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.

Mr. Fletcher and handsome John Hancock of the G. S, & F, spent Sunday in the city. Elder J. T. Reynolds preached an ful hillB for which Houston is noted, instructive sermon at Pleasant Hill and was brilliantly illuminated and Sunday. 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. Success waits upon him who uses wisdom with energy aad discretion 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.
