BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 8. 1903.
Speigle^Kent.
A marriage that is of much in
terest to the people of this sec
tion is that of Mrs. O. A. Speigle
of this city to Prof. Win. F. Kent,
of Los Angeles, Cal., which oc
curred at the home of the bride
on Elm street Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. J. N. Snow performing the
ceremony in a very simple and
impressive manner. Only a very
few int imate friends of the family
were present to witness the mar
riage and it was a quiet affair.
It seenu that there is a slight,
tinge of romance connected with
the affair. Prof. Kent and Mrs.
Speigle had known each other
years ago and had remained quite
good friends during the following
lapse of time. A week or more
Prof. Kent arrived in the city to
tarry a short while and during his
stay paid his respects to Mrs.
Speigle. The result of the re
sumption of old ties was that the
affair culminated in the marriage
which took place Tuesday after
noon.
This couple has the best wishes
of a large number of people as
Mrs. Speigle was well known here
and numbered her friends by the
score. They will make this their
home for the present but will
probably remove to Los Angeles
to reside in the near future.

factory manner in which this

fora thing of this kind and if

in Forsyth last week between Mr.
