is today with us boys we have
still got the old U. 5. Grit We
come over with. Although we

We are all getting plenty of

Hall--Parsons.

Mr.. Edward Hall and Miss
Mary Emma Parsons were mar
ried Sunday afternoon about 3
o'clock at the residence Of Esq.
Jossi. Judge JOSH performed
the ceremony in the most i'm
nressiye way and the happy
young cssplv, whila the ritual
was being Said, stood upon { rug
which, in a way is famous, out
of the large number of couples
who have stood upon it to be
locked in the holy bonds of mat
rimony by Squire Jossi, not one
couple have ever separated. The
bride was dressed in blue silk
and was very charming. She is
popular young lady of the west
side of town and a daughter of
Mrs. Jas. Parsons. Mr.. Hall is
a son of John Hall and is a most
promising young man. He is an
employee of the Tennessee Con.
Coal Go.
Mr., and Mrs. Hall will proba.
bly, make their home at this
place. Mrs. Grundy extends
congratulations and best wishes.
Frank Thompson, one of Ira
cy's soldiers, has returned from
France. Frank is son Of Mr..
Albert Thompson, a we'll known
citizen. He was wounded in
the terrible battle in the Ar
gonne wood and had many ex-
periences which would be of
great interest but like the other
boys who went through the mill
over there, he is reticent about
his adventures.
Clyde Newsome has returned
home after quite long seige in
Belgium and France. Clyde was
right in the middle of things
over there for good many
weeks at time but got by with
out a scratch. There were s or
ten Grundy county boys in the
sane division and they would see
each other occasionally.
Miss Mary Ellen Hembree was
in Sewanee one day recently.
