MARRIED — At the residence of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Annie WALKER, on Third street, Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock, Mr. H.A.

The marriage was very quiet; only a few of the relaties and friends of the contracting parties being present.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. C.W. ROBINSON, of the M.E. Church, in a most solemn manner.

We extend to the two happy lives that are thus made one, our congratulations and best wishes for a long, happy and prosperous journey through life.
