In the Circuit court, last week, James HOGAN and Henry BRIGGS were made full citizens of the United States. The prosecuting witness in the case of the State vs.. Matt. QUINN not having been found, the defendant was discharged on his own recognizance, and the cause continued. No other cases were disposed of. MARRIED - At De Soto, November 5, 1884, by Rev. George STEELE, Mr. H.M. BORNGESSER of St. Louis and Miss Mary BERG of Palestine, Texas. November 13, 1884, at the residence of the Bride's mother, At Queen City, Texas, by Rev. Perry HAWKINS, Mr. William BEAUCHAMP and Miss Dora DUGAN, all of Cass County, Texas. The bride will be remembered as a popular young schoolmam of this county. 'Squire McFARLAND does not intend to let the Hillsboro justice crow over him any length of time in sugar and coffee money, and hence he sent us the following two marriage notices: At the residence of the bride's mother, in Central township, November 11, 1884, Mr. Thos. DODSON of Washington County and Miss Mary DICKEMANN of Jefferson County; at the 'Squire's office in Big River township. November 13, 1884, Mr. Sammie B. CRAIG and Miss Irene JOHNSON. November 13, 1884, at the bride's residence, near Hillsboro, Mr. Elias F. HONEY and Miss Medora BOOTH. Rev. J.C. DOWNER performed the ceremony in his incomparable style and very impressive manner. In addition to the families of the contracting parties there were present J. Ed. WALKER and wife, J.R. GORDON and wife, W.L. STONE and wife, and Misses Emma GIBSON, Anna GORDON and Nannie WILLIAMS. The wedding supper was a grand affair and, as all were seated at once and there was no occasion for haste, we think it safe to remark, that there were at least twenty square meals carried away in addition to what went inside ye editor's vest. The bride and groom were a handsome couple, and, as far as human knowledge extends, are well worthy of each other, and that is saying as much for them as can be said. Mr. HONEY was fortunate enough to be elected Recorder of this county at the late election, but the vote which secured him a life partner is the vote he should cherish more than all others. We wish them a long and happy life here, and never-ending bliss in the life beyond the vail. DIED - BUER - November 11, 1884, at Maxville, after a short illness of typhomalaria. Albert BUER, aged 19 years and 9 1/2 months. Albert was highly esteemed by all who knew him and his funeral, which took place at the Catholic cemetery in Maxville, was one of the largest ever seen at that place. The Maxville B.B.C. is in morning, he having been one of their most valued members. HOUSE'S SPRING - Martin DENISON, an unlucky boy, lost his pocket book, containing$34. Finder will greatly oblige by returning same. WEDNESDAY, 26 NOVEMBER 1884 Mr. Richie McMULLIN of Jefferson county is here having his eyes treated by Dr. FUGATE. - Farmington NEWS. We received a postal cared from P.A. HILDERBRAN, changing his address from Lane to Centropolia, Kansas. He teaches school at the latter place. 'Squire RANKIN united in wedlock, on the 30th ult., W.R. CANTRELL and Lily KOBEL, both of this county. Thus Bro. Charles, also gets his share of the "perquisites." Some unaccountable oversight in the election returns, we omitted to give the vote for Justice of the Peace in Rock Township. It was as follows: Edward BERGMEYER 350, Jacob HAEGER 197, and L.K. WATERS 3. BERGMEYER is his own successor. >From Antonia: Martin ZIMPFER set 'em up to the boys when they came to serenade him with tinpans. "Der Martin laesztsich nicht lumpen" ...
