After the marriage the young cop pie came down to the home of Mr. T. B. Clyburn, father of the groom, where a few members of tho imme diate families were present, and a most delightfully pleasant, day was spent. A reporter for the Chroni cle was present, and a happier day was never spent by him. Under tho hospitable roof of M v. Clyburn it would be Impossible for anyone ?to have anything but a '.pleasant time, and on this occasion it seem ed that the hospltaliy of this home exceeded all past records. Mr. Cly burn and his excellent wife did ev erything in their power to make the' day pleasant for all, and quite well did they succeed. An unusual occurrence on this oc csion was that the grandfathers of the groom and bride ? Capt. L. Ii. Clyburn and Mr. J. A. McDowell, were present; and another singular fact is that each one of the graiuL parents is the youngest child ot'i their parents.
