Hamilton Journal We have just learned
that Miss Clara Smith. Of Mountain Hill,
was married a few days ago to a mer-
chant Mr. John Tillery, of near Beulah,
Ala When Mr.. Tillery came after his
wife, he failed to make the ferryman hear
him call from the Alabama side of the
river. Getting tired of halloing ne threw
off his wedding garments, jumped into
the river and swan over and got the fat.
He then took the fat to the other side
dressed and got his horse and buggy on
and proceeded on his way rejoicing. We
believe Miss Clara has the right sort of a
. man for a husband and we congratulate
her and wish the couple great success in
life.
