Married.

Texas, Sunday 18th inst, by Rev. j. F,
Archer of the Methodist church. Mrs. M.
G. Heermans to D. McNaughton of San
Marcos. No cards
The above announcement from last weeks
Times, took good many of our people by
surprise, as it showed that our neighbour the
senior of that paper, was almost in the
middle of the honeymoon before it became
generally known that he was married, or
had serious matrimonial intentions. Mrs.
Heermans made several visits to this place
during the last sickness of her daughter, the
late Mrs. Watson, and we believe favorably
impressed all who had the pleasure of meet
ing her. Our nelghbor has no doubt drawn
n prize in the matrimonial lottery. The
FREE Press tenders its congratulations and
best wishes to happy pair.
