LOCAL PARAGRAPH:  Mr S C Dupree and Miss Mattie Allen, both of this city, were married in Westville last Sunday afternoon by Rev A P Peacock, the marriage being strictly a surprise affair to both relatives and friends of the young couple in this city.  The couple left here to enjoy the usual Sunday afternoon drive, and the next news received from them was in the shape of a telegram from Westville announcing the marriage and that they would return to Bonifay the following morning.  Mr and Mrs Dupree have a host of friends in Bonifay, all of whom hope that the young couple are well mated and that life with them will be one of peace, happiness and prosperity.  At presently they are boarding at Hotel Eurkea.
