The Marriage of Mr. Early and
Miss Morris Grandly Cele-
brated. At Christ church last evening was
solemnized one of the most fashionable
weddings that has occurred in that
sacred edifice for years the contracting
parties being Mr. A. J. Early of Waco
and Miss Cora P. Moiris of Houston.
The church was filled to its utmost ca
pacity there being many who could not
gain admittance to witness tne nuptial
ceremony. A canopy stretched from
the street to the main entrance under
which a carpet was laid along tho entiro
walk. The interior of the building
was beautifully decorated with flowers
and overgreens furnished and design-
ed under tho supervision of Mr. Wright
Tho bride and groom stood under a
large and handsome floral bell which
was composed of tho choicest calla lil-
ies camelia japonicas while tho tongue
was one solid ball of sweet violets.
The bridal party reached tho church at
7:30 o'clock in the following order the
ushers leading : Messrs. Spencer
Hutchins and L. T. Tune H. R. Dupre
and Paul Timpson Dr. 11. W. Knox
and B. 11. Latham. Then came Mr.
A. O. Riffel and MisB II. Perl. Mr. B.
P. Morris and Miss Abbio Hill Mr. Si
PacVard and Miss Kate Botts Mr. Lee
Wilson and Miss Wcttermark Mr.Wm.
L. Hallpike and Miss Libbie Shearn
and Mr. Robert Brooks and Miss
Frankio Graham of Waco. Mr. Early
followed with Mrs. J. 11. Morns tho
mother of tho bride leaning on his

Reply to "Progress."
Kd. KcnliigKewfl.
In answer to the criticism of "Prog
ress and "Jones on tiling win sim
ply say that they do not talk liko men
who know practically anything about
it. If thev had seen thousands of
miles of it laid in almost all kinds of
soil and perfectly drain the sloughs
bogs and ponds they would not talk as
they do. Thoy tell us that this Texas
soil is not porous and as a consequence
tho water will not gravitate downward
to tiling. A greater error never en
tered the brain of any man. Tho soil
of all kinds in Texas is perforated
with millions of insect and worm-holes
everywhere besides do they not know
that where soil tails to take in water
it is useless for vegetation? The
fact that it is tho most porous of soils
is why it is so fertile. Tho scientific
theory of underground drainage is
simply this. Fill a barrel full of per
fectly dry and pulverized black waxy
soil and it will hoid from 80 to 100 per
cent of its weight in water before it bo-
comes saturated. Now bore a few
holes in the middle of the barrel and it
drains off tho surplus water above the
holes and if you bore the holes at the
bottom of the barrel all the surplus
water drains oil and leaves the soil in
good condition for tho growth of vege-
tation. You would not undcrtako to
raiso flowers in a pot or barrel without
holes in the bottom to carry off the
surplus water from tho soil simply be-
cause the plant must have ventilation
from the soil as well as from abovo it.
For instance surround an elm tree with
water for a year and it dies and so
with most plants and why because
they cannot breathe from the soil oi
in other words there is no ventilation
or air about their roots.
Now if the water in tho barrel or
flower pot will percolate through tho
soil to the holes at the bottom so will
tho water gravitate to tho tiles and be
carried off leaving the ground in good
condition for crops or roads. Last
March I dug a ditch from two to three
feet in depth from my kitchen
to the alley and put in a brick
drain covered it up and planted
Bermuda grass over it. (The
soil as black as any in Waco.)
During all tho heavy rains since the
water goes through tho sou rke a
sieve into tho brick drain and flows
into the alley and my yard is freo
from water and mud. You may now
pour out fifteen barrels of watt rover it
and in ten minutes you will not seo a
drop of water over tho drain or you
may let a hose run all day over it and
tho water goes through the soil to the
drain as fast as it leaves tho hose.
Now if this black soil was not very
purous would it drain in that manner?
Tile acts precisely in tho same manner
for we have thoroughly demonstrated
both Kinds of drainage and havo seen
millions of aero of tho best land in tho
United states drained by it and made
to blossom as tho rose. We have mil
lions ot acres of wet land in Texas and
tho frogs now havo possession and we
will have to give them a deed for it if
we don t tile. My Cntio suggests
asphalt etc. That would bo fine but
docs he not know that would cost more
than to ship cobble stones from Now
England? Philadelpnia avenue in
Washington City is mado of asphalt
and smooth as a floor but it cost piles
of money. We favor creamcriei sugar
mills and manufacturing of all kinds
but without better roads I fear they
would bo a sad failure.
Yours for better roads II
Col. R. J. Sledge ana tne sugar
Factory.
I fear our citizens do not fully realize
the importance of tho sugar factory
proposed by Col. R. J. Sledgo. I
claim no special knowledge of tho
plan of making sugar out of sorghum
beyond tho well-known fact that simi-
lar factories in other places havo prov-
on to bo sp'.endid investments.
But I do knov Col. Sledge intimate-
ly as a man a citizen and financier
and ho is a success. Ho has more than
any othor man built up the beautiful
village of Kyle with its churches and
schools. No man in Texas has tho
confidence of more farmers than Col.
Sledge. Ho is a man of fortune and
knows how to makr and invest money.
If tho sugar factory is located here he
will probably become a citizen of Waco.
One such man as Col. Sledge is worth
$100000 to Waro. Ho would at
once begome a co-laborer of such noblo
public spirited men as Jas. B. Baker
Ed. Rotan Wm. M. Cameron and oth
ers to whom Waco owes her present
prosperity.
Then I trust every man who fool
an interest in tho futuro prosperity of
Waco will lend a helping hand to the
Waco Sugar Factory.

Tho massive St. Bornard dog Piln-
limmon a prominent fcaturo of the
play of Our Fritz was taken an airing
on tho streets this morning and excit-
ed great attontion. An idea of the
massive size of tho animal may be
gathorcd from tho fact that several ex-
cited boys asked what animal it was
and wcro incredulous when told it was
a dog. The superb animal has a re-
markably gentlo and intelligent look
and to sec him is a treat to thoso who
never saw ono ot this rare breed famed
the world over in song and story.
PERSONALS.
A Full House.
J. K. Emmet in the famous play
"Our Fritz" last night played to a
very full house fully justifying his well
established reputation as the prince of
comedians. Ho was received with
enthusiasm and the play has lost none
of its old attractions. Tho large au-
dience was delighted beyond measure.
A novel feature was tho introduction
in the play of a massive St. Bernard
dog ono of tho finest o" that famous
breed. Tho big crowd on such a night
as last night is a flattering testimonial
to the actor and play and showed what
a hold both have on public favor. The
play will bo repeated to-night and it is
safo to say tho audience will bo re
peated and most likely greatly aug
mented.
