Wilhoit of Albemarle, with a couple of Mr. Hill’s friends and himself, to take Mr. Wilhoit’s big Buick car and go to Aquadale and very quietly pick up Miss Lilly Bett Carpenter, the beautiful daughter of Mr. Crump Carpenter of Aquadale, and hied away to Bennettsville, S.C., where the nuptial ceremony was hurriedly performed.
Immediately after plighting their troth they returned to Mr. Hill’s brother’s home at Baden, Mr. John Hill, where they will make their home temporarily.
