Married.
At McGregor, Aug 14th, by Rev. S.P. Sloan, at the residence of the bride's parents, Geo. R. McLaury *, Esq., to Miss Hattie R. Henry.We had the honor of an invitation to the interesting meeting which culminated in George's final triumph over all obstacles in the way of bachelor fears and forebodings, but an absence which it was impossible to control, prevented a participation in the pleasant entertainment which, we learn, marked the occasion. The father, Mr. Henry, and the writer of this could probably have enjoyed ourselves about as well as any other man on witnessing a ceremony to important to the young. We tender to the young couple our warmest wished for happiness, and advise them to be so careful of each others temper and health as not to create a desire or necessity for the remarriage of either. ...... George, getting married is not so terrible an affair after all, is it?
