Mr. Tracy Council! Weds.
Mr. Edward Tracey Councill,
of Boone, was married in Char
lotte at 7:30 o'clock last Satur
day evening, to Miss Grace Hart

and Mrs. S. S. McNich, of that
city. The marriage was solemn
ized in,Tryon Street Methodist
church, the Rev. H. G. Hardin
offlc'ating.
Sunday's Charlotte Observer
carried quite an elaborate ac
count of the event, but our limit
ed space forbids it. Suffice it to
say that Mr. Councill is one of
Boone's most prosperous young
business men, and his bride is
one of Charlotte's mostcharming
and beloved daughters. The hap
py couple returned Sunday and
will be at home to their many
mends in tneir handsome new
bungalow within the next few
days. The Democrat, in behalf of
the many friends of the popu
lar bride and groom, extends
heaity congratulations and best
wishes for a long, prosperous
and happy life.
