I found an old yellow article apparently cut from the Messenger about my father-in-law Cowboy Baker and a lady named Mary Baneer. BRONC RIDING FOR NEXT TRADES DAY Miss Mary Baneer, bronc rider extra-ordinary, will be here Saturday, June 9th, to help entertain the big crowds which will attend Decatur's big trades day. Miss Baneer gave an exhibition of her skill as a rider at Rhome last Saturday, and the big crowd there was highly pleased. She will be assisted here Saturday by some of the best men bronc riders in the county. "Cowboy" Baker of Boyd will have charge of the performance, which will be free to everybody. A free-will collection will be taken during the performance for the lady rider, but no fee will be charged. Motor Cop Dalton has threatened to give an exhibition of riding at the time, and he states positively that he can ride a bronc as well as he does a motor cycle. There isn't any date on the portion of the article. On the back of the article is another story. Maybe someone will recognize the names. POPULAR DECATUR YOUNG FOLKS WED On the last Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ella Hughes, north of Decatur, Miss Mamie Hughes and Mr. Bill Cates were married, Rev.
