    From the Standard:

    "Campbell [-] Love
    Both Mills Campbell and his bride have grown from childhood in and about Summerville.

    Mills is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Campbell and is an ideal young man. He is a consistent member of the Methodist church and is the most active member of the board of stewards.

    The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Love and in eery way worthy of the reputation borne by her parents. She, too, is an active member of the Methodist church.

    That the union of two such worthy young people may be attended with life's richest blessing is the wish and hope of all their friends."
