tr.ai», tho party was driven to the
elegant home of Mr. J. P. Heard
where a reception was in waiting
At 6 o’olook the invited guests be
gan to arrive, and until 9 tho merri
ment was supreme and happiness
shone out on the faoes of all present.
Tho rain of the day had passed
away; the night, was bright with
stars peeping thioiigh the disappear-
ing clouds and the moon half smil'
mg on the newly painted canary
colored home of the mother and
step-father of the groom whose hap
piness was matched only by that of
the lady by his side newly won
as a bride. More than a hundred
guests greeted the oouple and par
took of the hospitality of'the home.
Miss Luoy Heard was Assisted by
Miss Bessie Collier in receiving,
and neither of them ever looked bet
ter or aoted more becoming than
they did on this ocoasion. In i he
south room ft table (wait, we are
not eating yet) was spread with the
bridal presonts, consisting mostly
of dining room fixtures, with a
handsome mantle olook from Mr.
T. 0. Moseley and a oheck for $100
from Mr. J. P. Heard. The table
was full, the presents handsome and
valuable, being about one-fourth in
number and value of tho presents
reoeived in Amerious. The value
of all tho presents, is estimated at
$800 '
The table in the dining room w^g
covered with beautiful fiagS-worked
linen with centre piece of Batten-
burg laoq on which sat the bride’s
bouquet of nature’s flowers en
twined by'tlie hands of skill. To
the right and left of the bonquet
two of the handsomest eakes ever
seen outside of a city decorated the
table. . They were prepared and
presented by Mrs. J, D. Hargrove,
and they represented skill, taste
aud tact. The icing was made to
resemble embroidery, leaves and
vines.
Two little girls in white, Gladys
Heard and lionise Hargrove, passed
around among the guests with han
dled glasses of punoh, a mild drink
not oaloulated to exoite the nerves
of even the boys. Then course
after course of salids and cakes and
oream and numerous dainties des
cnbed as dilicious. The senior
Heard was as spry as a bird and
looked handsome as he stirred
among the guest and responded to
jokes with a wittioism peculiar to
bis cheerful self Mrs. Heard, the
hostess, was assisted by Mrs. O. M
Heard, Mrs. Julius Heard, and Mrs.
J. M. Hunt,, of Byromville. Dr. J.
H. Heard, of Macon, and Mr. J. M.

their wives and added much to' the
pleasure ot the occasion. At 9:30

of joy and a store of sweet memo
ries and good wishes for the health,
wealth, happinesa and long living of
Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Morgan.
