very much surprised that the marriage
rites had been solemnized three months
ago, as they were prepared for the
happy event to take place in their own
home. About three months ago Miss
Maggie left home to spend the day at
Mr.. Geo. Fergueson's, Sr., with Miss
Fannie Dooley. In the afternoon Mr..
Alfred Dooley called in and the young
ladies left the house to take walk with
him. They were met at the river by
Mr.. Kirk Loftin and Rev. w. A. Provine,
where Mr.. DOoley and Miss Smith were
hours fishing, and then all repaired to
their homes. The secret was very well
kept until they chose to disclose it them
selves. They will go to housekeeping
right away in the neat little cottage Mr..
Dooley has recently had erected. We

couple long life of happiness and pros

As our Bigbyville correspondent Will
