,1 beautiful were the decorations,
southern smilax sent expressly for
the occasion was used to garland the
walls and archways.
Sweet peas, carnations and roses
were effectively arranged in the li

where a color motif of pink pre
vailed. The stairway was entwined
with smilax and French baskets
showered with roses and sweet peas
were placed at intervals on the land
ings. In the reception room, which
was the scene of the wedding, rich
green palms and ferns formed the
background for floor baskets and
cathedral candelabra holding white
tapers. Suspended from the hand
some chandelier which cast an opal
escent glow over the bridal scene,
was an exquisite shower of tiny
white roses and valley lilies entwined
with soft tulle and asparagus fern.
The wall mirrors were ornamented
with a dainty tracery of ferns and
white rosebuds and -the reflections of
the beautiful bridal party added
greatly to the charm of the happy oc
casion.
Preceding the marriage service a
beautiful musical program was ren
dered by Mrs. C. M. Dunn, pianist,
Miss Elizabeth Eley, violinist, and
Miss Jessie Collier, soloist.
The first number was a violin ar
rangement of the Sextette from
“Lucia.” This was followed by three
lovely numbers by Miss Jessie Col
lier, “God Touched the Rose,”
"Bridal Dawn,” and “Because.” Dur
ing the ceremony Mrs. Dunn played
softly “All for You,” accompanied
by Miss Eley.
At the first note of Mendelssohn’s
wedding march the pages entered in

bridal party entertained
The dinner with which Miss Helen
Wooten entertained the Henslee-
Fowler wedding party Friday night,
January 16, at her home on Thomas
ton street, was one of the most ar
tistic and beautiful affairs of the
series of parties preceding the mar-
riage.
In the spacious hall and reception
room were arranged graceful ferns,
bowls of narcissi and white hya
cinths. The wall vases of yellow jas
mine and dainty peach blossoms cre
ated a suggestion of early spring,
while real warmth and glow came
from the large open fires and appro
priately placed candles.
In the dining room, where the
party was seated at the exquisitely
appointed table, the same atmos
phere prevailed. The unusual dec
oration of the table was quite artistic
and suggestive. An aisle was formed
by the use of miniature floor vases
holding valley lilies and ferns con
nected w’ith narrow white satin rib
bon. In the center w T as a small gar
landed arch under which stood a stal
wart little groom in full dress and a
shy little bride in point lace. The
blushing little maids in vari-colored
chiffon, bouffant effect, were stand
ing on either side within the aisle.
Over this miniature wedding scene,
shedding a soft glow, was the rose
petal covered chandelier, from which
were suspended tiny silver bells.
Silver candle sticks with unshaded
tapers were placed near each end of
the table, on the mantle and buffet.
An elegant course dinner was
served to the happy party whose
places were marked with a bridal
place card. The favors were a small
shower bouquet for the bride, nose
gays for the ladies and boutonnieres
for the men.
Covers were laid for Miss Myr
trude Henslee, Mr. Benjamin W.
Fowler, Mr. Frank Fowler. Misses
Elizabeth Henslee, Mary Jordan, Lot
tie Mitchell, Gypsy Fowler, Jessie
Collier, Elizabeth Eley, Helen
Wooten, Mrs. C. M. Dunn and Mr.
Earl S. Hawkins of Greenville, Tenn.
The bride-elect was charming in a
lovely model of orchid georgette,
made on full, quaint lines. At in
tervals on the skirt were ostrich
pompons of a deeper shade.
The hostess was beautiful in a
most becoming gown of orchid chif
fon over turquoise crepe with tracer
ies of silver lace.

CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS
Ju '
First Methodist
Marvin A. Franklin, Pastor.
m - x *
N'Skt Sunday promises to be a great
day at the First Methodist church.
It might well be termed as “Sunday
School Day” throughout. Rev. Homer
Thompson, the conference superin
tendent of Sunday school work will
be with us all day. Through his
splendid efforts North Georgia
conference has taken a foremost
rank among all of the conferences of
Southern Methodism in the matter of
leadership training, and a great im
petus has been given to Sunday
| school work along all lines. He is
| also one of the strongest preachers
1 in the conference and will preach at
the eleven o’clock hour.
The weather has been against us
all this year but let the Sunday
school turn out in full force at 9:30
Sunday morning and let Dr. Thomp
son see us at our best. We ought
easily to have at least 250 in all the
departments Sunday. We can do it!
Let’s do it! Then let every member
of the school be at the morning ser
vice and hear the sermon from this
consecrated worker.
At the evening hour at 7 o’clock
Dr. Thompson will again have charge
of the service, this time bringing a
! great Sunday school lecture, profuse-
I ly illustrated with many stereoptican
slides and pictures. The public gen-
erally is cordially invited to attend
all the services.
If more than fifty attended the
Epworth League last Sunday night,
we should have at least 100 next
Sunday night with favorable weather.
The League cordially welcomed many
from the B. Y. P. U. last Sunday
night.
Notwithstanding the ‘‘impossible”
weather last Sunday we had a good
day. Almost 100 were at Sunday
school, and excellent congregations
at the morning and evening services.
We regretted the misfortune which
befell our Baptist brethren in the
flooding of their furnace roof, but
were delighted to have Brother Jack
son and many of his people worship
with us at the services. Their pres
ence was an inspiration to us and
helped to cement more closely the
bonds of Christian fellowship among
us. Our Presbyterian friends help
us much on the Sundays they have no
services at their church and we were
glad to be joined also by the Bap
tists last Sunday.
The “Illuminated Cross” was ef
fectively used Sunday evening. It is
a thing of beauty and will add much
to our evening services. The special
song rendered by a quartet stationed
in the balcony was very beautiful.
If you were not there Sunday night
be sure to come next time.
It is great to be alive and face to
face with the glorious opportunities
of the twentieth century. The gol
den age is not in the past but in the
present and the future! We need
not be discouraged and think sadly
of the “good old days,” for we can
make those ahead of us as good or
better than any which have gone be
fore! But we cannot do it by sit
ting down but only by being up and
doing. There is plenty to do. Then
let us all enter whole heartedly into
our work every day which comes,
grateful that we have a work to do
and then we have the strength to do
it. The day of accounting is coming
and we must meet our Lord and tell
Him just how we have used these
days which He has given us.

I^CHURCH^
Is it to my interest to go to
church Sunday? Most certainly.
For your spiritual life needs the help
that comes alone from worship. 2.
Self culture may be gained in this
way. 3. Fine fellowship with good
people. 4. It will help you to make
adjustments with people. 5. Gives
you a broader outlook on life. 6. It
will deepen your interest in the
worthwhile things of your communi
ty. 7. You may make some good
friends in this way. 8. It will satis
fy a good conscience. “GO TO
CHURCH” Sunday. “It Pays."
“Too Much Water for the Baptists.”
Yes, we were unable to hold our ser
vices last Sunday on account of too
much water in the boiler pitr—not too
much in the Baptistry however. The
heavy rains developed a leak some
where around the boiler room and
the fire boxes to our boilers were
underneath water. For this reason
all service:; had to be called off after
a short session of the Sunday school
which was crowded into the Woman’s
Bible class room.
However, those of us who attended
the Methodist church greatly enjoyed
their services. Brother franklin
brought two splendid sermons. And
the Illumniated Cross service was
beautiful and impressive.
Next Sunday morning the pastor
will speak from the same subject he
announced for last Sunday—“ Social
and Christian Salutations.” This is
an instructive, practical and interest
ing subject that will be of real help
to every one. There will also/be an
object lesson in colors for the chil
dren at this service. Every child is
urged to attend this service. You
will be glad you did. Do not miss it.
The Pastor has been requested by
the W. C. T. U. to preach on some
subject relative to Law Eenforce
i ment. And since Robt. E. Lee’s
| birthday was on the 19th we are
planning to speak on Idea! Citizen-
ship and use the life of Lee as a
model citizen. Come and join in
this good service.
Our Teacher’s Meetings are the
thing for helping your department or
class. Come every Wednesday even
ing at 6:45. Beginning on Monday
evening, February 1, we will con
duct a class in the New Sunday
School Manual. Also if you have
had the course, come and review it.
The B. Y. P. U.’s are planning to
do greater things. Get ready to
help them. Remember that they
meet every Sunday at Six p. m.
If you miss the Mid-week Prayer
service you are neglecting your
spiritual growth. And you are also
missing an opportunity to help de
velop the spiritual life of your
church.
Referring again to the “too much
water for the Baptists” we wish to
announce that we are planning to
have a Baptismal Service next Sun
day night. We invite you to be pres
ent at this beautiful service. The
Lord’s Supper and Baptism are the
two church ordinances and they give
the whole Gospel in pictures—Bap
tism illustrates the salvation of the
believer and sets forth the resurrec
tion.

Hardy of Barnesville rendered at
