Ladies Keep a Secret.

Asheville, N. c., Jan. 14.-(Special)-It
has been learned with surprise that Miss
Mary Hamilton and Feemster Penland
were married on June 18th. of last year.
No reason is given for keeping the mar
riage a secret for so long time. They
were married at the First Baptist church
and kept the secret well, as the only per
sons who knew of the wedding were
sister of the bride, brother of Mr.. Pen
land: Rev. w. M. Vines. who performed
the ceremony; Mrs. Vines, Miss Lottie Lee
Patterson and 7. P. Stearns!
Last night Mr.. and Mrs. Penland went
to their newly established quarters at 81
Bailey street. Mr. Penland is employed
at G.. A. Greers grocery store on Patton
avenue.
II is regarded as remarkable that the
marriage could be kept secret for more
fhan half a year Three ladies knew OF
it and this clearly demonstrates the abb
surdity of the statement that ladies can
not keep a secret.
