At the Baptist church in Mountvillc
on October 28, 1914 occurred a wed
ding of much interest to this and the
surrounding communities. The fes
tive occasion will be long remembered
as one of beauty. The wedding cere
mony was impressively read by Dr.
Richard Blalock of LaGrange, uniting
Rev. J. C. Grimes of Boston, Ga., and
Miss Ellie Keeth Byrd in the solemn
bonds of wedlock. The wedding was
planned ns a "Chrysanthemum wed
ding” and a color scheme of white
and yellow prevailed.
Preceding the entrance of the
bridal party delightful music was
rendered by Mrs. Avant Partridge,
followed by two songs, “Because” and
“I Love You,” by Mr. Lee of Macon,
a special friend and classmate of Mr.
Grimes.’ The bridal party entered to
strains of Mendelsshons wedding
march rendered by Mrs. Partridge on
piano, and accompanied on violin by
Mr. Eric Carden of St. Marks. From
right came Mr. Charlie Hirfes. Left

themums. Mr. Carl Y. Stroxier met
Miss Hines at altar and they passed
each other taking places on opposite

attended by her maid of honor. Miss
Mary Jane Woodward costumed in a
handsome frock of yellow and bearing
bouquet of yellow. They were met
at the altur by Rev. J. C. Grimes at
tended by his best man, Mr. George
Pierce Partridge.
The bride never looked so lovely a?
decked in her bridal robes of white
satin nnd lace. She carried her favo
rite flowers, white Chrysanthemums
and for sentiments sake, the ones
grown from her mothers flower gar
den. Her veil was caught with tube
roses and ferns also from her home
garden. Miss Byrd is a charming
young woman, the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Byrd. She is a
great favorite with both old and
young in our community and will be
greatly missed from among us.

man, a graduate of Mercer Uniyer-
sity and a rising young minister at
Boston. Our best wishes follow them
to their new home.
