MARRIED UNDER THE TREES
Sitting in Buggy Popular Young PeO-
pie Plight Their TrOth. A
Romantic Affair.

Quite a romantic occurrence was
the marriage Wednesday of Mr.. G.
E. Mask and Miss Mary Murdoch.
The ceremony took place under the
oaks in front of the public school
building, the principals remaining
seated in the groOm's buggy while the
words that made them man and wife
were spoken by Rev. w. F. Smith.
A friend of the couple called at the
home of Rev. Mr.. Smith and re-
quested him to 60 out and marry a
couple near the college, and the min
lister thinking the parties lived some
where in that locality accompanied the
gentleman. To his surprise, he found
the waiting couple seated in a buggy
in front of the school building, and
learned that they had driven into
town just few minutes before. So
there the ceremony was performed.

The Last Occasion of the Kind, Per-

The barbecue given under the di-
rection of Mr.. CrOwell Lundy. on Mr..
]. W. Wootens plantation, Wednes-
day, was a big success. Besides those
from Dawson and vicinity, number
of gentlemen from Albany and else
where attended. Mr.. Lundy is an
adept in affairs of this kind, and his
preparations embraced everything to
make the day a pleasant one.
The crop that has been made on
this place by Mr.. Lundy is one Of the
best in the state and attracted much
attention, and was unstintedly praised
by those who saw it. From 800 acres
between 500 and 900 bales of cotton will
be gathered, and considerable part
of it will yield bale to the acre. 1t is
one of the finest exhibitions of good

"Well, I should say sol" Sherman
county is all right. Her soil is the
richest in the world. Her water is the
purest and most wholesome. Her eli
mate is excellent and extremely health
full and her people are growing rich
with prosperity.
Cattle, hogs, sheep, horses, poultry
and various crops are the source of
their wealth and the thousands of dol
lars derived from the cream industry
should not be overlooked. Taking
into consideration the facilities for
stock growing, we possess many ad-
vantages over all other countries.
Here we raise horses, cattle and sheep,
with but very little feed except the buff
falo grass which grows in great profu-
sion and is the most nutritious of all
grasses. Hogs and poultry succeed
here admirably, there being but little
disease among them.

twenty years ago and after a short resi-
dence I was not very favorabIy i'm

where peoples yards were full of beau

of the big red apple away down in the
heart of old Missouri. So I found this
a very new country and none Of those
things were awaiting my coming, con
sequently I sought other fields. How
ever, in due time I returned and began
to study the soil and climate.
Knowing that there was a vast sub
terranean ocean of water underlying
the surface Of the whole country, I tried
to conceive of some plan whereby II
could be made practicable to elevate a
portion of this water and apply It to
the most productive soil on earth and

can do just as we'll as we have done

better opportunities offered for the

prefer the actual settler to the specula-

make money easier than he can farm

Since coming here have devoted my
time to farming and stock raising and

along these lines. I have also raised
crops ever year except the year of 1894
which was a failure. Ny best yield of
wheat was A bushels per acre, and I
have raised 40 bushels of oats from
two bushels of sowing. I have also
