garlands of smilax.
Mr. and Mrs. William R. Melton
presented a program of beautiful
nuptial music. Preceding the cere
mony, Mr. Melton sang .“God Touch
ed the Rose.” Mrs. Melton played
Lohengrin’s Wedding March as a
processional and “Oh, Believe Me If
All Those Endearing Young Charms”
softly during the service.
The bride and bridegroom entered
together. The bride, a beautiful
blonde, was radiantly lovely in a

with a collar of red fox and silver
buttons. Her hat was a model of
felt in matching blue with a navy

beige. She wore a shoulder corsage
of gardenias and lilies.

of the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Crawford Cox of Blakely, par
ents of the groom, received with

fee at the beautifully-appointed

tered with a low arrangement of
jonquils and Australian ferns flank
ed with burning tapers. Miss Julia
Carter, sister of the bride, Mrs.
Charles King, Jr., of Americus, cou
sin of the bride, and Mrs. John
Williams of Blakely, aunt of the
groom, assisted Mrs. Kennedy in
serving.

her corsage was of rosebuds.
Mrs. Cox’s gown was of lavender
figured chiffon and she wore a cor
sage of sweet peas.

ton, Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. King,

ner have made her a general favor
ite. She is a graduate of the Tal
botton High School and the Univers
ity of Georgia and for the past few
years has been a member of the
faculty of the Blakely schools. Her
mother is the former Miss Elizabeth
Pearl Carter of Leesburg and her
