eceremony of the Moravian church. (Photo by Tidwell Studios.)
A quaint ceremony, full of the sym
bolism of an old-world religion, will

will be married Wednesday evening
at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs.
WVer, at No. 17 Druid place.

tle known in this part of the South,
although the first Moravians, driven
from Austria-Hungary to this land
by religious persecution in the sev
enteenth century, settled in the new
and tolerant colony of Georgia.
'~ Most of the Moravians in the Unit
ed States are in the Middle Eastern
Statcs, principally in Pennsylvania,

faith in Winston-Salem, N. C., the
bride’'s former home, of which the
pastor, Rev. E. C. Stemple, will offi

white Bible and prayer book. Other
details of rite are likewise white, in
cluding an Improvised altar in the
Oliver home, with its festoon of white
tapers, bride roses and lilies.
The Moravian Church is an evan
elical church founded in the Austro
ungarian crownlands of Moravia
nd Bohemia in the reformation pe
iod of the seventeenth century. Its
embers moved gradually westward,
ttling in Saxony and coming later
numbers to the United States,
here according to figures about ten
rs old, there are 112 churches with
09 pastors, 23896 members and 15,-
73 communicants.
The bride's sister as matron of
onor, Dr. T. H. Longino as best
n, and Miss Imaal Patterson as
g bearer will be the attendants.
i MeGregor will play Mendels
hn's wedding march and Miss L.
P. Pattillo will sing “Because,” and
“My Dear.” The bride will be given
away by her brother, Karl Mont
gomery, of Charleston, S. C.
The bride will wear a dress of dark
blue velour with a French toque to
match, and carry orchids showered
with lilies of the valley. After the
ceremony the couple will leave for
Savannah and New York for two
weeks and upon their return will
live in Florida.
Among the guests from out of town
will be Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Johnson,
of Newnan, Mrs. E. C. Stemple, of
Winston-Salem; Leon Jones, of Ro
anoke, Va.; S. C. Sewell, of Bowden,
Ala.; Mr, and Mrs. W. C. Sewell, of

Although no further clew had

whereabouts of Mrs. H. W. Finch,
of Kirkwood, and her 2-year-old
girl, who disappeared Saturday
and at first were thought to have
met death in the Chattahoochee

Efforts were being made Wed

lowing the information of Tues
day that a bareheaded woman,
answering the description of Mrs.
Finch, and carrying a little girl in
her arms, had approached a Cobb
County fruit tree agent near Bol

back to Atlanta.” It was believed
by the police that this woman
was Mrs. Finch, and that she
boarded a river trolley car for the
city at the b-cent fare limit at
Fisher avenue.
Officers also sought to learn
whether a woman and chiid of the
description of the missing pair
had purchased a railroad ticket
out of the city. It was the pre

LONDON, Nov. 28.—That the Bol
sheviki leaders in Petrograd have ac
tually opened peace pourparleurs with
the Geormans through T'nsign Kry
lenko, the recently appointed com
mander-in-chief of the Russian ar
mies, was shown today by a fragment
of a wireless message that was
picked up.
The message consiste dos congrate
ulations from the Bolsheviki leaders
in Petrograd to Krylenko for his ef
forts in behalf of a “just, general and
democratic peace.”
According to previous reports, Ger
man peace agents are at work behind
the Russian lines, and Russian emis
saries are behind the German front.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—There
was a growing feeling In diplomatic
circles today that the proposal of the
Bolsheviki government of Russia for
a three months’ armistice should be
answered by the United States.
Refusal to answer the note for
warded by Ambassador Francis to the
State Department would be inter
preted in Russia to mean that the
United States does not want peace,
and that the things.the Bolsheviki
have said about this Government were
true. Thus the agitation for quitting
the war would gain support and the
Bolsheviki be intrenched.
Russians who have the best interest
of this country at heart believe Presi
dent Wilson should make the position
of the United States clear in a note
addressed directly to the Russian peo
vle. Such a note could reiterate the
need for continued war against the
Kaiser if democracy is to continue in
existence and the Russians are to hold
their nowly won freedom. In the opin
fon of many diplomats, this move
would undermine the power of the
Bolsheviki.
Reports that the entente Allles are
planning summary action with Russia
unless an end is put to the peace ac
tivities of the Bolsheviki were be
lieved by diplomats to have been in
spired by the Germans for the pur
pose of creating enmity in Russia to
the entente,
Russian Embassy officlals believed
today that Maklakof, Russian Ambas
sador to France, would be a party to
the inter-allied conference at Parls,
That the ILenine Government in
Russia will eoncludé a separate peace
with Germany is believed now to be
a matter of days only. But officials
here today are in receipt of informa
tion indicating that such a peace will
not be accepted by the Rusisan people
and that the army as a whole will
stand out against desertion of Rus
sia’s allies.
Dispatches from Ambassador Fran
cis at Petrograd detailing the situa
tion there have been received, but
have not been made public. It is un
derstood he has reported the result
of the various conferences which
have been held betwen the Entente
diplomats in Petrograd.
It has been learned that a definite
program has been arranged which
calls for insistence that the existing
government recognize the treaty
pledges of Russia and for a general
withdrawal should these pledges be
violated and a separate peace con
summated,
