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 Griswoldvild. Wiley Haddock of Quitman with Miss Kate Hodges of Perry. Jay Miller of Perry with Miss Alice Walker of Tennille. George Jones of Macon with Miss Oorinpe Baldwin of Perry. 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. Rural Free Delivery.
