These same friends determined to give them a reception when they returned to Mulhall, but again they were out generaled, so the bride and groom came and went without the threatened "reception, but just wait." If the world don't come to an end, the boys may catch them yet. THE ENTERPRISE joins their friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Phillips a happy married life.

A son and daughter of J.W. Fallin, Esq., married to Miss Cora Ireton and Mr. Ora James respectively:
On Saturday last, Roy Fallin went to Arkansas City where he was married to Miss Cora Ireton, a daughter of Wm. Ireton who formerly lived here. Mr. and Mrs. Fallin returned here in time to be present at the wedding of Miss Dora Fallin and Mr. Ora James, which occurred Sunday evening, September 20th. A. Nehr, a minister of the Dunkard church, tying the matrimonial knot at the home of the bride's parents, four miles southeast of Mulhall. All the parties are known in the community; they have grown up here from childhood. Indeed, it hardly seems possible that the boys and girls, who, but yesterday, were attending school together in knickerbockers and pinafores, a doubtless writing sly little notes that read "The rose is red, etc.," are today men and women. Yet we are brought to a realization of the face that Oklahoma has come to the age when her children are beginning to make homes of their own.
The wedding was a quiet one, none being present but the relatives and immediate friends. Mr. and Mrs. Fallin will be at home on the Vanderford place which Roy has farmed the past year. Mr. and Mrs. James go to the new country, where Mr. James has a position overseeing a large ranch.
