A HAPPY MARRIAGE
	Last Sunday will be long remembered as one of remarkable interest in 
the history of Vernon, Lamar having no Probate Judge the general expectation 
has been that marrying would have to cease until an appointment be made. But 
such ideas have proven erroneous by the romantic marriage of Dr. F. L. MORTON 
and Miss EUNICE MCLAINE.  About 10 o’clock Christmas morning the bride and 
groom with a number of friends set out for Lowndes County Mississippi. Though 
the weather was extremely cold and the snow lay everywhere yet the sun shone 
forth in all his brilliancy and made a magnificent Christmas Sunday. A more 
beautiful day could not have been chosen.  The scenery along the entire route 
was grand beyond description. All nature seemed to be attired, especially for 
the occasion in her costliest robe. The sun shining though the pure crystal 
snow supported by the green pine boughs afforded a scene rarely excelled in 
loveliness. At about 2 o’clock pm the merry party arrived at its designation, 
the residence of Mr. THOMAS SMITH, where Rev. G. L. HWEITT, (after being 
assured that there could be no question in regard to being on Mississippi 
soil, performed, in a most solemn manner, the ceremony which made “Two hearts 
beat as one.” With but a short delay the jovial throng was again on the road 
speeding gaily in the direction of Vernon.  Arriving at Col. T. B. NESMITH’S a 
few hours later, the bridal party was met by a pleasant crowd of friends and 
sincere congratulations offered. After an elegant supper at which all fared 
sumptuously, the crowd retired to the parlor were the remainder of the evening 
was most pleasantly spent.  None could fail to appreciate the excellent music 
furnished by Mrs. S. J. SHIELDS and Col. NESMITH.  Repartee was also indulged 
in freely.
