A MARRIAGE
One evening last week the pastor
of Green Street, Rev. J. B. Chick, saw
two young men coming towards the
parsonage one of whom wa| seemingly
in very deep thought, presently,
from the opposite direction there ap
peared two young ladies, of course,
the preacher grew a little suspicious.
In a few minutes he received a paper
issued by W. W. Johnson and almost
in less time that it takes to tell it
Mr. Jesse Epps and Miss Rosa Howell
were made one. Miss Rosa's
mother was not aware that such was
going to happen however. All parties
have been forgiven and the young
people are apparently happy, and at
present are at home on Thomson St.,
to their many friends.
