A romantic wedding occuced
at the northwest corner of the
plaza early yesterday afternoon
at which only two persons were
present beaidea the contracting
parties and the preacher. The
groom lives in the south part of
the county at Cunningham and
the bride’s home was in Hunt
county. The marriage was the
culmination of a romance which
started a few months ago.
While a resident of Paris was
traveling on the train he met a
comely widow about thirty five
years old. They had never met
before, but in the course of con-
versation she confided to him
that she was a widow and had
had a hard struggle, ani that
she wouldn’t object to getting
married again if she met the
right kind of a man and could
get a home. The Paris inan,
who was married, was favorably
impressed with her and when he
got home he told a friend about
| her, who was a widower,and rec
ommended her to him. His
friend said that lie was not on
the carpet, but lie had a friend
whom lie told about her and he
wrote to the Hunt county widow
whose name and and address
had previously been secur
ed. She answered the letter and
a correspondence was kept up
which resulted in their marriage.
The widow came in on the
Texas Midland train at noon and
the Cunningham man met her at
the depot armed with a marriage
license. The bride said that
she didn't want to go to the
courthouse to lie married by a
justice of the peace, nor did she
desire to go to a parsonage to be
married. The groom was ac-
quainted with Rev. J. VV. Wilson,
formerly of Emerson, who drives
a job wagon, and lie asked her if
he would do. She said he would
and when they reached the nor
thwest corner of the plaza he
was called oil his wagon and
stepped around the corner of the

THE DEVIL’S SOLILOQUY
(By J. S. Bonnku.)
(Suggested by hearing a man speak disparagingly of a
Kirf.)
One nigllt as the Devil sat musing alone,
In the midst of his cozy warm fire,
Trying to figure the difference in guilt
’Tween a thief and an all around liar.
His memory turned to the scenes of his youth.
Ami his eyes filled with hot scalding tears,
So he took down his ledger, and turned to a page,
Dated hack about six thousand years.
“I suppose,” he exclaimed, as he glanced through the
hook,
“I'm doing the best that I can,
For my business denotes a continual increase
Ever since the creation of Man.
I've cribbed a good harvest for six thousand years,
And should be content with the yield,
Ami give mV opponent permission to have
The gleanings I leave in the field.
I’ve gathered a very diversified crop
Of merchants and lawyers galore;
I’ve bound politfcians in bundles until
Ti.e ends of my fingers are sore.
I’ve fiddlers, gamblers, and insurance men,
I've murderers, <6rgers, and liars,
And filled up my furnace with green populists
’Till they actually put out the fires.
I ve railroad conductors, and doctors to spare,
Horse tradeis and preachers to spend,
Republicans, democrats, tories, and whigs--
And two or three newspaper men.
Rut there is one class, I aim happy to say,
Who never gain entrance here,
Their souls are so dirty, I'm sure that they would
Demoralize Hell in a year.
T refer to that ‘thing’— neither human or beast—
That carrion crow of the world,
Who never is happy, unless he can feast
On the reputation of an innocent girl.
A million of years in my warmest of rooms
His slanders would never atone;
So I give him a match, and advise him to start
A Select little Hell of His own.”
With his finger he lit an asbestos cigar,
And placing his book on a shelf,
He muttered "I may be a very bad man,
But I’ve got some respeot for myself.’
