ceremony, when Dallas lost one of her fair
est and most lovely daughters Miss Mamie

of the original incorporators and directors
OF the Chicago, Texas & Mexican Central
Railway, was married to Mr.. H. w.

is editor of the Journal of Commerce of
that mountain city, and young gentle
man of high promise in the profession of
journalism, The bride, although she has
been resident of our city little more
than year. has by her amiable
and gentle manner endeared herself to her
many friends, and her absence will make
a vacuum in society that will be difficult to
fill. She leaves for her new home in the
mountains OF the chilly North with the
sincere and heartfelt wish OF her friends
that her pathway through life with her
chosen partner may be strewn with roses,
and that the thorns that sometimes beset
the average traveller through this vale Of
tears may be, by kind Providence, cleared
from their pathway rs they Journey to-
gether down the river to the other side.
The bride was attired in a handsome and
stylish travelling suit ofseal-brown cashmere
ana MORE antique, Il seal-brown plush hat
to match, with long, heavy ostrich plumes,
shading to deep olive. She wore an ele-
CANT black satin matelesay fur.lined circu-

church. Only Il few personal friends were
present to witness the ceremony.
The bride wore for ornaments, diamonds
and pearls. Mrs. Robb was attired in a
dress of black satin and velvet,
with like ornaments of the bride.
We congratulate Mr.Mitchell on the prize
he has Won, and extend to the happy pair
the sincere wishes of the HERALp for a
happy and prosperous future, What is TO
Dallas loss is Tor Denver gain. Mr..
and bride left on the evening train,
via the Missouri Pacific, last evening, for
their new home, Denver. Colorado.
