MARRIAGE AT BAPTIST CHURCH
Nuptials of Miss Wheatleyland Mi.
Hunter.
Before the social world through au
entrance beautiful with flowers, bright
with light, flush with hope and jjyous
with the sound of entrancing music,
passed llr. Charlesworth Hunter of
Savannah, and Miss Elizabeth Ken
drick Wheatley, of this city, into mat
rimony's holiest estate.
The wedding of these two popular
young people occurred at the First
Baptist church on Wednesday evening
at T 30 o'clock. The list of gnests
went into the hundreds, and long be-
tore the nnptial hoar the spacious
church was tilled and the ushers were
compelled to refuse others admittance.
The assemblage was one of the largest
ever gathered together on any similar
occasion in this city.
There were included in this vast as
semblage a host of ont-of-town friends
and relatives who came to do honor to
Hon. Thornton Wheatley and the la
mented Mrs. Jnlia Kendrick Wheatley,
and Mr, and Mrs, Jadson A. Kendrick,
mother and grand parents of the beau
tiful bride, whose glorious light still
ehineth amongst ns, and whose mantle
has now worthily fallen npon a younger
generation. 1
'he chnrch was a bower of beauty,
the chancel being filled with a wealth
of royal palms and trailing smilax. Be
hind the screen of tropical plants the
organ pealed forth enrapturing music
under the skillful touch of Miss Mervin
Callaway. When the broad church
doors were thrown open, and to the
sweetest story ever told, Lohegrm’s
wedding march, the bridal party en
tered.
The nshers came in couples np the
side aisles. They were Mr, George D.
Wheatley, Mr. William L. Scherer,
Mr. Crawford Wheatley and Mr. Geo
W. Bacot,
Each passed diagonally in front of
the marriage altar, repairing to the
opposite side of Bov. John Davis Jor
dan, who stood between the chancel
faoing the large oompany of friends of
the distinguished family.
The bridesmaids, MiB8 Lula Bnr-
bage, of Atlanta, Miss Eileen Hunter
of Savannah, Misses Inez Felder and
Martha Wheatley, of Americns, were
attended by the groomsmen, Mr. Mar
tin Dnnbar, of Angusta, Messrs. Wil
liam Bntler and William Haskell, oi
Savannah, and Mr, J. 0. Wheatley, of
Americns.
Miss Alice Wheatley, maid of honor,
and Mr. Loyd Owens of Savannah,
best man, were the honorees of the
party.
The attendants came in singly, and
alternated on either side of the altar.
Miss Alice Wheatley, the charming
sister of the bride, came last. The
bride entored upon the arm of her fa
ther, Hon. Thornton Wheatley, and
the groom joined hor attended by his
best man, Mr, Loyd Owens, of
Savannah.
The wedding circle completed, the
Rev, John Davis Jordan, of Savannah,
stepped forward and with a divine
grace peculiarly his own performed the
beautifnl marriage ceremony.
The bride and groom pronounced
their marriage vows in clear tones,
ovinoing in their radiantly happy fa
ces bliBS untold. After a blessing and
silent congratulations the bridal party
left the chnrch in the order they came.
The wedding was a notable one and
will be long remembered in Americas.
It was a dream realized of perfect
beauty and harmony.
Tbe lovely bride is trnly a fortunate
woman. She has regal beautv, the
most radiant diadem with which a wo
man’s forehead can be crowne . She
is also a young woman of raro accom
plishments, and has ever reigned a
belle when she saw fit to mingle so
cially with her many friends through-
oat the South
She looked queenly in her splendid
wedding gown of rieh duchess satiu,
lavishly trimmed with rose point lace.
Tbe bridal veil was pinned with natu
ral blossoms, and she wore the costly
jewels, the gift of her sainted mother.
She carried a bouquet of lillies ot the
valley and bride roses.
Miss Alice Wheatley, the maid of
honor, and the bridesmaids, were ele
gantly gowuod in wnite chiffon, over
white taffeta silk, daintily trimmed.
They carried bouquets of La Franco
roses, the gift of the groom.
After tbe ceremony the bridal party
repaired to the Wheatley home on
Jackson street, where a large nnmber
ot intimate friends and relatives were
given a royal reception. The assem
blage was trnly brilliant, as many
handsome toilets were made especially
for the occasion.
The color scheme of the house dec
orations were pink and white. The
entire lower floor was a bower of boan-
ty. Ropes of waxen smilax were drap
ed over the curtains and the furnish
ing of each apartment were in harmo
ny with the fioral adornment. Violets
and bride roses were used profusely,
aud the radiauce of many lights flood
ed the happy home.
Mr. aud Mrs. Hnnter received the
congratulations of their friends in thp
south parlor. In the spaciooe hallway
above were displayed an array of pres
ents which came from friends all over
tbe country. They were fashioned in
cut glass and china, wronght in sterling
silver in hundreds of designs, together
with rare pictures, dainty laces and
silk draperies, the cost of which repres
ented a modest fortune.
Adjoining the south parlor was the
luxurious dining room, elaborately de
corated in pink blossoms, ferns and
palms, converting even this apartment
into a harmonious setting of a joyous
scene. Here the wedding party spent
an hour partaking of a feast of delici
ous dainties.
Miss Alice Wheatlcv, theaccomplish-
ed hostess, was ably assisted in doing
the honors of this reception by her
oharmmg cousins, Mrs. Alexander
Smith and Mrs. W. W. Grey, of At
lanta. and Mrs. William Hunter, of
Savannah, mother of tbe groom.
,The nuptial festivities were brought
to a close at 10 o'clock when Mr. and
Mrs. Hnnter bade adieu to their rela
tives aud friends and left by the Sea
board Air Line train for an extended
bridal trip lo New York.
Mr. Charlesworth Hunter has for
several years been connected with the
Seaboard Railway as one of tbe ster
ling yoang business men of Savannah.
Godspeed the handsome yonng groom
and his lovely bride. No young conple
ever began wedded life under skies
more roseate.
Telegrams of congratulation came
from a host of out-of town friends. Mr.
and Mrs. Hnnter will make their home
in Savannah npon returning from their
bridal trip.
Cold Steel Or Death.
There is but oue small chance to
save you life and that is through an
operation,” was thn awful prospect set
before Mrs, I. B, HuDt, of Lime Ridge,
Wis., by her doctor after vainly trying
to care her of a frightful case of stom
ach trouble and yellow jaundice. He
didn’t count on the marvelous powers
of Electric Bitters to cure stomach and
Liver troubles, but she heard of it,
took seven bottles, was wholly cured,
avoided surgeon’s knife, now weighs
more and feels better than ever. Its
positively guaranteed to cure Stomach
Liver and Kidney troubles aud never
disappoints. Priee 00c at E. J, Eld-
ridge drug’s store.

granted and the building will soon be
