POPUl AR COUPLE
QUIETLY MARRIED.
Miss Susie We1s and Mr.. Joha Pstlcy
Married tuesday.

took place on Tuesday evening
last when Miss Susie Wells became
the wife Of Mr.. John lillian Pet
tey. The ceren Ony was of very
quiet nature, being performed at
the home of the bride by Rev. Hal
S. Spragins, of the First Methodist
Church, only few of the immed-
late relatives witnessing the we'd
ding.
1t was a happy elimination of
an amor de affaire that had its
origin when these two popular
young people attended the old
school that use to face on the
corner of Washington avenne and
Cotton street. This association
became of more conse quence, and
their many admirers had antici-
pated the elimination that occurr-
ed Tuesday evening.
Miss Wells is the only daughter
os Mrs. Sue Wells, and comes
from one of Greenwood's oldest
and most highly esteemed famil-
les. Spend ng all of her interest
ing life here. she has formed about
her an admiring host of
ard mt friends who have
always fully appreciated her love-
ly traits of character. These traits
which go to make up the women
fair, were always in evidence in
this charming young lady. She
has always delighted her friends
in her identification with both re-
ligious and social affairs, and has
attained much distinction in musi-
cal circles in this city. With many
lofty attainments Miss Wei is ex
cellently fitted to make splendid
wife, and we heartily congratulate
Mr.. Pettey upon his choice.
Very few, if any, of the young
men of Greenwood are as popular
as John H Pettey. A Greenwood
boy all his life, he has SO conduct
ed himself and has SO kept his
shoulder to the wheel that he
ranks among our most successful
young business men. Ever. since his
connection with the Buckeye Cot
ton Oil Company in this city, he
has gained deserved promotion
and is now one of that company's
most valued men. John has al
Ways interested himself with af-
J j rs of the city, and has made a
substantial citiz-n with much
promise OF being prominent fac
tor. Recently his popularity was
attes'ed by his candidacy for Coun-
ty Treasurer, which resu. ted in
a nomination to that important
office John is splendid young
man of sterling qualities, and we
, know of no more deserving fel-
low than he.
The Commonwealth heartily

this happy couple in extending to
