“At 8:80 o'clock Thursday morning,

was performed by Rev. J. 8. Daugh-
erty, pastor of the Church of Christ
at Dublin, in tise presence of many In-
terested friends and relatives of both
from Dublin, Blanket and Brownwood.
“Mr. and Mrs. Keller were expected
to take the 9:30 Frisco at Blanket,
but instead, aided by a loyal friend
or two, they escaped the rice and old
shoes by slipping away to Comauche
to take the train for Dublin where
they will be at home at once in their
new home, which, completely furnish-
ed, was ready for them.
“The bride, admired and loved by
all who know her, is the eldest of
the three daughters of Mr.
Robert C. Dabney. She was a 1921
graduate of Howard Payne College
where she was noted for her thorough
scholarship and for the two years suc-
ceeding her graduation has been a
valued teacher In the Dublin high
school.
“The groom, who Is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. George L. Keller of Dublin,
holds a responsible position with the
Lewis Moore Cotton Company. He is
also a stockholder in the Kiker-Keller
Dry Goods Company of Dublin. That
he is fully worthy of the splendid girl
he has married is loyally attested by
the various Dublin friends who at-
tended the wedding.
“Many beautiful and useful gifts
were to be seen, while as many more
had been sent to the new home by
Dublin friends.
“Brownwood friends who attended
the wedding were Miss Cleo McChris-
ty, N. M. Merritt, Miss Eulalia Kil-
gore, Miss Adelle Ray and Mrs. G. C.
Skinner."
