SMITH-SMITH.
A Pretty Home Wedding at Quanah
on Christmas Day.
On Wednesday, December 26,
1901, at Quanah, occurred the So-
cial event of the season, when B. H.
Smith, the popular young grocery
clerk in Smith, Walker & Co,'s
store.at this place, and Miss Mollie
Smith or Quanah were united in the
bonds of holy matrimony.
The impressive ceremony was
performed at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr, and Mrs. W. W. How-
ard at 8:30 in the evening in the
presence of about seventy-five ad-
miring friends of the deservedly
popular young couple, the Rev. Fer-
guson, pastor of the Quanah Metho-
dist church, officiating.
The bride is a beautiful and ac-
complished young society lady of
Quanah and will be greatly missed
in the "400" of that thriving little
city, but Quanah's loss is Hereford's
gain.
The happy young couple left the
following day for their future home,
arriving here on Friday last, being
accompanied by Miss Ivy Norton, a
niece of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Norton
of this place, and where the newly
married couple are now stopping for
the present.
Mr. Smith is building a cosy cot-
tage on his lots near the school
house and when finished will be oc-
cupied by him and his fair bride.
They have the congratulations
and well wishes of a host of friends,
including the Reporter, who will
wish them a long and useful voyage
on the sea of life in that good ship—
State of Matrimony.
The presents, which were many
and useful, were as follows:
Cook stove (a compliment from
the firm and employes of Smith,
Walker & Co.), silver card holder
and one hundred cards bearing the
inscription "Mrs. Berne Henry
Smith," photograph album, onyx
clock, piano lamp, banquet lamp,
pair of embroidered head rests, set
of silver knives and forks, set of
china plates, two china cake 'plates,
linen table cloth and napkins, set of
silver napkin rings, embroidered
Battenburg sofa pillow, pair linen
towels, pair of scissors, two silver
sugar spoons, 8-piece toilet set,
folding bed, pair embroidered bed-
¿room scarfs, embroidered center ta-

A Substantial Compliment.
D. H. Nichols, the retiring Vice-
president and general manager ot
the Pecos System, is one of the most
popular railroad men in the West.
Last Friday night, at Amarillo',
representatives from every branch
Of the service on the system called
on Mr. Nichols and presented him
with $500 in $20 gold pieces, the
presentation speech being made by
Hamlin Palmer.—Roswell Register.
Bear in mind, that with the faster
time and close connections, the Santa
Fe is the quickest route to all points
leading to Kansas City, St. Louis,
Chicago and New York, by twelve
to twenty-four hours. 44tf
The Hereford Meat Market.
Our townspeople should bear in
mind, when buying meats, that M.
O. Meeks keeps constantly on hand
all kinds of choice meats at reason-
able prices, We understand that
several of our farmers are peddling
meat around town and in some in-
stances, perhaps, sell their meat at
a little less than the market could
afford to sell. But patrons of these
peddlers should remember that dur-
ing the warm weather it takes a
great deal of ice to keep meat from
spoiling and unless the market can
get trade in the winter it will have
to close up, and when summer comes
there would be a meat famine be-
cause these peddlers cannot do busi-
ness in the summer. Withal, Mr.
Meeks is a progressive, public-
spirited business man and deserves
your patronage. Give it to him.

CASTRO TELEPHONE CO.
Was Organized on Thursday, Dec.
1 26.—Will Connect Dimmitt.
On Thursday, Dec. 26, parties
living on the line from here to Dim-
mitt met at the office of the Here-
ford Telephone Co. and organized a
stock company for the purpose of
putting in a telephone service be-
tween here and Dimmitt. An ar-
rangement was made between this
company and the Hereford Tele-
phone Company whereby connec-
tions can be made between the two
lines.
This will be a boon to Dimmitt
and Castro county people, as it will
save many a twenty-mile drive for a
physician or other much wanted per-
sonages or articles. The line will
be put in immediately.
Notice.
All parties knowing themselves
indebted to us will please call and
settle. We do not wish to run any
unnecessary expense on any one,
hence this notice. Resp'y,
4°tf D. R. Cass & Sons.
An Enjoyable Affair.

sembled at the palatial home of Mr.

Games, music and social chat were
the order of the evening.
