Weds Miss Ethel Avera.
The Avera-Lester wedding,
‘which” was solmnized Wednesday
’evening at the Central Methodist
Church, was one of the most bril
liant nuptial affairs ever celebra
ted in Fitzgerald.
- The church was artistically
decorated for the occasion, the
shanes! weiling hejng r=sppcd
Atk white and Tntartsined with
neautiful Southern smilax and
yamboo, the green harmon
izing w o steffectively with
che white back-ground. The
ltar was a veritable wilderness
f palms and ferns, and floral
garlands were draped from one
side of the church to the other.
The ceremony was performed
beneath a lovely arch, suspended
from which was a white dove.
Both aisles were used for the
entrance of the bridal party, at
tractive arches being arranged
over both, and the letter “A”
was suspended from the arch
t)u‘ough which the bride entered;
while the letter ‘L’ was sus
pended from the one by which
the party left the church.
Preceding the cermony an
elaborate musical program was
rendered. Mrs. J. A. Murphy
played impressively ‘The Rosary’
and ‘Traumrei’ as a prelude,
which was followed by a violin
solo, ‘Andante Religioso’ by Miss
Maragret Whittington, accom
panied by Miss Marion Whitting
ton. Miss Elizabeth Pryor sang
sweetly “Bid Me to Love,”’ and
as the last notes died away, the
arrival of the bridal party was
heralded by the rhythmic strins
of Mendelssohns Wedding March,
beautifully rendered by Mrs. Tom
Hendricks at the piano, accom
panied by Miss Whittington on
the violin.
The ushers, Messrs. Earl Woot
en and Rufus Smith entered

and carried enormous bouquets of
pink carnations. They wore dain
ty half veils of white. Following
the bridesmaids and groomsmen
camethe pretty little flower girls,
Athleen Dickey and Elizabeth
Goethe, who wore white frocks
with pink ribbon and carried
baskets of pink rose petals.
The maid of honor, Miss Alma
Roberts, and the matron of honor,
Mrs. George L. Kilcrease, enter
ed the church at the same time
and met at the altar, where they
joined the rest. of the wedding
party and completed the half
circle. The maid of honor wore
a gown of green brocaded satin
with chiffon draperies and adorn
ed with crystal trimmings and
duchess lace. She wore the half

PUBLIC BUILDINGS. e
We have inspected the Public Buildings by spezial Qcmmit
tee and find same in good condition, with the following exceptions:
Court House, lift chains of some of the windows of offices of Clerk
and Ordinary out of order. We find that the vault of Clerk’s office is
badly in need of more filing room. We find the sanitary condition
of the entire Court House and premsies in exeellent shape, showing
much care and attention on the part of the Janitor. i
We beg further to report that we find the Jail in f’a-zft‘,&)d{
tion, and would recommend the following repairs and improve
ments; Ist. That a prisoners room for whice prisoners be equip-.
ped on the first floor on account of lack of room upstairs for all
white prisoners. We also recommend that cell for insane persong
be lined with sanitary covering over padded walls, so that sam:
may be kept in a sanitary condition. We aW leaks in the
roof, which should be immediately repaired: e alse find the
basement, where the furnace is located, standing in from two to'
four inches of water, which renders the room useless and unsani-.
tary, rendering it impossible for the Jailor to keep the water out.’
We also find the Jail unsafe for prisoners, on account of construz~
tion of building under each outside window there being only a ebl?
struction of brick occupying space enough to admit the passage o
a prisoner after removal of brick between sill and windows and fvodd,
girder about 8 to 10 inches below window sill, this space onji;be:
ing closed by brick which can easily be renioved, ans whicH hav
been removed heretofore by prisoners in attempting to esc e
one or more instances. Ve
