GREEN and Robert PRESSON and Mrs. Emma JOHNSON and Miss Ella SWANE accompanied the groom from Hollow Rock, only a few invited friends being in attendance at the marriage. After the ceremony the bridal party drove to the home of Mr. F.A. PENICK, where a splendid reception was in waiting and to which several special friends had been invited.
