Married in Kansas City
Pawnee, Okla., Jan. 2.—Con-
gressman bird S. McGuire of
this the First Oklahoma district,
was married at 4 o'clock th s
afternoon in Kansas City to Mrs.
Ruby R. Machette, at the home
of her i>arents, Prof, and Mrs.
Joseph T. Ridgway, 803 East
Forty-seventh street. The wed-
ding was a very quiet event, on-
ly a few of the intimate friends
of the bride being present. Mr.
and Mrs. McGuire left immedi
ately for the East and will reach
Washington the latter part of
this week.
Mrs. Machette was Congress-
man McCuire's committee clerk
in Washington during the past
two years and had the distinc-
tion of being the only woman
committee clerk in congress.
Jess Rogers returned Monday
from Richmond, Ind., where he
has been some time, visiting.
Mr. Rogers stole a march on his
friends and was quietly married
while there, on the 27th of De-
cember, to Miss Augusta Sie-
weke of that city. Mrs. Rogers
will join her husband here about
the hist of March and will make
this their home. We are in-
formed that Mr. Rogers will open
another meat market in the
near future in the building va-
cated by the Yale theatre a few-
months since.
The Baptist Ladies Aid Soci-
ety has secured as the second
number of their lyceum course
the Quaker Male Quartette.
This is endorsed by the press of
the nation as among the finest
entertainments on the American
platform platform today. They
are dated to appear *t the opera
house here under the auspices
of the above society on the 14th
of January.
The public installation of the
Eastern Star officers, for which
invitations were out on the first
of January, took place last Fri.
day night before<a large and ap-
preciative gathering. The cer
emonies were grand and well
carried out. A spread was had
after the installation. Our so-
ciety editor failed to show up
this week and for this reason
the Democrat is unable to give
a full and detailed roport of this
elaborate and much looked-for
affair,
PROBABLE CITY
CANDIDATES
Rumbles of the coming April elec-
tion for city officers are already being
heard.
A mayor, city attorney, city marshal,
police judge and eight aldermen are
to be elected.
The reporter has been informed that
neither Mayor Hightower nor City
Clerk Wettermark will stand for re-
election. We have heard no name
mentioned as the mayor's probable
successor, but that the office of city
clerk will not go begging for good rot
terial is presaged by the fact that
Messrs. Rus Mitchell and Mac Wil-
liamson, two of the most highly es
teemed young men of the city, are
prospective candidates, we are in-
formed.
It is also reported probable that Joe
Hughes will make the race for city
marshal against J. K. Roberts, the
present incumbent.
Messrs. Monroe Osborne, present
city attorney by appointment of the
city council to succeed Hon. Jno. M.
Stanley, now county attorney, and Bob
Wallace, who represented this county
in the last legislature, will likely con-
tend with each other for the honors
and emoluments of the city attorney's
office.
The place of police Judge will be
sought bv Judge T. L. Kendall, the
present incumbent. We have heard
of no candidate against him.
We have heard nothing said about
the positions as aldermen.
Burks-Grant
On last Sunday evening at 9 o'clock
sharp Mr. Will Burks of Maysville and
Miss Mattie Grant were quietly mar-
ried at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fro-
man Grant. The groom-elect was for-
merly one of Pauls Valley's most
highly esteemed young men, and the
bride is the beautiful daughter of the
late Mr. Calvin Grant, one of the old-
time and honored citizens of the
place,
While the marriage did not come
altogether rs a surprise, as it had been
talked of for quite awhile, yet it was a
surprise to a great many.
Mr. Tom Connor sang "0, Promise
Me" in a very touching manner, and
Mendelsohn's "Wedding March" was
rendered by Miss Maud Witten. The
attendants Were Tom Connor and Miss
Nora Grant, Will Wilson and Miss Viv
ian Garvin, Earl Witten and Miss Row
ena Burks.
Rev. Pitts of the Presbyterian
Church performed the impressive cer
emony which made the twain man and
wife. The bride was dressed in a
gorgeous gown of white satin and
spangled net. Never did she look
more beautiful than on this most
solemn and eventful occasion.
It was strictly a quiet affair as no one
except the immediate family relatives
ww ir.yited.
Just as the clock struch twelve all
repaired to the handsome dinningroemi
which was decorated in ferns and
beautiful carnations for the occasion.
A delicious supper was served. Mrs.
Froman Grant sustaining her reputation
as a gracious and charming hostess.
They all sat around until train time
when the Bride and Groom were hur-
ried away to the station .in an automo
bile to catch the 3:10 train for Okla-
homa City, and while departing were
showersd wtth an unlimited amount of
rice and shoes etc.
We wish a long, happy and pros
perous life for the newly wedded
couple. Contributed.
Gel the habit. Hamly is going.
Refunding Bond Issue
Perhaps the most irupottant
step taken by ihe menu, rs <>f
the new Commissioner'' Court
which began its work Tuesday
was its resolution to issue about
$50000.00 of refunding bonds to
pay Garvin County's outstand-
ing current account indebted-
ness.
The bonds were contracted for
sale and will be issued as soon as
legal formalite8 can be complied
with and w ithin 60 days war-
rants, is believed, can be issued
and paid at par for present out-
standing accounts.
Get the habit. Hamly is going.
Coming, January 11th, tho
original Quaker Male Quartette.
Something fine.
