Griffin, Georgia, Friday Morning, May 25, 1888 Hymeneal Last night at the residence of J.C. McFarland, T.A. Bolton was united in marriage to Miss Willie Dupree, Rev. Dr. Bradley officiating. The bride was dressed in white brocaded satin and the groom in a handsome suit of black. J.H. Bloodworth and Miss Maggie McFarland were attendants. Mr. Bolton has been living in this city for several years, and by his gentlemanly deportment and sociability has made many friends. Miss Willie, the fair bride, is the daughter of F.G. Dupree, living near Mt. Zion. She is one of Spalding county's fairest daughters and the groom is to be congratulated upon securing the heart and hand of such an estimable young lady as a helpmeet through life. They go out to the residence of Mr. Dupree, the bride's father, this morning, where they will spend the day. A reception was held at the residence of Mrs. Bolton, the groom's mother, to which a few friends were invited. Refreshments were served and the crowd did them ample justice. The happy couple start out under the most favorable circumstances, and The News joins their many friends in wishing them a long and happy life.
