Walker County, Georgia
Humorous wedding announcement.
Well, Billy, on Thursday of last week I was trying to rake and haul hay and there was some dissatisfaction about the way some folks were living. So I was summoned up to Bro. J. E. Headrick's home and I went with wagon and hay frames and met Mr Raymond Bell, of High Point, armed with the necessary papers fresh from the Ordinary of Walker county, and in a very brief space of time I settled all their dissatisfaction between him and Miss Mattie Headrick, the oldest daughter of Bro. Headrick, and they left for Chattanooga man and wife. May supreme happiness be their lot through life and never a trouble cross their path. Mr. Bell semed to be a very nice young man. I have known Miss Mattie all her life. She is a charming bright young woman that any young man ought to be proud of.
(It goes own about hopes for the future, etc.)

Note: So far, I cannot find the marriage on Family Search.
