tanned their relatives aud friends AT their
home. near Dover, gu the 9th INST. The oc-
casion was the marriage of Mrs. Pointers
sister, Mrs. AddIe Throw to Mr.. Henry
Major, OF Aullyille. Mr.. and Mrs. Pointer
are well known among their friends for gen
erous hospitality, and they more than sus-
tanned their reputation upon this occasion.
The marriage ceremony was performed by
Rev. Roth, of the Baptist church ,at II O'Clock,
a. m., and at half past twelve The guests
were invited into the spacious dining room,
where a dainty and well appointed table

WAS no exception. Glad greetings were
heard on every hand, and happy faces look
