assembled at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. D. Martin, on Washing
ton Avenue, to witness the mar
riage of the youngest daughter of
the household to Mr. J. R. Miller,
Jr.

ful touch of Mrs. L. M. Paul, the
sweet tones of a beautiful wedi*
ding march were heard, and the
bride and groom, preceded by the
matron of honor, marched into
the hall and stood beneath a chain
of roses that adorned the per-
tierre. Then in most impressive
style Rev. Albert S. Dix pro
nounced the ceremony, that made
Mr. J. R. Miller, Jr. and Miss
Kathryne Martin man and wife,
each having pledged to other their
fealty in accord with the injunc
tion that “Whom God hath joined
together, let not mail put asun
der.”
Mrs. R. W. Cawthrou of Quit-
man, college chum of the bride,
was matron of honor; there were
no attendants.
After cordial congratulations
and best wishes had been extend
ed, amid a shower of rice for
“good luck” the happy pair with
friends entered a carriage and
went to Tivola to board the G S.
& F. train northward bound.
They went direct to Lookout
Mountain in Tennessee, and from
there to visit other points in that
state.
Returning the latter part of
this week, they will be at home
where they were married.
As an evidence of the esteem
in which the young couple were
held, there were a large number of
bridal presents, verv pretty and
without exception useful in char
acter.
The hall and parlors were taste
fully decorated.
The happy pair have the most
cordial wishes of their friends for
happiness and prosperity through
out a long and useful life.
