regular attendant and was so faithful in her contributions, both of her services and means.

A large number of the citizens filled the church to witness the union of this very popular couple. The bride was richly and handsomely attired in a brocaded brown silk dress and a faultless bridal hat. We can but join their many friends in wishing that each footstep along the path of their wedded life may lead on to prosperity, and that it may be their happy lot to drink often and deep of true happiness. After the ceremony was over they repaired to the residence of the bride�s father, and partook of an elegant lunch, at which our junior was present and played a conspicuous part.�they then left for Petersburg.�Fayetteville Express
