Marriage at Fort Valley.
From the Leader we clip the
folloging notice of a marriage
there last week:
“The social event of the season
in Fort Valley was the marriage,
on Wednesday afternoon of Miss
Mary Lizzie Green and Mr. W. B.
Smith.
“The ceremony occurred at the
Methodist church at 2 p. m. and
was impressively performed in
joint service by Rey. Francis H.
Craighall of Macon and Dr. O. A.
Thrower. The sacred edifice was
beautifully adorned with ferns
and flowers and an overflowing
house attested the popularity of
the young couple.
“The bride is the beautiful and
attractive daughter of Mr. and
■ Mrs. M. C. Greene, and has the
esteem and friendship of all who
know her.
“The groom is connected with
the Central Railroad offices in
Macon, and is deservedly popu
lar in that city as well as in Fort
Valley.
“Immediately after the ceremo
ny the bridal party left on a spec
ial car for Atlanta. From that
city the bride and groom will
make an extensive tour of the
north and east. They will be at
home to their many friends in
Macon after November 1st.”
The Home Journal joins their
many friends in extending cor
dial congratulations and best
wishes.
