Tbo home of Mr. and Mrs. George
A Turpin was the scene of a very beau
tiful wedding at noon yesterday when
Miss Sarah Turpin became the bride of
Mr. James Ray Wakefield. Quite an
assemblage of friends were in attend
ance, as the occasion was one of social
prominence and of more than usnai in
terest m Americas.
Ot rtain is it, a prettier home wedding
was never witnessed here.
The Turpin residence had been very
tastefully decorated for this happy oc
casion, the first flowers of spring, in
greatest profnsion^lending to it their
wealth of fragratce and beanty.
The walie and ceiling of the parlor
and reoeption ball were festooned in
bamboo and evergreens, while stately
palms were backed in the largo bay
window. Vases of japomojs and oth
er cot flowers were placed conspicuous
ly on mantels aDd tables; a floral tri
bute indeed to the fairer flower about
to bo plucked and carried away.
The parlor bad been darkened, and
many shaded lamps cast a soft light
upon the scene.
As Miss Nell Turpin sonnded the
wedding march the bridal party enter
ed and formed a half circle before Rev.
W. Li. Wootteu, the officiating minis
ter, who stood in the bay window,
'I be bride looked radiantly beauti
ful in a traveling costume of dark blue
broadolotb. Mrs. William Hinkle, of
Kentucky, matron of honor, was at
tired in a tailor suit of black, while
Mies Lttie Tallis, maid of honor, wore
a lovely gown of light blue albatross
trimmed in real lace. Neither of the
ladies carried flowers.
Mr. Frank Turpin, brother of the
bride, was best man of the occasion
and entered with Miss Tullis.
The marriage ceremony was brief
but very beantifnl in its simplicity,
and at its | conclusion the assembled
company gathered about the young
oonple to extend congratnlations.
Shortly before t o’olook a tempting
luncheon of salads, meats, confections
and Ices was served.
Mr. and Mrs. Wakefield left at 8
o’clock by the northbound veslibnlod
for their beantifnl home in Wakefield,
Ky. one of the loveliest in that state]
where they will arrive this evening and
be welcomed at a reception tendered
by the parents of the groom. The best
wishes of frieids in Americus go with
them there.
Mr. Wakofitld is a yoong man of
wealth and social prominence. His
pretty bride, since her debut in June
last, bas been a favorite socially in
Americas ani loved by all for her
beanty, grace and accomplishments

Fruit Growers Here Hope That The
Elbertas Escaped,
Fruit growers in Americas yesterday
expressed the firm belief that the large
orchards here escaped injury from
yesterday’s hard freeze, as well as
from that of the day before. The
trees, they say, have not yet budded
out to o degree where cold would hurt
thorn, and while the later varieties may
have suffered some injury the great
hulk of the crop is sti.l safe. Fruit
men in other portions of the slate, as
seen from interviews published yes
terday, express the belief that no dam
age has beeu done. Major G. M.
Ryais, one of the moat extensive and
successful-peach growers in Georgia,
is of this opinion.

ness done last year, and Mr. Champion Cltl * on Hero Searches In Vain For a
