COMES FROM ENGLAND TO BE A TEXAS BRIDE

All the way from Bournemouth, England to this country to become a bride, is the romantic
experience of Miss Christina Sutherland, who will be wedded to Andrew McKenzie this afternoon.
Mr. McKenzie left England some time ago coming to Wichita Falls. In spite of the fact that some
thousand miles of land and salt water lay between them, the promises made by the couple before
McKenzie left England were kept, and several weeks ago Miss Sutherland left her home to become
a Texas bride. If nothing goes amiss, the romance will have its culmination this afternoon,
when the wedding is scheduled to take place.
