WEDDING BELLS.
CoX-BRoWNLow.

Our proud and naughty little rival, the
good old town of Jonesboro, has at last made
full ana complete surrender to us. The siege
has been protracted ana stubbornly resisted,
and IN fact carried on for more than two
years with a persistence almost unparalleled
In either the annals of love or war; but the
equalization has come at last. On the fields
of love the arms and munitions of conquest
and war, both of friend and foe, have been
finally stacked, and Cupid, the sly, the dew
ilish and tricky little god, has gleefully run
up his victorious flag.
On Tuesday evening, March 20, at 8 o'clock,
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. B. Cox,
the terms of surrender were finally agreed
upon, wien in the presence OFFS few select
friends of the parties. Thad. A. Cox, a rising
young barrister of this city, and Miss Nellie
BrownlOw, of Jonesboro, gave each TO the
other, a promise "to love, protect, to cherish
and honor until death do them part" and
were, in consideration of the foregoing
promises, with full and holy rite admins
tered, duly pronounced husband and wife.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. w. S.
Neighbors, Pastor of the NJ. f. Church.,

n marriage of these young people was
somewhat of "a surprise to their many friends
as 1t was not expected to occur until April
10, the time set for the wedding at the home
of Miss Brownlow; butlove would ever have
Its own way, n without announcing their
intentions to but q few of their most init
mate friends, they decided on the quiet little
wedding that occurred Tuesday evening.
Miss BrownlOw is the oldest daughter of
Col. W. P. Brownlow, of Jonesboro, a prom
inent candidate for Congress before the re-
cent Republican Convention in Morristown.
Mis- Brownlow is a social favorite wherever
known, and especially is this true with her
East Tennessee friends, whom she numbers
by the legion. Two years ago she completed
her education at the Georgetown College,
and has lived since then in JonesborO, where
she has always been an especial ~favorite
with the young people. She is an exceed
ingly skillful performer on the piano, and
possesses a voice of rare sweetness mt pow
er. The society of johnson City has been
greatly enriched by the acquisition of this
charming lady.
Mr.. Cox is one Of the most popular young
attorneys in East Tennessee, and since his
graduation from the Law Department of
Cumberland University, some two years ago,
has been practicing his profession in this
city as the Junior member of the well known
firm of Faw & Cox. He is rapidly taking
high rank among the member of his chosen
profession, and we predict for hin a bright
and successful future.
Our very best wishes belong to this young
couple. May they each find that the other
"outstrips all praise, and makes it halt be-
hind; beyond all limit of all else in the
world, each other love, cherish aud honor
never wish a companion but the one possess
ed, nor in imagination form a shape beside
themselves, to like of."-Comet.
The Herald and Tribune, together with the
many friends of the happy couple here in
JonesborO, heartily concur in the above and
bespeak a long life of perfect happiness and
prosperity.
