Ly0rly.
Immediately after the conclusion Of
the benediction Gen. and Mrs. McClurg
marched down the aisle smiling and
bowling and acknowledging the cordial
greetings Of their friends on the left
and on the right Of them, and once in
their carriage, which awaited them at
the door Of the church, they we're be-
sieged by hosts Of others who gave the
groom a cordial handshake and the rad
liant bride a hearty s~alutation. So very
numerous were these congratulations
that the happy couple were detained
several minutes. But they seemed to en-
Joy and to appreciate all the good things
that were said and all the expressions
Of hope for a happy future, and were not
worried or wearied by the enforced de-
lay in their departure for the depot
where they were to take the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley train for their future
home at Greenwood.
