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. Novelty Canvas and black Mohaii are two popular fabrics for summer skirts.

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. ’’ Fine Pasture.
