GARRETT – PENDER NUPTIALS

During your absence from the city on Wednesday evening the 18th ultimo, a happy marriage took place, though it has been several days, we are constrained through our respect and admiration for the contracting parties to speak of it, never-the-less, Judge M. L. Garrett and Miss Eva PENDER were the happy twain; the union took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. B. H. Shearer in this city, Rev. Miller, the Baptist minister performing the rites.

Judge Garrett is a gentleman, in every conceivable sense of the term, a ma whose integrity is unimpeachable and unquestioned and possessing among other admirable traits of character the knowledge that he is but a man, while he is the possessor of ability and an intellect like which makes most men over proud. He is a lawyer of exceptional attainments, yet is modest and reserved; in ability he has the potency of leadership and in the character of his reserved …..are the elements which ….men desire his leadership. He served a term in the Texas legislature and was County Judge of Palo Pinto County, Texas. He practiced law at Ardmore up on first coming to the Territory but later removed to this city, where his firm, Garrett & Lester enjoys a lucrative practice.

Miss PENDER is a fair daughter of the southland, having been reared in Mississippi under the fatherhood of Rev. Joseph W. Pender and eminent Baptist divine of that grand commonwealth and Grand Chaplain of Royal Arch Masons of North America.

She is accomplished in the sciences that make women attractive, notably in music and literature. Joined together with a love as large as life, as deep and changeless as death they cannot but be happy.

The pleasures is our to extend congratulations to both Judge and Mrs. Garrett, and we hope that the fair goddess, Fortune may fall deep in love with them and that prosperity may be their page. May heaven rain upon them its sweetest odors and richest blessings and may their happiness grow into “a boundless blessing, which may vie with the immortal lights in its eternity.”
