PAUL-CAMPRELL
The many friends, as well as
the relatives of Mias Pearl
Paul, one of Rockdale’s moat
beautiful and talented girls, were
surprised to learn of her wedding
at Temple last Sunday, where
she was married to Mr. Roy
Campbell, a prominent business
man and capitalist of that city.
Miss Paul was teaching in the
public schools of Temple.
Miss Paul is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Paul, of this
city, and was reared here. She

her friends are legion, all of
whom will join The Reporter in

minister, at his home Sunday
evening, and the happy couple

Houston, San Antonio and other
South Texas points, and are ex-

Kemp for County Clerk
Jeff T. Kemp, the present in-
cumbent, announces with us this
week as a candidate for re-elec-
tion to the office of county clerk
of Milam couuty. If there over
was an official who did not need
a “write-up” it is big, jolly, big-
hearted Jeff Kemp, but The Re-
porter cannot present his name
as a candidate without saying
that among all the public officials
that Matchless Milam has ever
had there never was a better of-
ficer or more popular man than
in May. We are going to try to
have a good one. and want every
one that can, and will, to come.
