Of high interest in social and Presbyterian circles, was the marriage yesterday afternoon, in Hillsboro, of Miss. Dora Danna and Rev. Walter Espy Furr, pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian church, this city. The ceremony was performed at five o'clock at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Andrews, the latter the bride's sister. Rev. C. H. Little, an old schoolmate, college mate and seminary mate of the groom, officiated, using the old Scotch ceremony, which is beautiful and impressive.
