A Happy Marriage

Mr. C.L. Golden of Atlanta and Miss Melissa Whatley of Meansville were
happily married at the home of the bride's father, Mr. S.J. Whatley on
Tuesday evening last at seven o'clock and boarded the train for Atlanta,
their future home Wednesday morning.

Mr. Golden is one of Atlanta's best business men who has resided there
for a number of years. He is a brother of Rev. E.Z.F. Golden, who is
known throughout the state.

The bride, Miss Melissa, is one of the most attractive and industrious
ladies we know of. She is a member of the Meansville Baptist church also
a member of one of the most respectable families and a genuine
Christian.

We wish the parties all the prosperity, joy and happiness possible that
could be wished by a true friend and may they live a Christian life and
spend eternity in heaven. - Lifsey, Ga., Aug. 7, 1895
