The marriage bells have wrung again in Glenmore, and on the 16th inst. Miss Mary Miles, the daughter of our chief magistrate, Mr. E. M. Miles, was married to Mr. John Purvis. The ceremony was performed by Mr. Bullard, our new Methodist Minister, who is winning golden opinions among the people. Miss Mary Miles is one of our belles, and was much admired. Her husband is a very handsome and intelligent young gentleman. The marriage was largely attended, many people from Hinton, W. Va., being present.
