AT HOME AND CHURCH Tvo Weddings Which Were Celebrated in One Octobir Day. BERRY-EWING NUPTIALS AT NOON Ledbetter-Arrington Nuptials at First Baptist Church at 4:30 O’clock. Par ties Left on Afternoon Train. Two beautiful October weddings were celebrated in Rome yesterday. One was a home and the other a church affair. At the suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Berry were celebrated the nuptials of Miss Sarah Leila Berry and Mr. Albert Gallatin Ewing. It was a stylish and elegant wedding in every respect. The house was darkened and brightly illuminated with wax candles the softened rays of whose light, after stepping from the dazzling sunshine was restful to the eye. The interior decorations were elaborate and very artistic in their arrangement. The main hall and the stairway were dec orated with holly, fern and green vines of red lipton berries. Tne drawing room to the left with its old fashioned fire place reminding one of the elegance of colonial days was in red with a pro fusion of holly and stnilax. The parlor to the right in which the ceremony was performed was decorated in white and green with ferns, brides roses and smilax. The general effect was exceptionally beautiful. The bridal procession was headed by little Anna Teresa Veal and Wing field Hudgins. Then came alone Miss Mamie Berry, the maid of honor, in a picturesque dress of white organdy and in her hand she carried white carnations. The groom accompanied by his brother, Mr. Orville Ewing, of Nashville, as best man followed. Last came the bride on the arm of her brother, Mr. Charles E. Berry. The beautiful Episcopal ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. C. B. Hudgins. The bride, who is very handsome and a young woman of high intellec tual attainments, was gowned in heavy white satin and real lace. The bride’s table was a dream of beauty. Refreshments were served in three courses. A large bride’s cake adorned the center of the table. Many handsome presents were re ceived and several of them from school girl friends of the bride in northern cities. The couple left at 4 o’clock p. m., over the Western & Atlantic railroad on a two week’s bridal trip. PRETTY CHURCH WEDDING. Miss Mamie Lee Ledbetter and Mr. A. B. Arrington Married. A large and fashionable audience gath ered at the First Baptist church yes terday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock to witness the nuptial vows of Miss Mamie Lee Ledbetter and Mr. Albert Beda Ar rington. Before the bridal party had touched the door steps the soft inspiring strains of “Stephanie’s Gavotte” followed by “Call Me Thine Own” came from the organ under the skillful manipulations of Mrs. W. S. McHenry. The ushers, Messrs. O. G. and W. T. Ledbetter and Ned York and ‘Evan’ Harvey, were stylishly attired in dark suits with cutaway coats and white four in-hand ties, ox-blood kids completing the costume. The bride, who is well known m Rome, is a beautiful young girl, with peach blossom complexion, and bonny brown hair. She was quite becomingly arrayed in a going away gown of tan trimmed in a brilliant shade of green. Her hat was of the same shade with wings and bows of the verdant hue. Her maid of honor, Miss Bettie Ledbetter wore a dress of delicate smoke colored blue with a vest and trimmings of pink. The bride and her maid when the mu sic began to peal forth “Mendelssohns Wedding March,” entered the church down the main aisle to be met half way by the groom and his best man, Mr. Henry Taylor who had entered on the right. The ceremany was performed by Dr. R. B. Headden in his most impressive manner. The young couple after the blessing from the man of God received many warm wishes, and congratulations out side of the door and a last and touching picture was the young bride in the car nage kissing her mother good bye and giving away her bride roses, and maiden hair ferns. Mr. and Mrs. Arrington left on the 5:35 train for Atlanta where they will reside in the future. Mr. Arrington who is a brother of H. H. Arrington of the Curry-Arrington Company holds a responsible position with the Southern railway. Later on Mr. and Mrs. Arrington will take an extended bridal trip.

I am speaking for men who are fully resolved to give up their lives, if need be, for their country's freedom. lam voicing the aspirations of the Cuban people. Cubans wiU never accept au tonomy, no matter how ample, as a so lution of their siruggle for indepen dence.

TODAY Will Be Conducted From First Methodist Church By Rev. S. R. Belk—The Pall Bearers. The announcement of the death of Mrs. E. C.

Dr. Belk said of her yesterday: “She was one of the best women I ever knew, and her trust and faith in the goodness of God was beautiful to see. It is not hard to preach the funeral of such a person. The simple story of a life so pure and good, preaches a sermon more eloquent than words.” Mrs. Ford had a lung trouble, and for months J gradually grew weak er day by day. Never once was she heard to murmur or complain. Resigned to the inevitable she waited for the dawning of the new life. At 12:50 yesterday morning it came, and she fell asleep as peacefully as a child wooed to slumber by a mother’s lulla by. 1 The funeral will take place from the First Methodist church this morning at 10 o’clock and Rev. S. R. Belk will conduct the services. The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: E. T. McGhee, S. Funk houser, C. A. Trevitt, John W. Jones, George Heneg and Dr. J. A. Wills.

West on Second avenue Friday night to enjoy the Hallowe’en mysteries which are alway very entertaining. A small gift offering will be expected. Refreshments dainty, will be served.
