LEWIS-McKLEROY WEDDING^
Columbus Enquirer 13th.] /
One of thh prettiest home weddings
that has occurred in Columbus in quite
a long while was that at' the home of
Rev. Leon O. Lewis, pastor of the East
Highlands Methodist church yester
day morning at 11:30 o’clock, when
Mr. T. B. McKleroy, of Chattanooga,
Tenn., and Miss Irma Lewis, of this
city, were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. Rev. Mr. Lewis, who is a
brother of the bride, performed the
ceremony in a very happy manner, in
the presence of quite a number of in
vited guests. '
The ceremony was performed in the
large double parlors of the East, High
lands Methodist parsonage, which
were handsomely and artistically dec
orated for the occasion, the color
scheme being white and green. The
hri-.lal couple stood in the double
doors of the parlors underneath a
large white bell. Two little girls,
Miss Julia Lewis, niece of the bride,
and Miss May Annie Abbott, daughter'
of Mr. Harry L. Abbott, preceded the
couple. They were attired in colors
in keening with the color scheme.
The wedding march was beautifully
rendered by Mr. Shutze Trammell.
When the bridal couple were in the
proper place the good man of God
spoke the impressive words which
bound the two lives together in golden
links. Then the two little girls, by
means of ribbons attached, rang the
hell and a shower of rose petals fell
upon the happy couple. The * - oom
was darkened, the light being furnish
ed from candelabra, and the scene pre
sented was enchanting in the extreme.
The bridegroom is a very popular
young gentleman of Chattanooga,
being the traveling representative of
the International Correspondence
School, with headquarters in Chatta
tanooga. The bride is a sister of Rev.
Leon O. Lewis, pastor of East High
lands Methodist church, and is a most
charming and winsome young lady.
The bridal couple left at 12:40 for
their home in Chattanooga amid
showers of congratulations and good
wishes from their many friends.
After the ceremony was over those
present were served with delicious re
freshments. There were a large num
ber of handsome and costly wedding
presents.
The bridegroom was accompanied to
the city on his happy mission by his
sister* Miss McKleroy, of Conyers, Ga.
Mr. J. B. Lewis, of Camilla, Ga.. cou
sin of the bride, was also among the
out of town guests present.
Mr. McKleroy and Miss Lewis were
both formerly teachers in the Blakely
Institute for several terms and have
many friends among the readers of the
News who will wish for them bon
voyage on the sea of matrimony.
Edward Atkinson, the noted statis
tician and publicist of Boston, declares
that a woman can dress decently on
$65 a year. And Mr. Atkinson, who is
very rich, seems to think that he has
delivered himself of an astonishing
fact. The truth is, that there are more
women in this country who dress, and
dress decently, on $65 a year than
there are women who require $5 000 a
year for their clothes. And it is the
$65-a-year woman who is the mother
of the backbone and marrow of the
Republic. —Savannah News.

The fellow that invented the follow
ing cold weather yarn could keep up
with Joe Mulhatton allright: “Sounds,
as though a bombardment on a small
scale was in progress, drew W. P.
Turnstall a well-known farirfer of New
Kent county, Virginia, to his hen
house recently. On the floor he found
several fowls mutilated and dying,
and as he was speculating on the
cause he heard a similar explosion
and a hen fell fell dying from her
nest. Investigating, Mr. Turnstall as
certained that the severe cold weath
er had frozen the eggs and when they
began to thaw from the warmth of the
hens they exploded. The fowls were
dressed for the table, and in the pro
cess pieces of egg shell were found
through their bodies where they had
been driven by the .force of the explo
sion. ’’
