Miss Mary Hale and Joseph SAILS
berry, of the Ruidoso, were married
at the residence of the brides parents
on Christmas Eve. We hope Joe
will always Hale this as the chief
matrimonial event of his life, and the
young bride novcr see the day when

square abreast of her mate. May
their happiness be as unbounded as
their remembrance of the printer
was liberal. The generous samples

on the bottom of his vest and wish
that weddings, like board bills, might
fall due every week.

wherever they would most delight
the eye or highten the effect. Even
the grim, sorrowful-cyed old saints
: seemed to look down from their
pictures on the wall approvingly,
The guests assembled at an early
hour and fun had grown frolicsome
t long before Prof. Montana and his
, band arrived on the scene. The
