TIFTON-BRUNSWICK.
Joined Together by the Silken Cords
of Holy Wedlock.
One of tlie prettiest and pleasant
est weddings the editor has attended
for some time was consummated at the
home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. C. W. Shepard, on Carpenter
street, Brunswick, Ga., last Wednes
day evening—their daughter, Miss
Evlyn, and Mr. Orville M, Tift, son
of Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. Tift, of Tifton,
were united in marriage by Rev.
George B. Culpepper, brotlicr-in-luw
of the bride.
It was one of those home weddings
which for elegance and good taste
cannot be surpassed. The spacious
residence was brilliantly lighted and
tlie doors thrown open to receive tlie
many invited guest who presented
themselves. Precisely at 5:45o’clook
tlie wedding march sounded its joy
ful notes, under the skillful touch of
Miss Mada McDonald, who also fur
nished the accompanying music dur
ing the ceremony.
Tlie bride cutered the parlor—
where the ceremony was performed—
leaning on the arm of her father who
gave her away. She was gowned in
a charming dress of white, en train,
trimmed with white lace and ribbon.
At her throat was a lovely soltaire
diamond pin, a present from the
groom. She carried a lovely bouquet
of white hyacinths and maiden hair
ferns. Miss Katherine Tift, sister of
the groom, wns maid of honor; Misses
Katie Krauss, of Brunswick, and Rosa
Smith, of Reidsville, wore the brides
maids and'wore simple gowns of white
cloth and carried boquets of pretty
pink roses. Tlie groom and his best
man, Dr. Nichols Peterson, of Tifton,
followed tlie bride and father to the
altar. The groomsmen were Messrs.
John G. Padrick, of Tifton, and Al
bert Way, of Brunswick. The gen
tlemen were retired in becoming suits
of black. The attendants proceeded
to tlie altar in order, and tlie scene
presented was delightful to behold.
The ceremony used was that laid
down in (he Discipline of tlie Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, and
pronounced in a manner that, was at
tlie same time solemn u|ld impressive.
At. tlie conclusion of tlie ceremony
several minutes were devoted to all
informal reception, during whinli
hearty congratulations were extended
the bride and groom.
The guests were then invited to
partake of a sumptuous wedding sup-
per, served iu stylish manner by a
corpse of trained servants. The di
ning hall was commodious, and the
lone table tastefully decoiated with
cue flowers and ladened with delicious
edibles. At tlie first table were seated
ti>e bride’s und groom’s parents, the
officiating minister, the bridesmaids
and groomsmen, together with the
Tifton guests who desired to take the
7:25 Brunswick and Western train
for their home. The table had to be
spread tlie second and third time to
accommodate the gncBts present.
The groom is a fit representative T>f
an illustrious New England family—
a family the name of which is a syn
onym of success in commerce, niutiu-
fhctnres and agriculture—really in
everything they undertake, lie is a
young gentleman of culture and re
finement, warm-hearted ami genial,
because of his many noble traits of
character.
The bride is a representative of
that true Southern chivalry and hos
pitality which has always been pro
verbial with tlie citizens of Liberty
county, Go. Her ancestry is a noble
one, not alone because it was one of
those whose very name and residence
entitled the members thereof to as
sociation in the highest, ami most aris
tocrat ic circles of Southern society of
antebellum timet, but because of real
true merit—it was honorable anil

Some Georgia Notes.
A young man from one of the nor
thern states, who bus never tried far
ming before, located near Ty-Ty last
spring, und decided to iuvest hia years
labor in agriculture. He was sturdy
thoroughgoing and industrious, and
made a good average crop, but paid
well for some of his experience. His
rice crop was a failure, aud discuss
ing the cause with a neighbor, ha
said be could cot understand it—that
he cultivated it thoroughly, fertilized
it well and gave it every attention.
On tho suggestion of that perhaps he
left it too thicr in the drill, be said
he waa sure he didn’t, for he left on
ly one stalk in the bill, and the hills
were a good distance apart, A neigh
bor told him one day that if he did
not pull the “suckers” off hia coro
they would ruin it. He went to work
ana pulled the shoots and young ears
off about an acre of hia best corn be
