Jan. 1900-
On Monday last week at Smith & Swinney’s parlors, Rev. B. N. Haultman united in marriage M. L. Patterson of Caddo vicinity and Mrs. Grace Drummond of New York. A bit of romance is attached to the affair in that the parties to the rites had conducted their courtship by mail. The bride came here and remained a few days in single blessedness before the knot was tied.
(Does that last one seem to imply that the editor knows something about Mr. Patterson?)
