Cupid' Victims
It was the writer's pleasure to solemize the rite of matrimony between Mr. Truman
Woods and Miss Cora Lee Robbins in County Clerk Middleton's office last Saturday.
We did not wish them "Sunny skies, balmy winds and smooth sailing on the
matrimonal sea" because we know there will be storms of trouble and sorrow;
dark days of disappointment, adversity and misfortune and heart rending experiences
that are common to all of earth's mortals. But we do wish them all of the happiness
that may grow out of the true observance of the rights and duties of the marital
relation and all the prosperity that may result from lives of industry and frugality.
The sunshine of true love will brighten even sorrow's blackest cloud, make lighter
the load of care and breach through the shadows of adversity's dark valley.
May their names never appear in the divorce records of our country, but as they
share the joys and sorrows, the pleasures and the pains, the successes and the
failures of mortal life together, may the union into which they have entered
grow stronger and stronger until in very truly they shall pass as one, into
the valley of shadows and out into the great unknown leaving behind them a record
of true companionship of noble citizenship and of uplifting lives, the memory
of which among their neighbors, friends and loved ones shall be like "apples
of gold in pictures of silver."

Popular Young Couple Marry
Cupid has been working full time during the past few days and the affects of
the shots from his little bow is being made manifest by numerous weddings during
the pre-holiday period. Among the numerous weddings was that of Robert Clements
and Miss Ruth Hart, Preacher Shepherd tieing the nuptial knot at Tahoka last
Friday night. It was known that these popular young people had been sweetheearts
for some time, but even their most intimate friends did not think they contemplated
matrimony and when they slipped away Friday evening and were made man and wife,
it was a surprise to all. Mrs. Clements is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W.C.
Hart and has lived in this section practically all her life and is loved by
all who know her. Talented and educated she is capable of making home all that
it should be for the lucky man who won her love. Mr. Clements came here a little
more than a year ago from Emory, and since that time has been connected with
the C.E. Ray tailoring business, and for a time was part owner of the cleaning
and pressing department of that establishment. Bob proved himself a winner while
in business for himself and he proved that he is a winner in gaining the confidence
and love of the girl he married, all of which goes to show that he is going
to be a winner in life's business world. These young people have the best wishes
of a host of friends that their new venture may prove successful and that their
path be strewn with flowers unto the end. Mr. and Mrs. Clements spent a few
days at Colorado before returning to occupy the home that Mr. Clements had provided.---O'Donnell
