solemnized Thursday morning at 9:00
o’clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

The bride is the accomplished daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. West, of
Sulphur Springs. She formerly lived
north of Greenville, where she is well
known for her many womanly traits
and amiable disposition.
The groom is a son of George Chand-
ler, one of the oldest and most highly
respected citizens of the county. He
was reared to manhood and educated
in the High Schools of Hunt county,
and for several years has been associ-
ated withTiis father in the gin busi-

friend in the way of real enjoyment.
Probably he has taken more big game

days his catch was never disappoint-
ing and a visit to the lake meant some
fine big Bass.
