Saturday forenoon, of a ceremony
that was both solemn and joyous

always been a mystery about mar
riage that makes every mating a
new and interesting occasion.

of relatives aud friends assembled
to witness the marriage of Mr.
Henry J. Fite and Miss Annie C.
Bell, the daughter of the genial
host aud hostess.
The reception room and parlors
were handsomely decorated with
foliage and flowers, while the rooms
were illuminated by artificial
lights.
At tho appointed,hour Rev. Rob
ert Adams took Ills (Jositlon in tho
center of the alcove in the parlor,
l’rof. Schneider struck up the wet!
ding march, the attendants took
their places on each side of the al
cove, and between them stood the
bride aud groom. With asliort but
impressive ceremony, they were
united in the holy bonds of wed
lock, aud then came the hearty
congratulations of relatives and
friends.
After the congratulations the
company repaired to the dining
room, where ou handsomely deco
rated tables was spread a repast
which did full credit to the reputa
tion which Mrs. Rell lias achieved
as a hostess.
The attendants were Mr. S. Me
Clesky, of Atlanta, with Miss Fran
ces Boll, sister of the bride, who
was uressed in white albatross with
diamond ornaments; Mr, Geo. H,

Tfie bride and groom were the
recipeutsof many handsome pres
ents.
Miss Annie Is one of our most
popular young ladies, of fascina
ting face and form, aud it is with
regret that wc part with her.
Mr. Fite is a popular salesman
for a Cincinnati buggy house, and
we feel sure that he will make our
Georgia girl a true aud loyal hus
band.
