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 MACON, GA. J. J. Cobb, President. Thos. B. West, Sec, and Att’y. MONBY.

HOWARD M. SMITH, Vo. 814 Bsn»»4 St.. Macon, Ga. £ m HAVE BEEN For several years for a oasehf Piles, Boils, Cuts, Burns, Bruises, Sore and Fevered Breast, Old Sores, Insect Bite 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 age. Use it. Your money back if you are not satisfied. If your druggist does not have it in stock,send us 60 cents and. we will send you a large box by mail. Mbs. Annie M. Pope & Go., 626 Bismark Place, Jacksonville, Fla 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. Observer. 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.
