MARRIED IN THIS PLACE, ON THE EVENING OF THE 10TH INST, AT THE RESIDENCE OF 
MR. JP.H. BROWN, THE FATHER OF THE BRIDE, MISS ANNIE BROWN TO MR. W.C. JENKINS.
THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY WAS PERFORMED BY THE LATE REV. H.C. HOYT OF CUTHBERT, 
WHO IN A MOST BEAUTIFUL AND APPROPRIATE MANNER ADMINISTERED THEVOWS THAT MADE 
THE TWAIN ONE, SO LONG AS BOTH SHALL LIVE.  A LARGE NUMBER OF RELATIVES AND 
FRIENDS WERE PRESENT TO WITNESS THE HAPPY EVENT, AND THE HANDSOME RESIDENCE OF 
MR. BROWN WHICH WAS ILLUMINATED AND ADORNED IN THE HONOR OF THE OCCASION WAS 
FILLED WITH INTERESTED GUESTS, ALL OF WHOM WERE RECEIVED AND ENTERTAINED IN A 
MOST HOSPITABLE MANNER.
THE HALL WAS FESTOONED WITH EVERGREENS AND FLOWERS AND A BEAUTIFUL BRIDAL ARCH 
HAD BEEN ERECTED, BENEATH WHICH THE BRIDAL PAIR STOOD WHILE TAKING UNTO 
THEMSELVES THE SOLEMN MARRIAGE VOWS.  THE FOLLOWING WERE ATTENDANTS.
MISS CARRIE BROWN AND AA JONES, MISS FLORENCE BROWN AND T. JENKINS, MISS JULIA 
JENKINS AND E.A. GRAHAM, MISS MOLLIE JONES AND W.L. LOTT, MISS JENNIE LOTT AND 
T.J. MORRIS, MISS BEULAH HILL AND C.W. KENNON.  THE CERREMONY BEING ENDED AND 
THE HEART CONGRATULATIONS OF ALL HAVING BEEN DULY OFFERED, THE EVENING WAS 
GIVEN TO SOCIAL PLEASURES AND WE HESITATE NOT TO SAY, WAS HIGHLY ENJOYED BY 
ALL.  AT 10 OCLOCK THE DOORS OF THE DINING HALL WERE THROWN OPEN AND THE 
COMPANY INVITED TO ENTER AND PARTAKE OF SUPPER.
THE TABLE WAS TASTEFULLY ADORNED AND SPREAD WITH ALMOST EVERY DELICACY IN RICH 
PROFUSION, AND ALL PRESENT WERE RIGHT ROYALLY FEASTED.  THE WEDDING PRESENTS 
WERE HANDSOME, AND AMONG THEM WERE MANY USEFUL ARTICLES FOR HOUSE KEEPING.
WE WISH THE BRIDAL PAIR A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE AND MANY 
RETURNS OF THEIR BRIDAL DAY.
