Dr. A. .1. Bowors, of Newherry, there were united in the holy bonds of matrimony two happy young persons whose popularity and natural bright ness have never been excelled in their respective loaclities. The bride is tin pretty and attractive daughter of Dr. and Mrs. T. W. Smith, of this city, whose charms and graces of mind and manner have won for her a large dree of admiring and devoted friends. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Win. F. Wright, of Laurens county, and the nephew of Messrs Hoheit 1)., and Haskell Wright of Newberry..Be ing also a nephew of the Herald and News reporter, it is but natural that a little pride should here be taken in the marriage and it may be that par tiality lends coloring to imagination's wings. Tlie groom Is employed on Southern ::T and 38, through express train from Atlanta. On., to Washing ton, D. C. He is very popular where over he goes and makes friends every where, by his sunny and genial dis position and brightness of intellect, which is shown to be his possession by the important position which is en trusted to one at his age. The bride is charming and lovely in person and disposition, one of the sweetest girls that ever grew, loved by all. She has been a successful school teacher and is intelligent. Frank Wright is for tunate in having won so rare a prize. The marriage was a very quiet af fair. There were no cards or Invita tions Issued, and no one was invited. It was absolutely a home affair. At the conclusion of the ceremony the happy couple went by automobile to Prospority and took "old Cannon Hall," and started for Washington, where they will be "at home" to their friends. They carry with them the warm and heartfelt congratulations and well wishes of their hosts of sin cere friends. May as much of the en joyment of life as they can stand without spoiling be theirs, and may 'hey not he called upon to bear more than their proportionate share of sor row that fails to the common lot of humanity. Some have less joys than others, some hffVO more sorrow than others in this life. May the happy young couple just starting out lind the road oftenest brighter by the lightness than gloomier by the dark ness between the sunshine and sha dows along the way.?Newberry Her ald and News.
