 22.—
General Estrada has won a complete
victory over the Government troops
at Rama.
A total of six hundred men in both
armies were killed or wounded.
Nineteen hundred of Zelaya’s men
have surrendered, including General
Gonzales in command.
Two Americans are reported killed.
The fighting occurred ontside the
city limits and the wounded are be-
ing brought here. Commander Shin-
ley has landed surgeons from the
Des Moines to care for then!'
The Broken Box.
In regard to the ballot box which
came down from Oumby broken open,
we wish to state that the express
messenger who received the box at
Cumby and put it off here, stated that
he received it in good condition and
that the box was placed on a stack
of chicken coops and that a larch or
jar of the train caused the box to fall;
that the box broke open when it fell,
and that it only contained four cou-
pons. As the express messenger’s
statement stands unchallenged, and
we have heard no further complaint
from our Cumby friends, we are of
the opinion that they simply held
their votes back and did not put them
in the box, and presume the matter
is entirely satisfactory with them.
Chance for the Trinity.
Dallas, Dec. 20.— S. W. S. Duncan
returned from Washington, where he
attended the national rivers and har-
bors congress as a delegate from Dal-
las. He, in company with Congress-
men Beall, Gregg and Hardy and
Robert E. Cowart, went before the
rivers and harbors committee last
Wednesday.
It was stated in Washington that the
committee wonld give no hearings
after Jan. 4 and whatever action is
taken will be based on hearings held
before that time.
The committee stated that if an ap-
propriation of $50,000,000 to $60,000,-
000 was made by congress for the im-
provement of inland waterways and
harbors, it was very likely the Trinity
river project would be apportioned
sufficient funds to place the river in a
navigable condition.
The most need work on the Trinity
river was impressed on the committee
as being appropriations for lock and
dam No. 7, about fifty miles below
Dallas; another at Porter’s Bluff,
about eighty miles below Dallas, and
one at White Rock shoals, which is
about 175 miles from the mouth of the
Trinity river. The committee has also
asked for not less than $150,000 to
clear the river of snags and other tim-
ber obstructions'; $85,000 for the pur-
pose of enlarging and building a bet-
ter dam at Hnarlcane shoals, All of
which would make a total of $900,000.
This, it is estimated, wonld be suffici-
ent to get along with and have navi-
gable water for eight months each
year. ^ir. Duncan says:
“I have made partial arrangements
with one of the strongest concerns in
the country to pat two fleets of boats
on the Trinity river from Dallas to the
gulf as quick as the timber obstruc-
tions are removed from the river and
there is water enough iu the river so
that these fleets can navigate the
stream without serious hazard.
“I hope that these dangerous, men -
acing timber obstructions will be re-
moved from the river by next Septem-
ber or October, and that the boats will
be running. Both parties who are in-
terested in the navigation of the Trio-
ite river will be here some time in
February or March to make a thorough
inspection of the river from Dallas td
the gulf and determine just what
character of boats will be b98t suited
for navigating the stream.”

/ Falls to Reach Verdict.
Union City, Tenn., Dec. 20—Al-
though twice called upon today for a
verdict the jury in the case of Gar-
rett Johnson and Arthur Cloar is to*
eight apparently as far from a deci-
sion as before the case was given ife
for deliberation. When brought into
court today, one of the jurors asked
if it was permissible for a “majority”
verdict to be iqade. The defense en-
tered strenuous objections to the re-r
mark, insisting every man is entitled
to bis opinion. Judge Jones adman-,
ished the attorneys and the jnry that
the law and evidence had been fully
dealt with in the Court’s charge and
remanded the jury for further deliber-
ation. _■

me no good. I perfer her ingage in
