Klein, dean Of the cathedral, officiating,
was celebrated the marriage OF Mr.. Bolton
Smith TO Miss Grace Lee Garlic. The
bride, who for the past three years has
filed the responsible position Of professor
OF history and literature in the Clara Con.
way Institute, is one OF the most highly
cultivated and intelligent women that
Memphis can boast OF, and TO her brilliant
mind are united those tcnderand womanly
graces Of character and disposition which
insure the greatest happiness in married
life. Her chosen life companion, Mr.. Bol.
ton Smith, is man well worthy OF such a
woman, both intellectually and morally.
II would be difficult TO name any young
man in this community OF finer mental
qualities or loftier character than Mr.. Boil
ton Smith, nor one from whom greater
things may confdcntially DO expected,
In public as well as private life. Educated
abroad, his acquaintance with French and
German literature has broadcned and
deepened his naturally fine mind, and has
given him q disposition toward philosophic
thought and research raro in men OF his
age, which will prove Of great value 10 his
fellow citizens in any public position TO
which he may be called.
