Rev. SMITH pronounced the words that united two of our favorite young people, Miss Sadie UPSON and George JAMES.
The marriage was celebrated on Tuesday evening last at 8:30, and occurred at the residence of the bride's parents, Julius UPSON and wife, of Fourth St.
It was intended to have a really private wedding, but relatives from a distance arrived just in time to witness the nuptials.
