Mr. Montgomery M. Folsom, Rome, Ga:
Having read in the Globe Democrat an
article said to have been written by you
describing 1,000 acrces oi land in Geor

not used and at a recent sale for taxes it
did not bring the cost of the sale.
Now if this is not fiction I would be
willing to pay you somethjpg to help me
secure this land at even something more
than taxes. .
Undoubtedly I am the man that should
own the 1,000 acres of “hants” as I now
have SOO acres of jack rabbits in the
west.
If not asking too much please give me
full information and oblige.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 24 1896.
BEAUTIFUL WEDDING
Uniting Mr. Frank C. Gilreath and Miss
Birdie Hoyt, Last Night.
GREAT SOCIAL EVENT IN ROME
A Phalanx of Lnvely Women and Gallant
M u Prt t» >nt to Witness the
He-ppy Nuptiila, #
Miss Birdie Hoyt was married to Mr.
Frank C. Gilreath last night.
The marriage took place in the parlor
of the bride’s home in this city at 8:30
o’clock.
Rev. Dr. Goetchius performed the
beautiful ceremony that made them
man and wife, and a host of friends and
relatives were present to congratulate
them.
The union is one made up of love at
first sight and by Divine right one that
will last through all the vicisitudes inci
dent to the union of man and woman.
Like all affiairs of this sort there is a
tinge of romanic —a meeting by chance.
The bride met the groom last summer
while on a visit to his native city and
then began the sweet courtship that was
so beautifully and happily consunaated
last night. Mr. Gilreath accompanied
by his sister. Miss Ella Mae, arrived on
the 6 o’clock train last night from Car
tersville.
Promptly at half past eight Mr. Na
than Hoyt, of Dalton, entered with
Miss Gilreath, followed by' Mr. Walter
Cothran and Miss Linnie Thomas. Mr.
Will Mitchell and Miss Berta Maddox.
Then the groom and bride, who stood in
a bay window facing the minister, who
made them one. The bride looked the
ideal picture of loveliness, attired in
white cloth and the bridal veil; the
bride’s maids in white organdies, with
delicate pink trimmings; the grooms
men in the conventional suits.
After the ceremony and congratula
tions by the large number of friends and
relatives, the party repaired to the din
ing room, where an exquisite luncheon
was served in numerous courses. The
parlor was redolent with ferns, cut
flowers, smilax, mistletoe and holly;
the dining room in wreaths of maiden
hair ferns and mistletoe.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilreath will make their
home in Cartersville which will be his
beadquarters for the agency of the Pro
gressive Endowment Guild of America,
he being the district deputy for about
twenty- five counties.
Mr. Gilreath was formerly connected
with the Cartersville News as city editor
and is now correspondent fur several
state dailies.
His lovely bride has been a social fa
vorite here in Rome where she has
adorned a large circle so gracefully.
The wedding cake, which contained a
ring, a dime and a darning neele, was
cut. Mr. Bam Hardin got the dime, Mr
Walter Cothran the darning needle and
the ring was awarded to Alias Berta Mad
dox.
The bride aud groom have the sincerest
b< st wishes from a legion of friends aad
relatives.
