Mr.. Witherspoon and Mr.. Massie acted
as ushers. One of the brides wus an
hour late, but when she arrived the
ceremony, which was exceedingly
novel and beautiful, passed off without
a hitch. The church was crowded, BY

Miss Mitchell s gift from the groom
was a sunburst of pearls, and his ushers
gave an elegant silver set of six pieces.

Thos. ii. and Miss Bessie Mitchell
were born and raised in this county and
both are well and favorably known.
They were children of Samuel Mitchell
and resided near Brownsboro. Several
years ago Tom secured a Government
position in Washington City and has
filled the position as assistant examin.

that he has retained his position thro'
several administrations. Later on Miss
Bessie secured through the influence Of
her brother and other warm and inlu-
entail friends, a position as clerk in
the Treasury Department which she
held up to the time of her marriage.
The fact that these were o and
daughter Of u own Enst Tennessee
people makes this account of their
double wedding more interesting to us.
Naturally any II is glad to hear of
the good fortune of any n with whom
they have formerly been associated
aud whose acquaintance in former
years has been 80 agreeable. We trust
however that we make no mistake when
we say good fortune as both of these
friends have been a long time in get.
ting the consent of their minds or OF
the minds of some one else to ever have
it said that marriage was q failure.
The bridal party, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
M. Mitchell and Mr.. and Mrs. S. j. Gal
braith will be in town this week,
guests Of r. N. Dosser's family, and
will be entertained Vile here by S. II.
Anderson and family, Miss Addie Hoss
and w. p. Brownlow's family. We
trust that the honeymoon of these
newly married people with all of its
pleasures may only prove as an intro,
duction into a life of happiness and un.
alleged pleasure after they have settled
down in their respective homes.
