HYMENEAL:  Mr Richard Lewis and Miss Mattie Bivins, of Marianna, arrived in the city on the 6 o'clock train Sunday evening and were immediately married by County Judge J A J Hathaway, at the Central Hotel.

The marriage of this popular young couple was romantic and quite a surprise to their many friends.

Mr Lewis is well known here, and is a son of Dr Lewis, of Pensacola.  Miss Bivins is surpassingly beautiful, accomplished, and possesses many lovely traits of character.

Mr and Mrs Lewis returned to Marianna on the late train Sunday night, as happy as happy could be.

The Advertiser extends congratulations and hopes their pathway may always be strewn with flowers of the richest hue.
