Gently. The guests assembled at the

the facts to Wesley Campbell, a former

him to leave his business for some days,

for Indianapolis, and with the dress and
with the bridesmaids intended for the
other wedding, she was married TO
Campbell. The wedding ring iutrusted
to her by Mccullough was also used in

"a Paper Started to be Run in the Interest of

Special to the Gazette.
HENDERSON, TEX, July 31.-At a
meeting of the executive committee of
the Rusk county alliance to-day the sub
ject of the publication of an alliance
organ with view of representing The IN
terests of East Texas husbandry was de-
bated with much vigor. A strong feeling
of resentment towards the Dallas
Mercury has become manifest en- ac-
count, as they say, of its te=
nacity towards West Texas; hence
the undated earnestness which
has characterized the movement. On a
vote it was decided to publish a paper
under the name of the East Texas Far
mer. The initial number, an eight col
umn folio, appeared some TIME ago as a
prospectus. The contract for publication
was given to Samuel Patton Of this city +,
where the paper VIII also be published, ,
a circulation of 1000 being guaranteed by
the committee.
