time at it, as they know not what
a day may bring forth.
But to get to the story of this writ
ing.
In the issue of The Herald and
News just about two weeks back,
among the personal mentionings, it
was paragraphed in separate places
that Miss Ella Mae Williamson had
gone on visit to Montgomery, Ala,
md that Mr.. I. B. Mann was in At
Ianta. In noting his absence We hint
ed that he might spend part of his
vocation somewhere else" That
was merely supposition on our side,
although it bore the evidence Of q
fcregone conclusion, as coming
e, ents cast their shadows before"
Last Monday afternoon, few
hours before the paper went to press,
it was rumored over town that ''Issie
Mann was married" The rumor was
persistent and would not down. We
did not want to miss such an item OF
news. The father of the young man
said he didn't know it. but Mr. z. 8.
Dickert, who saw Coweta calf IN
Georgia and had returned home, said
'Issie" had told him in Atlanta that
he was going to be married, and Mr..
Dnkert felt sure that he had married,
but we did not want to run the rtsS
of being premature in the announce
ment,, as, there is many a Slip bstwfxt
the cup and the lip We thought
maybe the rumor was father 10 TIE
thought" It was in the air and seem
ed to. be catching The expeetant pub
lie had just been treated to the thrill
of young National GuardsnaR
speeding to Ninety Six with New
berry girl, and it was only quite re-
Gently that a young marine came back
from Norfolk and drove up from Pros
perity with his sweetheart to be mar
.ried in Newberry. And it has not been
SO long since another couple left New
berry by different routes and got na9-
red in a State outside of South Caro-
lima. The public had featsted on all
this and was ready for more, and We
wanted to give it to the people If we
could, but we had to go to press with
out the information.
Tuesday morning the first thing VIC
went to Mr.. W. S. Mann's store and
asked him if he had heard anything.
He said he had received postal card
from his son to the effect that he and
the young lady would arrive home at
the stated time and that he would tell
al: about it. Nothing was said about
the marriage, but the wording Of the
card was sufficient. That was set
tied fact.
Accordingly, on Tuesday night Mr.
Issie Brown Mann and his bride, nee
Miss Ella Mae Williamson, arrived IN
Newberry, going to the home Of the
brides brother, Mr.. j. NJ. williamson
They were married in Montgomery
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock, at
the home of the brides sister, Mrs. w.
R. Harvey, 11S Catoma street, by aae
Rev. Mr. M0Caslin, pastor OF the
First Presbyterian church OF that
Alabama city. They left Montgomery
Sunday afternoon for Atlanta, m
which lively city they remained uRta
Tuesday morning when they left for
home, where they are now resolving
the congratulations and well wishes
of hosts of friends, all of whom hope
for them long life Of happiness, USE
fitness and prosperity.
The bride is an attractive young
VOL an who possesses the happy
charm of winning friends by her
pleasant and agreeable disposition.
The groom is the efficient Assistant
Clerk IF Court, whose swiftness at
the typewriter &c ,als two or three
hungry chickens picki1g & up corn all
at the same time, and with as mach
accuracy. His thoroughness and re-
liability quickly won responsibility IN
tie Office Of that master clerk of court,
Nh Jno. C. Goggans, where he has re-
sumed his duties and is awaiting the
call to the service in the engineering
corps Of the army Of which he is q
member. Khen that call comes there
Will be another war bride left in
