Thornhili--Martin.

Arthur P. Thornhill, manager
of the Fuller plantation at Ster
iington, La, was once an EN-
ployee Of the postoifice at this
place, and during his stay here a
beautiful vision passed before
him, enshrining within herself
ill that he deemed most lovely
and beautiful in woman, and
stamped the Witchery Of loves
spell upon his heart as sweet as
the minstrelcy Of the birds; but
when the management Of the
postoffice passed into the hands
of Mr.. Blanks, young Thornhill
quietly took his way into another
section of the country, fully re-
solved to prove himself wholly
worthy of the object Of his af-
lection, and to acquire a position
that would justify him in asking
her to share his home and fortu+.e.
After three years Of honest,
earnest effort, during which
time he had won for himself an
honorable and lucrative position
with his employer and had estab-
lished himself in the confidence of
the people among whom he lives,
he returned to claim the fulfill
ment of the vows that had been
plighted between him and Miss
Matte Martin, the second daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Geo. T. Martin, a very
prominent and successful planter
in tie valley Of the Ouachita
river.
The ceremony was performed
at the residence of M. Martin
last Sunday afternoon in the
presence of relatives and a few
close friends Of the contracting
parties. The bride and groom
left Immediately for their home
at Sterlington.
May every day of their married
life be as bright and happy as
the first. This wish will be
voiced by a host Of friends of the
young couple in and around
Columbia, where they are uni,
versally loved and admired.
