Wedded at Wellston.
I
One of the most brilliant and
beautiful home weddings that ever
occurred in Wellstou was that of
Miss Eva Florynne Frederick and
Mr. James D. Owens, which was
consummated in the presence of a
large assemblage of friends from
Macon, Fore Valley and other places,
as well as the many friends of the
family at Wellston.
The elegant home of Mr. J. M.
Frederick crowns one ! of the beauti-
Wellston Wonders.

decorated throughout in exquisite
taste for the . bridal of this fair
daughter. Large numbers of mag
nificent palms and smilax were used
in the effective decorations. The
whole house was thrown open to. the
guests, which numbered about two
hundred.
The ceremony was performed in
the. long drawing-room, where an
artistic arrangement of palms form
ed a beautiful background for the
bridal party.
Exactly at 7 o’clook Miss Louisa
Jones of Walden and Mr. Floyd
Frederick of Wellston entered, fol
lowed by Miss Naomi Hatcher of
Maoon and Mr, John Lewis of
Havana, Miss Edna Harrison of
Grovania and Mr, Ross Hatcher of
Macon, forming a semi-oircle in the
rear of the room. Then came the
groom, leaning on the arm of his
best man, Mr. Clinton Watson of
Wellston. Immediately came the
bride leaning on the arm of her
maid, Miss Edna Ray of Lizella,
where Rev. J. T. Reynolds awaited
them. Never did the Baptist cere
mony seem more beautiful and im
pressive than as this pair exchanged
marriage vows and Mr. Reynolds
pronounced them man and wife.
The elegant simplicity of the
bride’s toilet onlyjserved to enhance
her beauty. She wore a lovely dress
of white crepe de chine, and carried
a shower bouquet of white carna
tions with streamers of white satin
ribbon. The only ornaments the
bride wore were pearls.
The maid of honor, MisB Edna
Ray, was beautifully gowned in
mousseline over pink satin, and she
carried a large bouquet of pink car
nations with streamers of ribbon of
the same shade.
The bridesmaids were beautifully
gowned in white organdie over
white silk.
The ceremony was followed by
congratulations and a brilliant re
ception from 7 to 10.
The wedding presents, which were
many and very handsome and cost
ly, attest the popularity of Mr. and
Mrs. Owens, both in this state and
wherever Mrs. Owens has visited as
Miss Frederick. She is a young wo
man who is possessed not only of
beauty of face and form, but also a
charming personality, which wins
and retains friends wherever she vis
its, and the young people of Wells
ton regret that her marriage will
take her to another circle, but are
rejoicing that ohe is not to leave our
town. Happy Willie.

Letter to Miss Lizzie M. Kunz,
Perry, Ga.
Dear Madam: A gentleman censur
ed us for addressing an open letter
to him in the papers. After we
pointed out that he was not made to
endorse our paint in the letter, and
proved our reputation and capital;
he became our very good friend,
used L. & M. on his house, and sent
an unsolicited testimonial of merit.
People would view our offer of “free
paint” with suspicion and doubt if
we did not explain that we give sev
eral owners of good houses presents
of paint in order that we may induce
local merchants to take agencies. If
you or any other house-owner bf
your town will tell us dimensions of
the house you are going to paint,
and how many coats you wish to
put on, vtfe shall be pleased to advis§.
as to the number of gallons we will
give “free of charge,” and suggest
some harmonious color combina
tions. L. & M. Paint went on some
50,000 houses in “1900;” a tremen
dous number, but the U. S t are very
big, and then its the only paint bet
ter and cheaper than lead; you thin
L. & M. with linseed oil same as you
do white lead.
Sincerely yours,
Longman & Martinez,

Dear sirs:—For almost fifteen
years I suffered from Indigestion,
and last winter thought I would
die, when my doctor, Dr. A. J.
Lieurance of this place, advised
me to try Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin, which I did, and two bot-
ties cured me. It not only re
lieved me, but it cured me so
that I have not been troubled
eiuce, If any one should offer
me $600 for the good Syrup Pep
sin has done me I would not think
of taking it. No one can take
your medicine without being con
vinced of its more than wonder
ful oures. I recommend it to all
my friends as a laxative and
stomach remedy.
Yours with gratitude,
Mrs. J. Morgan.
