Mr. D.W. Puttnam, the well-known bricklayer, who pleads guilty to 40 years, was the groom, and Miss Myrtle Terrier, aged 15, was the pretty bride, and Esq. Allen did the work for them. The groom called at the bride's home and took her into the carriage with him. Then, accompanied by the bride's folks and numerous friends, they drove about a mile into the woods and were married sitting in the carriage. Col. A. Lee Campbell and Capt. B.F. Grigg were groomsmen and Judge W.E. Grigg and Rev. Dr. Bob Michael were the maids of honor. Prof. Bart Shipp was to have delivered a fatherly discourse, but didn't wake up until two hours after it was over. Prof. Hale took several photographs of the beautiful and romantic scene. The Journal's congratulations and best wishes are with the happy pair.
