An event both unique and interest ing occurred at the parsonage last Thursday evening. Unique because of the fact that It was the first wed ding ceremony performed here by the first pastor of the first church in Winnett. Interesting because of the fact tnat one of the best known bachelors in Eastern Fergus bade a hasty farewell to the old, free ways of single-blessedness, and easrerlv took upon him self the vows that placed him at once in the sweet bondage of matrimony. Wm. Ford Nolen, rancher of Winnett, and Nina Mae Curlin, of 'Dallas, Texas, have known each other since they played together in the sunny South. ' Un til the bride arrived here about two weeks ago the young couple had not seen each other for ten years.
