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.

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.

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.
