	At the Baptist church Sunday night at 8:30, after the usual services, Mr. T.E. Simpson
	 and Miss Lyda M. Smith appeared at the altar and were united as husband and wife, 
	 Rev. J.H. Edmonds officiating.
	Sunday morning at 11 o’clock at the First Baptist church of Anson, Rev. J.H. Edmond 
	spoke the words that linked together the lives and destinies of Mr. Ed Stites of 
	Abilene, and Miss Anna M. Spurling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Spurling, of 
	Oak Grove community.
	Sunday evening at 3 o’clock Mr. W.P. Bibles and Miss Lola Culpepper drove up to the 
	residence of Rev. J.H. Edmonds in south Anson and were united in the holy bonds of wedlock.

In a recent meeting of the Church session of the First Presbyterian Church of Stamford,
 Dr. J.A. Ward was unanimously elected Pastor Emeritus. This is in keeping with a
  practice among Presbyterians especially on the part of congregations where ministers 
  have spent their last years in the active ministry and are held in such esteem as 
  Dr. Ward is here. Though this is an honor to our retiring from active service rather 
  than a duty thrust upon him, yet it is hoped the doctor can make it convenient also 
  to be with and preach for the congregation occasionally.
