| =MR. CRAIG WEDS MISS SCHELL= |
| |
|Mr. Joe Craig and Miss Cora Schell, both of Mena, |
|were quietly married at the Hotel Main, Durant, |
|Okla., Monday, and are boarding at this hotel. Mr. |
|Craig is well known as a skilful bricklayer, honest |
|and industrious. The bride is well known in this |
|city and proved her worth by the years she served |
|the Lochridge Dry Goods Company as cashier. She is a|
|member of the Woodmen Circle and carries a large |
|insurance. We regret that she must leave, but like |
|Rebekah of old, she leaves home, family, and friends|
|to travel the journey of life with her "Isaac" (Joe)|
|in a distant land. We feel that the expression of |
|all her friends is that the best this world affords |
|will be theirs to the end of their journey and that |
|a new life awaits them in another and higher sphere.|

a sentence to every other phrase in it and adjoining sentences; if he
