SHERMAN, TEX, Sept. 8O.--At 3
o'clock this afternoon, at the residence
OF the lady's parents on East Mulberry
street, Mr.. Wallace Hendricks of Fort
Worth led Miss Bessie Foute to the
altar and the twain were made one
flesh by the laws OF the realm. Rev.
]. G. Carpenter of the Baptist church
officiated In the solemn and
impressive forms of the Episco-
pal church, this being the wish
of the high contracting parties.
Only a few chosen friends were pres
ent to witness the nnptials, but hun
dreds of Miss Bessie's friends through
out the city lave offered up prayers
aud best wishes for her future happi-
ness and congratulations TO the fortu-
nate young man who has secured
such a lovely prize In the lottery of
married life.

their future home in Fort Worth.
The Golden troupe rendered the
planters Wife, at the opera-house
last night to the best audience of the

We casually heard to day that col
ored gentleman of supposed influence
in the community had been engaged to
canvass his brethren in the county
from now until the election, and that
he had secured O liberal supply of
splrltuous emblems with which to
set the seal OF sancity upon every
compact made and entered into by
and between himself and the parties
OF the second part who are to do the
voting We do not know in whose
interest this active agent is to work
but would not be surprised IL his COM
mission comes from all who chose to
engage him. even II two or more OF his
employers are competing for the same
Office.
That romantic relic of fanatical
zeal bequeathed TO this genera
ton by the campaign of 1874,
whose hoary locks land CORY speech
emphasized his loyalty in 1850 In the
| Indiana canvass, was in this goodly
city last week, taking counsel with
the brethren as to the best mode of
conducting his canvass for governor of
thegreRt state whose society and peo-
pie he abused so roundly then. About
that Indiana canvass we heard a
good story some time
ago. Several Texas gentlemen
were having convivial time at q
hotel la Northern city, and the man
with the hair forty-four years long
was invited TO bury the bloody shirt
for the time and join the boys for one
night only. He Joined, and after O
| time spent in jollity, one of the party
said: ST always liked you Norton UNI
| til that Indiana canvass. Now tell us
how the devil you could say such
! things of your neighbofs In Texas
when you knew you were lying7n
Norton's reply was: "Well, 1 was
engaged to speak there TO break the
effect Of Dick HHbbard's canvass and
answer his arguments, and how the
hi could / do that without lying?p
