HAYES-COLE.
Os interest to a wide circle of
friends, both in Americus and the
surrounding towns, was the marriage :
of Miss Edna Hayes, of Hunting-,
ton, and Charles Robert Cole, of
Americus, which was beautifully
solemnized at 9 o’clock Tuesday eve
ning at the home of the bride’s par
ents, Dr. Carl W. Minor, pastor of'
First Baptist church, officiating.
The arch under which thcj bridal
party was grouped was a stately pic-!
ture with its palms, ferns and trail- i
ing smilax reaching nearly to the'
ceiling, forming a rich background
for the pink rosebuds intertwined
among the tendrils, while tall brass'
vases held magnifiicent sprays of!
pink hadrangeas. Antique candle-i
sticks held numbers of unshaded pink I
tapers which cast a soft glow over
the wedding scene.
An artistic musical program pre
ceded the ceremony and Mendels-,
sohn’s wedding w'arch was played at I
the entrance of the bridal party.!
Mrs. T. F. McCall, of Jacksonville, |
sang “I Love You Truly.” and “O!
Promise Me.” Mrs. T. M. Mount, of
Pavo, played “To a Water Lily” just
before the ceremonv. and “Trau-I
meria,” while the vows were being
exchanged.
Miss Alice Perry was the maid of
honor and lovely in a dress of white
georgette crepe with which she wore
an arm bouquet of Russell roses,
tied with pink tulle.
The junior attendant was little
Miss Louisa Cole, a sister of the
groom, dainty in a pink crede de
chine frock with pink ribbons, and
carrying a basket of pink rosebuds
ited with pink tulle. The petals were
showered before the bride on her
way to the altar.
The best man was Rory Cole, a
brother of the groom, and the two
entered and met the bride before the
arch.
The bride was attired in an ex
quisite gown of white georgette
crepe with draperies of heavy white
satin held in place with pearl beads
interwoven in the structure. Bits of
rare old lace were inserted into the
dress, and the filmy white veil, ar
ranged in Russian coronet style, was
held to the bands of soft brown hair
with fragrant orange blossoms and a
string of pearls. She carried a bou
quet of bride’s roses showered with
valley lilies and tied with ribbons
and tulle.
The bride received many handsome
gifts, notable among which were
chests of silver, cut glass and china,
and a hand made spread, the work of
very dear relatives. Among the gifts
were heirlooms, which have been giv
en from one generation to another.
After the ceremony a reception
was held to which a number of rela
tives and friends were invited. The
large rooms were prettily adorned ■
with pink and white hydrangeas be
ing the predominating note. A sweet!
course was served, the ice being in

RECEPTION AT PARSONAGE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
Delightful among the large social
affairs of the week was the reception
given to the ladies of First Metho
dist church yesterday afternoon at
the parsonage from 4 to 6 o’clock.
Informal invitations had been issued
to every member of the congrega
tion, and many of them called. A
special feature of the entertainment
was the welcome to the young ma
trons of the church who have recently
united with the various departments
of the church service.
The affair being entirely informal,
there was no receiving line, and a
gracious welcome was given to each
arrival upon entering the pretty
home. Under auspices of the mis
sionary societies of the church, the
various committees carried out to
the minuet detail the entertainment
of the guests.
The reception hall, where a large
punch bowl was placed on a table
against a background of luxuriant
ferns, was charming with its adorn
ment of calliopsis in the golden and
red tones peculiar to this gorgeous
summer flower. A large wicker jar
held magnificent orange cannas, and
tall brass floor vases blossomed with
a wealth of daisies. Upon the stair
way leading from the reception room,
were placed vases of yellow sun
flowers. White and green ribbon
grass was used on the upper land
ing, and in the living rooms above,
open to the inspection of the guests,
were arranged white hydrangeas in
the blue and rose room, pink roses
and sweet peas in the sunshiny study,
orange-colored flowers in the guest
room.
The living room and dining room
were thrown together for the occa
sion, and these were lovely in their
adornment of sweet peas. These
were arranged on the mantels, on ta
bles and placed in floor vases, and
the scene was one of delicate beauty
against the background of rose and
white draperies, and the pearl tints
of the walls. Upon, the dining ta
ble was placed a hardsome service of
white and gold china, a royal gift of
the ladies of the church to the par
sonage. The young women of the
church bestowed a service of ‘cut
glass sherbet glasses, and with these
went a service of tall tea glasses with
hand decorated wooden coasters. A
punch bowl was placed in the dining
room, and from this fruit nectar was
served by Miss Flora Bacot, Miss
Cornelia Wallis, Miss Ira Gatewood,
while Miss Marie Bell, Miss Ann
Heys and Miss Nettie Claire McMath
dispensed punch in the reception
hall. Sandwiches were served
throughout the afternoon.
More than one hundred ladies call
ed to felicitate Rev. and Mrs. Guy-
I ton Fisher, popular among a wide
I circle of friends, upon this happy
i occasion, the first real house-warming
! since the renovation of the parson
age. Much admiration was express
ed by the guests for the beauty and
daintiness of the interior, the work
of the congregation, ably assisted by
Mrs. Fisher, who helped with the se
lection of the accessories.
Many delightful affairs are being
held .in the parsonage now, the occa
sion of yesterday beimr the largest
as yet, but a number of others are
being planned. It is the purpose of
the ladies of the church to meet of
ten at the parsonage in order that
every member of the church may
feel at home in the delightful atmos
phere of the genial home, which be
longs to the jnembers of the church
and the resident pastor.

ALBANY KIWANIS
CLUB PLAYS HOST
Americus Party Helps it
Get Rid of Fried
Chicken
The fried chicken and barbecue set
I before their guests in generous quan-
I tities by the Albany Kiwanis club dis
appeared rapidly before the onslaught
of 13 visiting Americus Kiwanians
[who attended the charter presentation
I ceremonies of Albany club at Blue
' Springs, 4 miles out from Albany at
i 6 o’clock last evening. The affair was
staged in the dancing pavilion at the
springs where about 150 were seated
at two long tables. Besides the Al
bany members and their ladies and
the Americus delegation, Columbus
wes represented by 17 Kiwanias, the
new Eastman club had its representa
tives present and District Governor
Bob Wessels, of Atlanta, Was on hand
to make the charter presentation, ac
companied by “Good Roads” Frank
Reynolds and half a dozen other Ki
wanians from the Capital City.
As the opportunity presented itself
when the visiting clubs were called
upon to be heard from, President
Lewis Ellis renewed the invitation
previously extended by mail to all the
Kiwanians present to be guests of the
Americus club at its charter presenta
tion at the Windsor hotel next Thurs
day night, June 17. Albany signified
she would send a good representation
while the Columbus party vowed that
between 75 and 100 were planning
to make the trip from that city.
Governor Bob and guard of honor
also will be here from Atlanta, and
other clubs too will be represented.
The affair last night at Albany was
a pleasurable event. Excellent orches
i tra music and three solos enlivened
the members between addresses, of
which there were several. George J.
Callaway, president of the Albany
club, presided. John H. Mock, secre
tary of the Albany Chamber of Com
merce, batting for Mayor Peacock,
delivered a brief address of welcome,
to which Attorney Robert Jones, Jr.,
of Atlanta, responded eloquently. At
torney John D. Pope, of Albany, who
let the audience know that he would
stand for any entitlement except ‘Col
onel’ . entertained the diners with a
rambling talk in which he boosted
Albany and good-naturedly belittled
the other towns of this section, in
cluding Columbus and Americus, but
admitted that Americus had a place
in his heart because he had come here
to get a wife. Frank Reynolds spoke
on ‘Kiwanis,” which he briefly sum
med up in the word “Service,’’ but
took occasion to tell something of the
glories and greatness of our state, and
incidentally put over two or three

A Shampoo That Will
Not Harm The Hair
Just as a cheap and strong soap
draws and burns the skin, cheap
shampoos, pastes and emulsions con
tain an excess of alkali and draw and
burn the hair, causing it to lose its
color and life. If you are not careful
in selecting preparations with which
to wash the hair it is liable to suffer
an injury.
Shuco Shampoo is prepared from
the highest quality of cocoanut and
palm oils perfectly saponified and sus
pended in a perfect solution that when
! applied to the hair two or three tea-
I spoonful and rubbed briskly at once
makes a bushel of creamy, rich, bub
