and everything has progressed very
jvell until the present, as the enclosed
newspaper clipping will show.
I have met a; few of the boys from
Texas out here and all seem to be do
ing well. If I can help you in any
way in placing gradual .s, let me know.
I beg to remain,
Yours respectfully,
CHAS. P. KELLY.

good you were to him when he was
at College and needed help, so I just
want to thank you for all you have
done for him.

The clipping reads as follows:
Interesting Wedding.
A marriage out of the ordinary took
place in Montgomery Thursday even
ing at/ 9 o’clock at the rectory of the
Episcopal Church, which will be of in
terest to a number of friends of the
groom in Selma, notes The Selma Jour
nal.
Mr. C. P. Kelly of Selma was mar
ried to Miss Theresa Witte of New
York City. The ceremony was per
formed by Dr. Stewart McQueen, pas-
tor of the Holy Comforter Episcopal
Church. Owing to pressing business
obligations Mr. Kelley was unable to
go for his bride, so they compromised
and Miss Witte met him in Montgom
ery Thursday evening, arriving on the
8:30 train from New York. Mr. Kelley
with an old college mate, Representa
tive Moore of Fayette, and Senator
Green of Selma, met the bride and ac
companied her to her hotel. Later the
party repaired to the Episcopal rec
tory, where the marriage was per
formed with the beautiful Episcopal
ceremony. In the absence of any rel
atives of the bride, Hon. J. W. Green
had the honor of giving her away.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelley left Montgom
ery for their home near Selma on the
Range Line road, where they will be
at home to their friends. Mr. Kelley is
the efficient manager of Dr. Harper’s
stock farm and is greatly esteemed as
a young man of splendid business
qualifications. He is a graduate of
the Texas College of Agriculture.
The bride is a charming little wom
an and was a pretty picture of dainty
girlishness in her bridal robes and car
rying a shower bouquet of bride’s
roses.
Mr. Kelley and his bride were child
hood sweethearts and time nor dis
tance has been able to diminish their
attachments.
Their friends extend hearty congra-
ulations and best wishes for their hap
piness.

GETTING TOGETHER.
The delegates who returned from
A. & M. College are one in their state
ments that they were handsomely
trated by the cadets. It seems from
all accounts that the cadets are good
fellows, and that they do not bite the
faculty on the angle when in a rage,
as some of our folks seem sometimes
°WI II 182 9A\. jauoos arij, 'siuiq} oi
our heads that they are nothing more
or less than big, healthy Texas boys
made out of pretty much the same
clay as we ourselves are the sooner
will our silly troubles be at an end.
The meeting of the State Y. M. C.
A. delegates at College Station was
a good thing for the University. It
was a good thing for A. & M. The
fact is, we believe that the oftener
the two institutions have a chance to
get together as guest and host the
sooner they will come to a solid un
derstanding.
If we treat A. & M. always in the
same spirit that they treated our Y.
M. C. A. boys, A. & M. will never have
any reason to complain of the Uni
versity. Let’s get together. — Daily
