The marriage Of Mr.. James NJ Hudson
and Mrs. Betsy Smith. both of Mecklen-
burg, on Sunday. the 9TH instant. was
literal fulflillment of the old saying. that
neither a man nor woman ever loses his
desire to marry. The contracting parties
are both far advanced in LIES journey,
strong. Indeed they appear to have a
good chance for several years OF matri-
monial bliss yet.
The ceremony took place at the home of
the bride, some two miles from town,
where a large company had assembled to
witness the unusual scene. The afternoon
was lovely, the sun shining brightly.
Promptly at o'clock the bride and groom
marched from the house into the yard
attended by friends. and under tn,

Smith had buried two former husbands
