Comprised Society Representative* of Several Cities—Reception Lewis Home—Another Reception at Dodson Home Hero. 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; Dave Andrews, of Americus; Misses Pauline Lewis, of Montezuma; Mary Payne Olinard, of Winston, N. 0.; Margaret Young, of Asheville, N. 0.; Dollie Mayo, of Albany; Pearl Lewis, of Valdosta, and Bertha Leonard, of Vienna. Following these came the 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. Mr. Dodson is a prominent and pop ular young man and one of the leading business men of our city.
