BriIIyunt Wedding Between CIsm Hines & Sally Walker Which Took Place After ConsidsrahuI Delay Owing to Clsm not Arriving on Time, but He Finally Appeared

One of the most brilluntest soshiai funckshions in the way of a wedding which has took place in this vicinity for some time past was the marriage last Thursday of MT. Glenn Hines, one of our most respected young men, and a son of Lem Hines, also a respected citi- zen, to Miss Sally Walker, daughter of Bijah Walker, prosperous agricultur- ist, who lives two miles east of Bing- vile on the pike, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride, and be- ing marred somewhat because Clem was behint hand in arrival, but other wise was a success.
 Clem and Sally have been keeping company for three years and love each other dearly They have been engaged over a year, and last December Sally announced their engagement, and stated that they, her and Clem, would be unit ed in the holy bonds of wedlock some time the follering June.
 We'll, the wedding was to of took place at high noon, and was to be fol- lered by a wedding dinner. The invited gests begin to arrive on the scene as early as a. nl, so that they would be sure to be on time for the wedding, and i by Il a. m. the house was full.
 Rev. Samuel Moore, pastor of our church, was on hand to perform the marriage operashion. while Miss Anne lia Tucker, of this town, was also pres ent to play the wedding march on the melodeon as the happy couple marched | dowstairs into the parler to the sprains of the musick.

Those present could not understand this and kept going out into the front yard and spraining their necis down the road expeckting the groom to put in appearance every minute. When half past l2 o'clock had came and still Clem hadn't showed up, Sally begin to get nervous. She was all dressed in a beautiful white lawn trueso with white lvail, ct cettery, and carried bunch of black eyed susans in her hand. Her friends present tried to comfort her and told her that surely Clem would be right along, but Sally refused to be comforted and finally broke down and weept as if her heart would break and then got mad and said she wouldn't never marry Clem Hines even if he did come.
 Well, to make a long story short Clem finally drove up about half past D. m. with his horse all in a sweat and jumped outen the buggy and rushed into the house and was confronted by Sally, who askt Glenn very sarcastick if he had forgot the day and date of his marriage.
 Glenn explained to Sally that on his way to his wedding he had stopped at Walt Mason's and him and Walt got to talking about swapping horses and he offered Walt his horse and $5 to boot and after hemming and having a couple of hours Walt he finally desided he didn't want to swop and that was what made him late to his wedding.
 Sally wanted to know of Clem if he thort more of horse than he did of her and the way she lit into him and combed him up and down with her tongue in the presence of the gests present was a caution Finally Sally cooled of some and was persuaded by her parents and friends to take Clem for better or for worse, which she final ly consented to do, but by this time Clem was almost outen the noshion oi
