STEAM LAUNDRY
FOR CARTERSVILLE
Building Will be Put Up for This
Purpose.
READY IN THIRTY DAYS-
C. D. Smith Will Put Up Stream
Laundry on Railroad
Street.
All enterprise which has long
been needed in Cartersville and
which has been on foot fot some
time will prove a realization in
about thirty days.
Mr. C. D. Smith, an enterprising
young man who was raised in
Cartersville, but who has made his
home elsewhere for several years,
has returned to his native town,
and after investigating the laundry
business in other cities has decided
that Cartersville will sustain a
steam laundry and we also believe
that it will.
Mr. Smith will begin the erect
ion of a building on his lot in the
rear of the Satterfield store house
this week, and expects to have the
machinery installed and ready for
business in about thirty days.
He will put in none but the
la'est improved machinery "and
will give the people of Cartersville
a'first class up-to-date steam laun
dry. He will make it his personal
business to see that satisfactory
service is given in every instance,
and will run regular delivery
wagons for the purpose of receiving
and delivering to and from the
residences of the city.
Any business entrusted to him
will receive careful and prompt
attention, and the housekeepers
will find the steam laundry a great
convenience and satisfaction.

WOMAN AND SOCIETY.
BY CARRIE GARNER JONES.
From the prominence of the bri ’e
and her family the wedding Thurs
day evening of Miss Lottie Ander
son to Mr. Frank Pruden, of Dal
ton, would have been an event
ft aught with untold interest to
Cartersville. But the personality
of this young woman attracted to
her nuptial eve the more tender
sentiment of friendship and friend
ship’s offeung to bless her life’s
union and to fill with the incense
of sweet memory the home which
she has left.
Oh this same evening, June 15th,
twenty-four years ago, the bride’s
parents were married.
, At 8 o’clock the guests began to
assemble at the First Presbyterian
church, where for half an hour
Mrs. G. H. Aubrey, who presided
at the organ, rendered a beautiful
musical program.
Promptly at 8:30 o’clock the first
not,es of the ever-old, ever new
Mendelssohn were sounded. Just
previously the ushers had escorted
to their seats the families of the
bride and groom, including Mrs,
Anderson, Mrs. W. H. Pruden,
Dalton; Mrs Stephens, Mrs. Chas
Pruden, Rome; Mis. Bryant, Dal
tor; Mrs. Smith, Cleveland, Tent:.;
Mr. aud Mrs. Cooper, Murphy,
N. C.; Mrs. E. T. Harrison, Mr.
Wade Harfison, Bradley, S. C.:
Mrs. Durst, Greenwood, S. C.; Mrs.
Hoyt, Rome; Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Milner, Harold Dwell , Mrs. Chas.
Stratton, Atlanta.
The processional was Messrs.
Frank Reynolds, J. S. Calhoun,
Rufus Powell aud Will Dupre as
ushers, who led the bridal party to
the altar; Misses Lucy Maddox,
Dalton: Mattie Lu bmith, Cleve
land, Tenn.; Mrs. B. Logan Vaugh
an. maids: Mrs. J. Leak Spencer,
Charlotte, N. C., as matron of
honor and Miss lola Baker, of Ma
con, as maid of honor; the bride,
escorted by her father, Mr. J. P.
Anderson. Up the left aisle came
the groomsmen, Messrs. Louis
Crawford, Mac Hardwick, Frank
McCutchen. of Dalton, and B. Lo
gan Vaughan, followed by the
groom and his best man. Mr. Sam
Carter, of Carter’s Quarter.
Rev. R. B. Headen, of Rome,
who also officiated as celebrant at
the wedding of the bride’s parents,
was in waiting at the altar with
the pastor, Rev. W. A. Cleveland,
to give the benediction.
Grouped about the altar, which
was beautiful iti its dress of green,
with dozens of candelabra holding
lighted tapers, artistically placed,
this wedding party presented a
brilliant picture.
As the two for whom the mo
ment meant so much came to a
pause, the subdued strains of “Oh,
promise me,” mingled with the
sacred words. This, with the ear
nestness of the vows exchanged,
made one feel that marriage was
indeed a solemn rite. After the
benediction, however, the joyful
notes of Lohengrin’s wedding
march rang out, and the bride at and
groom, all smiles, led the bridal
party from the church, the attend
ants passing down the left aisle in
copples.
The bride was lovely in her bii
dal robe of chiffon cloth, molded
by the artist’s skill, with trimming
of seed pearls aud duchesse lace.
Her only jewel was the gift of the
groom, an exquisite heart of pearls,
in the center of which flashed a
fletir-deNlys of diamonds.
The softness of illusion envel
oped her figure with the orange
spray as the veil clasp. Such was
the toilet of a rarely sweet bride,
whose face was radiant yet modest,
the glo’w of cheek reflecting the
pride and happiness in the eyes of
the groom.
The maids wore elaborate gowns
of silk and net. with pink girdles,
and carried bouquets of pink sweet
peas. Mrs. Spencer, the matron
of honor, who is a bride of two
months, wore her wedding gown
of white olga crepe and carried
pink roses.
Miss Baker, the maid of honor,
wore a pretty fashioned frock of
white silk, and her flowers were
La France roses.
The bride’s souvenirs to her at
tendants were dainty wreaths of
pink roses, which they wore in
their low-coiled hair. The groom’s
gifts to the gentlemen were stick
pins with opal setting.
The bridal party preceded the
guests to the home, wnere Mr. and
Mrs. Anders-n were to entertain
two hundred or more of their
