Cupid is not so dormant as By
ron had adjudged. Many months
have.crept slowly by since he has
publicly antiounce|d or manifest
ed his power, but all things come
to those who wait and, as Byron
has been a patient waiter, it is
now reaping its rich reward.
We are fond of variety, the
spice of life, therefore we have
requested Cupid to give U9 a dif
ferent style for each marriage he
contracts. • Seeing our earnest
ness, he complies by beginning
with the quiet, surprise ceremofiy
at the parsonage just two hours
after the arrival of our new Meth
odist pastor, Bro. J. E. MqMi-
chael. The contracting parties,
Miss Daisy Rushing of Byron and
Mr, John Grace of Walden were
happily joined at 7 p. m. Wed
nesday, Dec. 17th. Only a few
relatives and some friends who
stepped in to escort the new
preacher to prayer service at the
M. E. church, were witnesses of
the solemn rite. Mr. Grace is a
very energetic, successful farmer
of Walden. Miss Rushing, a beau
tiful, accomplished young lady,
was a successful teacher in Hous
ton public schools. The corps of
teochers will miss her from their
ranks. The new cople will reside
at Walden in the new home Mr.
Grace is having erected.
A wedding in the Baptist
church Thursday at 7:80 p. m.,
Dec. 18th, was a variation of af
fairs. The attendants upon the
ceremony began- to arrive at six
and continued until the house
was full to overflowing. During
the assembling, the accomplished
musician, Miss Hattie Warren,
presided at the organ, sending
fourth in melodious chirm
“Hearts and Flowers.” The
strains of Mendelsohn’s announc
ed to the anxious audience the
arrival of the bridal .party. The
beautiful bride-to-be, Miss Eate
Wagnon, marched up thp’left aisle
on the arm of Mrs. J. D. Heard,
matron of honor, while the forfcu
nate groom, Mr. C- H. Hardison,
marched up the right on the arm
of the best man, Mr. Butler Har

or Sting, Ringworm or Totter, that Mrs.
Pope’s Mullen Salve would not
cure, but so far we have been agreeably
disappointed. The verdict of all who
have used it is that it’s the one quick,
absolute and perfect healer. Nothing on
earth like it. Nothing sensational or
fakey about it. It stands on its merit.
It is put up in a neat and pretty pack

dison. “0 Promise Me” was
played softly through the impress
ive ceremony pronounced by the
pfistor, ID. R. Pendelton, which
made the twain man and wife.
The church was elaborately dec
orated with garlands of green and
white. A bell was suspended
from the arch in the rear, while
the happy couple stood on white
rugs underneathjthe'decorated um
brella. The letters W and H were
in prominence on the wall. Each
aisle was closed with arched col
unins covered with green and
white. The ushers were Messrs
Jno. Rushing r By^or and Neil
Slappy of Fort Valley. The pres
ents, consisting of many silver
pieces, cut glass, medalions, chi
na, etc., attest the popularity of
the couple. Mr. Hardison, a nar
tive of Houston, is doing a sue
cessful business in ForJ Valley,
where they will make their future
home. The amiable bride had
made for herself friends of every
acquaintance. For four years
she has been Post Mistress at By
ron,-so not only will she be missed
at home, the church, social circle,
but by all. May their’s be many
vears of happiness.

T. A. C. Meeting.
The Thursday Afternoon Club
held its last tegular meeting at
the residence of Mrs. R. L. Cater.
Another busy time was had, as
Anal arrangements were to be
made.for the Christmas reception.
We were sorry that Mrs. Den-
nard could not be with us,but we
welcomed with pleasure the bright
face of Mrs. Powers Cooper,
Mrs. Davis of Macon was a wel
come visitor and several of the
pretty spinsters, too, lent us the
charm of their presence.
Mrs. Cater, of course,did all in
her power to make the meeting a
pleasant one. As she never does
things by halves,the refreshments
were very elegant and the hot
chocolate as finish most agreea
ble on such a raw, windy after
noon. We thank her for her
courtesy and always enjoy a meet
ing at mer house.
The next meeting will be the
big Christmas reception at the
residence of Mrs. L. F. Cater on
the night of Deo. 80th.
The Club Editor wises all her
Club sisters a jovous Christmas.
