The marriage of Miss Clara May
Lowis and Mr. J. Glenwell Dodson
which occurred at Albany Wednesday
sight was a social event of interest to
the entire state. The prominence and
the popnlarity of the contracting par
ties was strikingly illustrated by the
faot that the Baptist chnrcb in Albany
was inadequate to contain the number
of friends and guests who were assent'
bled to witness the beautiful ceremo.
ay. The edifice was literally a bower
of beauty. The pulpit rostrum was
banked with feathery ferns and stately
palms, over which glimmered eleotric
lights. On a lower platform massive
pillars of smilax, were surmounted by
silver candelebras, while on either side
large gilt candlesticks supported tall
wax candles. Columns of smilax with
candles illuminated the aisles.
The beantiful strains of Mendels
sohn’s wedding march announced the
arrival of the bridal party at the cm
t-ance of the church a few minutes af
ter eight o’olock. The groomsmen ad
yanced in pairs down the right aisle,
and the bridesmaids, in>hite silk mull
with pink floradora sashes, carrying
bequetsof pink carnations tied with
long streamers of pink chiffon, ad'
yanced down tho left aisle. The
groomsmen and bridesmaids were
Messrs. Eugene Clark, of Albany;
Minor Lewis, ol Monteznma; Walter
Meadows, of Colcmbus; Dolse Coley,
of Montezuma; Ed Giles, of Americus;

Pauline Lewis, of Montezuma; Mary
Payne Olinard, of Winston, N. 0.;
Margaret Young, of Asheville, N. 0.;

dames of honor, Mrs, Edwin WoliTe, of
Norfolk, V*., in a oostume of pink silk
mull, nnd Mrs. W. A. Dodson, of
Americus, in a costume of white crepe
de chine, trimmed in pearls. Each
carried pink oarnations. The maid of
honor, Miss Sherrie Lewis, sister of
the bride, came next in a dainty dress
of white crepe de-chine over pink silk
mull, wearing a short novice veil of
white tulle and carrying a bonquet of
pink roses.
The bride advanced to the altar on
the arm of her brother, Mr. Coley
Lewis, of Monteznma. She was met
at |the altar by the groom, Mr, J. G.
Dodson, accompanied by his best man,
Mr. Martin Meadows, of Macon, where
Bev. W. L. Richards spoke the words
that made them man and wife.
A* the bridal party left the church
the •"Wedding March,’’ from Lohen
grin, was artistically rendered.
The ebarming bride was a pioture of
beauty and grace in a princess gown of
ivory tinted imported satin, made en
train, the front slashed from waist to
toot of skirt over accordion plaited
orepe lisse, high nocked with elbow
sleeves trimmed with rare laoe. Orange
blossoms gracefully caught the folds of
the veil to her hair. Her ornaments
were a sunburst of lovely diamonds,
the gift of the groom. She carried a
shower bonquet of bridal roses, the
shower extending the entire length of
hrr dress.
After the ceremony the bridal party,
with the relatives and invited guests,
were tendered a reception at the home
of Mrs. S. B. Lewis, mother of the
bride, on State street. The house was
beautifully decorated with flowers,
ferns and palms, and the menu was a
most tempting one.
The bridal presents were the most
numerous and costly ever seen in this
portion of Georgia.
The bride is one of the most beauti
ful and highly accomplished young
women of the State, and will be a most
charming and weloome addition to
Amerious society.

ular young man and one of the leading

COL. ROBERT L. OLIVER DEAD. HIS MAJESTY IS PROSTRATED.
Wellknown Citizen of Americus Died Condition of tho King Is Still Unfavor-
Saturday.
(.’ol. Bobert L. O.iver, one of the
best known of tbe older oitizsns
of Americas, died here Saturday
afternoon. The end was not unex
pected, as Col. Oliver had been in
an unconscious condition since Monday
last when tbe fatal illness came apon
him.
Relatives and kind friends have been
constantly at his bedside for aweek.and
every attention was bestowed upon the
sufferer.
Than Bobert L. Oliver few men here
were more generally esteemed.
A genial affable, cultured gentleman,
he made and retained friendships
wherever be went. He was a native of
Savannah, but in early boyhood came
here with his brother, the late Perry
H. Oliver, ond for fifty years ho bad
resided here.
Col. Oliver was a Confederate soldier
and in the army of Lee did his full
duty for his country.
Under the Cleveland administration
bo was appointed United States consul
at Merids, Yucatan, retaining that po
sition for four years. He went thonce
to England, but shortly thereafter re
turned to Americus and has since lived
quietly here.
Col. Oliver was a member of De
Molay Gommandery, Knights Templar,
and of Americas Lodge No. 13. F, and
A. M.
able.
King Cotton is still in the hospital,
so far as prices affect “His Majssty
and convalescence from the recent at
tack of the bears upon him is clow and
unsatieafotory. If receipts continue
to hold up elsewhere as in Americas
tbe crop is going to turn out very well
after all. Bat the farmer is not kick
ing about making several bales more
than he expected six weeks ago, as is
the result of tbe top crop. He sold
bis first cotton at 8} to 8i cents and
paid his obligations early in October,
and this top crop of cotton, which is a
surprise to all, is just Hat much more
in his pocket, althongb it sells for
cent a pound less than did the first
picking. la this immediate vicinity
the crop is turning out very well as
the result of the maturing of the top
crop.
A Thanksgiving Dimer-
Honvy eating Is usually the first cause
of indigestion. Repeated at’eeks lm
flame the mucous membranes lining the
stomaob, producing swelling after eat'
ing, heartburn, headache, sour risings
and fioally catarrh of the stomaob,
Kodol relieves the lnflimmatlon, pro-
teots the ne.n and cures '^e catarrh.
Kodol oures Indigestion, dyspepsia, all
stomaoh troubles by oleanslng and sweet
ing the glands of tbe stomaob. W. A.
Bembert.
COMMISSION IS STILL DELAYED.
Nothing Will Be Done Until Congress
Ass mbles.
Tbe Americus postmastership ap
pointment is still pigeon-holed, as it
were, nothing having yet been done in
tbe premises. Ted is over in Missis
sippi shooting bears, but in the mean
while the business of tbe Americas
postoifice continues to run smoothly,
is now believed that tho appointment
postmaster hero will not be made
until Congress convenes, |wben said
appointee would be immediately con'
firmed. '
He Could Hardly Get Up.
P. H. Duffy of Ashley, Ill,, writes,
"This Is to certify that l have trken two
battles of Foley’s Kidney Cure and It
has helped me more then any other med'
iclne. I tried many advertised remedies,
but none of them gave me any relief,
My druggist recommended Foley’s Kid
ney Core and it has oured me. Before
eommenclng.its use I was m such
shape that I odd hardly get up when
once down.’’ Jobn B, Hudson.

A Policeman’s Testimony.
