Jackson, Sr., and | Mrs. Mary Johnson of .the Pleas- ant Gap neighborhood, were the contracting parties. The wed- ding took place at the home of Jas. R. Benefield. We did not get the information direct from the judge, but his friends say he was about as elated over the ser- vice as were the newly weds, It was a little embarrasing for him when the time came to ask the bride and groom to join their right hands, as the groom has but one arm and it happened to be his left one. This paper extends congratulations to the newly weds, as well as Judge Pratt.— Appleton City Journal, A Shooting Scrape. Quite a shooting scrape oe-., curred near Taberville Tuesday morning.
