A local paragraph in last weeks Ban
ner stated that Mr.. w. C. McClenaghan,
now resident of Benton, "slipped off,
to Shreveport last Thursday morning
and took to himself wife. The Banner
said that his bride was a Miss Smith,
extended congratulations, ETC., but be-
yond these bare facts we were not in
formed at that time.
Mrs. McClenaghan' s maiden name was
Gertie Smith and she is daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Smith of Poole. She il
Texas girl, but has resided in Shreve-
port some five or six years. She was
making her home in that city with hel
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. J. w
Langston. The marriage was celebrated
in Parkview Baptist Church at foul
o'clock in the afternoon, Rev. A. D
Hendricks saying the ritual.
The pretty bride is spoken of as ;
young woman of comely demeanor
showing refinement and culture. Sh'
will no doubt make happy the home o
the young gentleman of her choice.
Mr.. McClenaghan is well known II
many of the readers of the Banner as |
steady and industrious young man o
keen business foresight and ability. HI
is destined to some day reach an enviabl
goal in the commercial world. He is o
friendly disposition, a successful nike
and we'll liked in our town and commu
nifty. We congratulate him on his goo
fortune in securing so fair help-meet
and many will join us in best wishes TO
the future happiness and prosperity Q
both.
