post.
Special to The Age-Herald.


Bessemer, April 28-Young people in Bes-
semer have a habit of going off and getting
married without talking much about it be-
forehand. Great surprise was expressed
here today when it was learned that Dr.

Miss Prewitt of Fort Deposit, Ala.
DIR. Hurt had confided the fact of his ap-
preaching marriage to only few intimate
friends. He is associated with DR.. w. D.
Taylor in large drug store at this place,
and during a brief residence in Bessemer
has won the respect and esteem of all
classes of citizens
Mrs P. T. Whilden is lying very i'll at
her home in Fifth avenue. Mrs. Whilden
was taken ill Monday and her condition
yesterday was considered serious. She is
a little better today, much to the relief of
a large circle of friends, among whom this
lovely young matron Is very popular.
