The news of the marriage Of Miss
Lula Mae Oxner, now of Hephzibah,
Ga, to Mr.. Clark Crouch, of Muir:
freesboro, Tenn, was a happy sur
prise to the friends here of both
these young people. The marriage
occurred in Augusta, at the Pres
byterian parsonage, on the l4th. 1t
seems that considering the youthful
age of the bride, there were some
objections, SO the young couple,
under pretext of a days pleasure
trip to Augusta, and accompa-
MED by several friends, used
this means as an occasion to have
their vows consummated. The bridal
pair left soon after for the home Of
the groom, in Tennessee, stopping
for two days visit to friends in
Johnston. The bride is the eldest!
daughter of Mr.. Luther B. Oxner,
who resided here for many years,
but moved to Hephzibah during
last year.
