The bride, a most attractive young lady, is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Burress. She was reared in Bluefleld, Va., and graduated from the high school there.

The groom is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. L.F. Atkinson, and is well known in Bluefield, having been druggist at the White Pharmacy several years ago. More recently, he has made his home in Deland, FL where he is engaged in the automobile supplies and accessories business. His many friends in Bluefield and in Florida will congratulate him on his good fortune in winning such a lovely young bride. Immediately after the ceremony, the happy young couple left on the 9:30 morning train for the sunshine and flowers of Florida, and will make their future home in Deland. Those attending the marriage were Miss Bettie Burress and Vernon L. Burress, of Bluefield, VA and Mrs. George Floyd, of Norton, Va.
