SWEAT-BELL.
The Marriage of Miss Mary Lou Bell, of
Lawlonvllle, to Mr. James Reed Sweat,
of Savannah, Occurred on Wednesday
Last.
A marriage of much interest ow
ing to ihe prominence of the youDg
couple was that of Miss Mary Lou
Bell of this Diace to Mr.Jsmes Reed
Sweat, of Savannah, at high noon
on New Year’s day at the hospita
ble home of her adopted parents,
Mr, and Mrs J. T. Reeves.
The ceiemony was performed un
der a beautiful arch in the center o!
the parlor, covered with evergreens
and white chrysanthemums. The
parlor was darkened and lit up with
numerous lamps which shed a soft
radiance over the beautifully deco
rated room-the color scheme “as
green and white.
The groom Entered the parlor
with his best mao, Mr. David L
Furse, of Savannah, and took po
sition at the right of the arch, then
came MissCassie Johnson, maid of
honor and took position on the left.
Then came little Elizabeth Me Mas
ter, flower girl, followed by Mr. J
T. Reeves with the bri^e on his
arm, and who gave away the bride
The groom siepped forward and
joined his bride beneath a large
horse shoe of white flowers. They
were united iu marriage according
to the Episcopal ceremony ufing a
ring, by Rev. Dr. Jordan, of Savan
nah, a prominent Baptist divine,
and pastor of the church of which
the groom is a member.
The bride wore a beautiful and
becoming tailor-made gown of grey
cloth trimmed in stitched bands of
gray corduroy velvet, with hat to
match, and carried a bouquet o'
bride’s roses tied with long, white
satin streamers. She made a most
beautiful picture in her gray suit
with her fair and dainty loveliness
her beautiful golden hair and soft
blue eyes. The groom aud bis best
man were dressed iu the regulation
black suits with white ties.
After the congratulations were
over dinner was announced and all
adjourned to the dining room
When the door was opened it look
ed like fairy land. The color
scheme of green and white was
continued there; the walls being
entirely covered with green and
dotted here and there with the
large white chrysanthemums.
Wl I e satin ribbons were fastened
to the chandelier over the table
and caught at each of the four
corne r s with a large white chrysan
themums. The table was covered
with snowy linen, and ornamented
in elegant style with fruits, flowers
and frosted cakes, the dinner has
seldom been equalled and never
surpassed,
Mrs. Reeves has long been noted
for the elegances of her dinings
and she not only did herself full
justice on this occasion, but she
simply out did herself. Every one
was loud in praise of the delicious
viands. Your correspondent has
always been in favor of the expan
sion theory, and never more so
than when seated by such a sumpt
uous spread.
The bride was the adopted daugh
ter of Mr, and Mrs. J. T. Reeves,
who had entire charge of her since
the death of her father, Mr. Elias
Bell, 13 years ag“, her mother also
dying five months later, leaving
her a little golden-haired tot of five
years to the care of her cousin, Mrs.
Mattie Reeves, who has been a de
voted mother to her, and nobly dis
charged every duty to the orphan
The beauty and wealth of the bride
made her a favorite wherever she
went. The groom is a young gen
tleman of fine social position in Sa
vannah, and stands high In church
and business circles, and has inter
ests in large rice plantations below
Savannah, that was owned by his
father whose sad death occurred
only one month ago, it was owiDg
to the recent bereavement that
there were not more invited guests
Those present were: Mrs, Sweat,
mother of the groom, Mrs. Fred
King, sister, and Mr. Allen Sweat,
brother of the groom, Mr, Percival
M. King and Mr. David L Furse,

A Letter from China,
The lollowing letter has been re
ceived by Mrs. R. C. Neely, of this
ity, from Rev. Young J. Alien, of
Shanghai, China It will be read
with interest by her mauy friends
here:
Shanghai, China, Nov. 30,1901.
My Dear Mrs Neely: You
will hardly be expecting to hear
from me but somehow I feel that a
ine to you would be a great pleas
ure to me. I have often thought of
you and of the pleasant visit of my
daughter and myseif at your home
and of the kindness of Mr Neely
and now that I am once more in
China in the midst of my work, I
feel it to he a privilege to make
this slight acknowledgement of my
great indebtedness to you. You
will be pleased to learn that J
reached home Nov. 3d, having come
via London, and made the entire
voyage round the world in just 75
day?; and that is more wonderful
on an even keel’d.
I found China on a boom. The
tide was makiDg strong and all the
tied up boats or those stranded for
the past three years were getting
ready to set sail. There was much
confusion but the future is assured
ar>d I begin to feel that my 40 years
in the wilderness have brought me
at iast to a Pisgah top where I too
can survey the promised land. Tell
Mr. Neely that China is also the
land of milk and honey to our South
land enterprise and if our people
are wise the South, via the Isthmian
caual will be able to redeem itself
from European domination and
hold the Eastern markets. Thank
ing you again for all your kindness,
believe me, my dear Mrs. Neely,
Yours,
Young J. Allen.
