Marriage at Perry.
Including the reception Tues
day night, the marriage at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Nor
wood Wednesday morning was an
exceptionally pretty home wed
ding.
From nine to twelve o’clock
Tuesday night the home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Norwood was
filled with happy wedding guests.
The hall, parlor and reception
room were artistically decorated
with ferns, evergreens and flow
ers, while the color scheme was
pink and white.
Just before supper was served
the attendants cut the emblem
cake,Jwhich contained a thimble,a
dime, a ring, a button and a col
lar button. Then the attendants
drank nectar from a loving cup to
the health and happiness of the
bride and groom.
In all its appointments, the
beauty and gallantry of the
guests, the brilliant illumination,
beautiful decorations, the deli
cious refreshments, with social
pleasure reigning throughout, the
reception was a fitting prelude to
the marriage to follow.
During the evening the guests
were shown the bridal presents,
which were many, beautiful, val
uable and useful.
Wednesday morning the house
was again filled with guests, and
at 10 o’clock the exquisite strains
of a Wedding March pealed forth
from piano and cornet. From an
opposite . room donw the hall
came the wedding party, into the
parlor, having passed through a
bridal lane of white ribbon made
byMisses Eunice Wells and Eunice
Bronson* with Masters William
Henry Bronson and W. H. Nor
wood. Immediately in the center
of the room bride and groom
stood, above them pendant from
the oeiling a white dove, and be
neath this emblem of purity,
peace and love, they pledged each
to other affeotion and fealty
through life unto death. Group
ed about the bride and groom
were the attendants, in front the
minister, Rev. J. W. Simmons,
who in impressive style, voiced
the ceremony by authority of God
and man, pronounced man and
wife Mr. George Pierce Flanders
andJMiSs Nolle Kathrine Norwood.
The attendauts were:
Best Man, Louis Flanders of
Cochran, brother of the groom.
Bride’s Maid, Miss Annie^Nor-
wood, Bister of the bride.
Milton Flanders of Lyons
with Miss Charlie Moore of Ma
con.
Guy Carswell of McRae with
Miss Pauline Smoak of Perry.
John McKay of Scotland with
Miss May Hodges of Perry.
John Houser of Fort Valley
with Miss Hattie Wan Buren of

Clinton Cooper of Perry with
Miss Josephine Lee of Macon.
Ernest Kemp of Scotland with
Miss Evelyn Powers of Perry,
Only time for congratulations
was given the guests, when the
bride and groom, with a number
of the wedding party, departed to
Tivola, and from there went to
their future home at Sootland,
Ga.
As usual, the departing bride
and groom were pelted with rice,
and the carriage in which they
rode to the depot was profusely
decorated, as were the harness,
with rags, paper and old shoes.
If the happiness evidenced on
their marriage day be a criterian,
certainly sorrow will find no abid
ing place in their lives.
The groom is a young merchant
of Scotland, the bride the next
youngest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Norwood.
With most cordial congratula
tions we wish them all the good
that life can have in store.

From Wellston a route goes
north a mile or more and then
west, south and east, including
Minetre aand Havana ’post-of
fices. The route covers 28£ miles,
serves more than 100 families
and abolishes the offices named
above. Mr. T. W. Leverett is car
rier, with Mr. T. E. Watson as
substitute.
The route from Bonaire goes
west and south to a point within
less than a mile of Dennard, then
north more than a mile, then
west to Heard, then to Th ayp,
returning to Bonaire on a line
further north. This route covers
27 miles, Berves more than 100
familes and abolishes the Heard
and Tharp post-offices. Mr. J. R.
Stripling is carrier, with Mr.Rome

Applications have been made
for at least half a dozen other
routes, to be served from Perry,
Myrtle, Fort Valley and jByron,
respectively. Soon practically
the entire rural population will be
served by these routes, giving
them daily mail with conveniences
equal to to those enjoyed by the
town people.
