NONNEz.BROWN|NG
Interesting Article Taken From the
Cincinnati Enquirer Concerning
the Engagement Of One Of
Maysville's Sons to Queen
City Lady.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: The
announcement Of the engagement OF
Miss Marie Nonnez and Mr.. John Keith
Browning, of Maysville and Cincin-
nati has proved matter of continual
congratulation ever since, both hav-
ing many friends here and in the
South. Miss Nonnez is the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Nom
nez who for many years lived on ASH
land avenue and but recently moved
to the Navarro, owing to Mrs. Non
nez's illness. The bride elect, who is
extremely pretty, with eyes of for
get-me-not blue and fascinating
vivacity and charm, that are happy
blending of her French ancestry and
her American bringing up, for she has
lived in this country all her life, is in
addition great favorite, her fathers
home being constant scene of in
formal hospitality bringing together
the clans Of her girlhood. She Is
gifted linguist and musician, attain
ments that never override but merely
enhance her dainty feminine graces.
Prof. Nonnez has long been one of
the moving spirits of the Alliance
Franchise in Cincinnati, his position
as head of one Of the departments of
French, under the Board of Education,
giving him special qualifications to be
of service to his country in bringing
to the notice of the land of his adop-
tion the accomplishments and ideals
of his own "patrie."
Mr.. Browning, who is clever dis
tingue and interesting, a graduate of
the College of Engineers of the Uni
versity of Kentucky, class OF 1909, mas
for the past six or seven years been
established in his profession in Gin
cinnati, where he has kept bachelor
hall with Mr. Julian Chinn, a nephew
of Mr.. w. Alexander Julian, and with
| Mr. Harold Dwight, the fiance of Miss
| Rosalind Vail. He is son or Mr.. T.
| p. Browning and the late Mrs. Brown
ing, of Maysville, where, after the
marriage in June, he will accede to his
fathers wishes and join him in the
large business interests which occupy
the family in that charming Kentucky
town. the elder Browning being then
willing to retire from active particpa-
tIon in the commercial world. He is a
delightful type of the old school, erect
and energetic, in spite of his snow
white hair and beard, which although
indicative of the running sands of Time
are nevertheless denied by his frank
laugh, his ruddy coloring and his
well-spring of youth. As Maysville is
so near as to be almost a suburb nj
/ Cincinnati Mr.. Browning and his bride
will often return here, where their
friends would regret to lose sight of
them entirely.

Good Word for Rashor

Here is q bit OF information that
came TO the editor OF the New Era
In q personal letter from a Denver
man who had q little time TO OBJ
serve what was done in the recent
session Of the legislature. II con-
tains q whole lot and we want to
pass It along Just as this friend said
1t. and here it is:
Honestly, Giffin. 1t strikes me
that your Mr.. Bashor. representa-
tive from Otero and Crowley eoun-
ties In our legislature. should be
given credit for the stand he took
in the recent extra session. II was
positively = disgrace to see federal
office holders lobbying on the floor
OF the House trying to discredit q
Democratic governor. and yet II was
a pleasure to see ,the Republican
members OF the House. because they
believed In fairness and loyalty above
petty politics. standing by that Dem
ocratic governor and saving his
face"
Governor Gunter got almost the
same kind OF turn-down in the
house OF representatives which was
handed Governor Ammons by the
Democratic legislature during his
administration. Ammons had to
look for support from members Of
the opposition party and now Gunter
faces the same thing.
Bashor does deserve credit. He
stood by Speaker Best and Governor
Gunter all the way through.-Ord-
