F. Speir, near Fairburn, Campbell county, Ga., Mr. W. J. Barton and Miss Mary E. Speir were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. W. T. Laine, of Atlanta; the attendants were Mr. Ben F. Perry and Miss A. E. Milam and Mr. S. M. Milam and Miss A. E. Payne. The ceremony was performed in the presence of only a few of the most intimate friends and relations of the contracting parties. The following day at noon the happy pair took their leave of Fairburn and a few hours afterwards reached Canton, their home for the present, where the affair was crowned with an elegant and fitting reception at the groom's father, Mr. W. M. Barton; the table fairly groaned under its weight of rich and sweet viands. All with not an exception enjoyed the evening most pleasantly and wished fro the young bride and groom long life bedecked with great successes. We too join in with the others and trust that their path along the rugged road of life may be one long, bright, continuous journey, with not more bitters than just enough to make the sweets the sweeter. May the fair bride, who never looked more beautiful than when she was pronounced Mrs. Barton, find in her husbands strength a perfect support; in his wisdom, a perfect guide, and in his love, a perfect shelter. Thanking the bride and groom for an invitation to the marriage and reception, and their parents for the kindness shown the Editor, we again say "wish you well," much joy and long lives of usefulness.
