Capt. A. F. Maberry Marries-

Last week was a week of sur prises. My old friend Capt. A. F. MabelTy, pulled the biggest of them all when the news came of his marriage to Mrs. Fannie Katlett, at Tulsa, Okla, at the home of the bride. A clever story of the romance of this wedding was given by the Cot ton Plant Democrat, as follows:
 Mrs. Katlett was a widow 60 years of age, and has two sons in France, helping to make this world a safe place to live in. Capt. Maberry is 62 years young and in the opinion of the writer, we think this is one of the dear est weddings to come to our mo- tice since we have been in Cot ton Plant.
 Our informant told us that Capt. Maberry and Mrs. Katlett, nee, Miss Fannie Glass, were schoolmates at La Cross, Ark, forty-four years ago, and were then considered lovers by their friends and schoolmates. Capt. Maberry married twice and Miss Glass once, then in the sweet hapy contented days of pros perity and sunshine there was still a spark of almost extin- guished fire, feebly glimmering in the bottom of their soul, and the story goes of the sly Capt. and the pretty widow who took no offense at his galantries of youth.
