A RECORD BREAKER.
Last Years Sales of Hyomei, the
Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh
Larger Than Ever.

So pronounced is the relief and
cure following the use of Hyomei,
that it has been publicly recon-
mended by leading druggists and
physicians in nearly every state and
town in the country, with the re-
suit that last years sales were lar
ger than ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so simple
and complete, and that it cures ca
tarrh by breathing medicated air
and not taking drugs into the stom-
ach, no doubt has helped to create
this widespread and rapidly increas-
ing army of friends.
You do not risk a penny in test
ing the healing powers of Hyomei,
for Hood & Curtin will sell you a
dollar outfit with a distinct guaran-
tee to refund the money if the treat
ment fails to give satisfaction. 245

Crawford-BenZ.

The following interesting account
of the marriage of a young Ellis
county Methodist preacher, and son
of Mr.. J. B. Crawford, of our city, is
taken from the Nashville Tenneesean
of last week
A marriage characterized by ex-
IRENE simplicity of detail was that
of Miss Dorothea Benz and Rev. Ju-
Illus Earl Crawford, of Bardwel,,
Texas, which was beautifully solem-
nized last evening at o'clock at the
home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Max Benz, in the presence
of limited number of intimate
friends and near relatives, with Rev.
Henry LEM officiating. The reception
rooms were in white and green and
the nuptial service was said before
an altar banked with graceful
palms, ferns, vines and white carna-
tons, and on each side were cath
edral candles. The bride and groom
stood under a large white bell,
which was tied with white ribbon
with streamers suspended to the
back Of the altar. Prof. William
HAIRY was at the piano. Miss Dora
Rasefield sang ooh, Promise Me"
just before the bridal party entered
Miss Bertha Benz, the brides sister,
was maid of honor and wore girl
ish gown of white chiffon over pink
silk, lace trimmed, and carried an
arm boquet of pink carnations and
ferns. Mr.. w. f. Thomas was the
groom's best man.
The bride wore soft gown of
white silk null over taffeta elabor-
ately trimmed with lace. She wore
her mothers wedding veil, which
was gracefully adjusted to her hair
with sprays of valley lilies, and car
ried a bouquet of the same flowers
combined with brides roses.
After the ceremony buffet refresh
ments were served in the dining
room while the bridal tones of
white and green were dominant.
The ices were heart-shaped and the
individual cakes wer decorated in
the lilies of the valley. Many beau
tlful gifts were received.
Rev. and Mrs. Crawford left on
the 1880 train via Memphis. for
Waxahachie, Texas, where they will
visit the groom's parents, before 60
ing to their future home at Bard
well, Tex. The brides travelling
dress was brown tailored cloth
with hat and gloves to harmonic.
