The Editors Point of View

Rio Grande News of Eagle Pass, Texas,
throws some light on the way editors
are apt to feel about writing up events
which seem commonplace but which
are the event of lifetime to some other
fellow. In this instance the editor in
dulged his feelings in writing up his
own wedding. If you will notice, an
editor who gets married, generally pre-
vents anything more than passing no.
tice of his wedding being published in
the paper he controls, for that is one
case in which he is sure there will be no
kick made ifhe reduces the statement
to the simple truth. After stating who
was married, the Texan says:
1t was quiet wedding neither the
bride nor the groom raised any row about
it, The bride was dressed in tailor
made dress of some sort of off colored
stuff. She had another dress, but pre-
ferred wearing this one because it would
also serve as travelling dress and she
wouldn't have to change. Don't know
whether she looked beautiful in it or
not, we were watching the preacher.
Hearsay testimony IS to the effect that
she looked about as pretty as nature
would permit The groom wore black
suit, gloves and scared look. The look
was assumed. The suit was bought. He
has it yet.
Immediately after the ceremony the
newly welded couple repaired to the
depot newly welded couples always
srepair' to the depot-other folks just
go TO the depot to take the train for
New Orleans and the Mardi Gras. The
train was already taken by other people,
but they were permitted to ride, be.
cause Col. Anderson had furnished them
with passes. Col. Anderson is great
Lelever in immigration along the line
of the Southern Pacific.
The bride is the eldest daughter of A.
w: Murray of Floresville- there are two
younger daughters, but they are mar
ried. She is the best cook we ever met.
Even our ma agrees with US III this
statement. She is also crackajack of
a housekeeper. She is a good girl in ali
other respects. We boarded at her
house for three years and '1row what we
are talking about The only mystery
about the thing is, how the groom ever
got her. In an unguarded moment he
got her to promise to marry him, and
that she stuck to it even after having
time to think it over proves her an hon
orable woman Outside Of the groom's
ma, she is the best woman in this world.
She comes from spl lid family, a
family having only one dark spot in its
history. She has brother who, for
eight long years, served in the Texas
legislature, and just when the folks
thought his time was out and that he
could stay at home and live it down, he
was sentenced to serve four years more
as state senator. We don't know what
for, and don't believe he does, but all
join in the hope that it will soon be for
gotten.
The groom is the best all aronnd news
paper man and printer in the state of
Texas. We are not ashamed to make
this statement because we have it on
good authority--he admits it himself.
He has few friends who will rejoice
in his good fortune, few enemies who
will envy him, and the great mass Of peo-
pie don't give continental one way or
the other. The bride has the heartfelt
sympathy Of her friends and relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. Boehmer will travel as
far as their passes will permit, and return
to Eagle Pass, their future home, when
they have spent all they feel able to
spend and still have enough left to be-
