WEDDING

POPULAR CARROLLTON COUPLE MARRIED

At 10 o'clock on Christmas day Henry Perry and Miss Edna Ratliff both of Carrollton were united in marriage at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ratliff in Lewisville.  W. E. Anderson of Carrollton performed the ring ceremony. Many of the brides and grooms relatives attended.  Henry is the oldest son of W. W. Perry and wife is well known here, having lived her all his life, and has made a splendid record as a genteel character. Miss Ratliff is one of the teachers in our public school, is also known well by all our people as a lady of exceptional character and talent.
These two young people have a bright future before them and we rejoice in seeing two such wholesome and capable lives lined together. The Chronicle joins with all their acquaintances in wishing them much success and happiness.
