The Schley County News Thursday, November 16, 1893 No. 45 Mr. Maury of Albany and Miss Griffin of Dawson were to be married yesterday. The cards were out, approaching event had ben announced in the papers and every arrangement made for the wedding. But the young lady proved false and was quietly married to Mr. Emmerson in Columbus before Mr. Maury knew of her treachery. We can not with impuinty intentionally bring sorrow and mortification upon others, and doubtless Miss Griffin will at some time in her life bitterly rue the day that she threw away the devotion of a loyal heart, for what any true lady would consider unpleasant notoriety. Mr. W.P. Hornady was to have acted as best man at this wedding. The Albany Herald in a long account of the affair, has this to say of the groom. "During today, the many friends of Mr. Maury, in this city, have called upon him at his place of business and showered him with congratulation after congratulation upon him. There is no young man in Albany who has more friends than Mr. Maury and they! regard his narrow escape a most fortunate one. LOCAL AND OTHERWISE There will be a party at Mr. G.H. Walker's tonight and several from town will attend. Mrs. J.N. Cheney visited Americus this week. Mr. E.B. Hornady spent Sunday night with home folks. Mrs. P.H.
