Hymeneal

At the residence of the brides father Mr. J.R. Shockley, last Sunday afternoon, 
Mr. R.L. Griffin of Atlanta and Miss Emma Shockley of this city were happily 
united in marriage.

At an early hour Sunday afternoon quite a number of guests began to assemble at 
the bride's parents and ere many minutes had elapsed the parlor was filled to 
overflowing with invited guests who came to witness the happy event.

Immediately after the ceremony was performed the happy couple repaired to the 
depot and took the west bound train for Atlanta, their future home. They were 
accompanied by a number of young ladies and gentlemen, who went as far as Milner

and returned.

All unite in extending to them hearty congratulations and best wishes for a long

life of happiness, peace and prosperity.

gifts. Below we give a partial list of the presents:
