MARRIAGE OF MISS NICHOLSON
AND DR. J. P. McGRATH.
The Edgefield Chronicle says of the
Nicholson-McGrath weeding:
Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock,
at "Holly Hill,” the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Albert R. Nicholson, occurred the
marriage ceremny of their lovely and
beloved young daughter, Miss Lillian
Lee Nicholson, to Dr. John Francis,
McGrath, of New Y’ork City. Father
Lanigan, of Aiken, performed the
profoundly solemn service of the Ro
man Catholic Church.
The blissfully happy and handsome
couple immediately dashed away in an
automobile to Augusta, where they
boarded the train for Tampa, and
from there they sped over to the
Cuban metropolis of Havana.
The full and graphic description of
this beautiful wedding will appear in
our next issue. We were disappoint
ed in not being able to handle It this
week.
The entire house thrown open to
the guests was exquisitely adorned
with gorgeous yellow chrysanthe
mums. The bride wore a beautiful
gown of lustrous charmeuse with del
icate laces and carried a bouquet of
valley lilies. Her veil was confined
to the graceful coiffure with a half
wreath of valley lillee. The maids
all wore dainty gowns of cream lace
with yellow girdles and carried arm
fuls of yellow chrysanthemums. The
groom’s best man was his brother,
Mr. McGrath, of New York.
Dr. and Mrs. McGrath are enjoying
a trip to Cuba before going to New
York, where they will make their
home in New York.
Among the guests were Miss Elolse
Lynah, of Savannah, Ga. She is a
young and bewitching girl—to the
manner born—possessing Intelligent
and beautiful manners. She is of
ante-bellum "long-lined” descent, in
heriting many fine qualities of her
mother, who was Miss Heyward, and
her distinguished father. Miss Lynah
added much to the pleasure of this
joyous wedding this week.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
Augusta Is probably not the slowest
town in the world, but like all other
progressive cities needs a boom now
and then, so here is a suggestion from
one of the matrons: A small western
town was once on the down grade, and
a real estate firm started up a boom
for a woman mayor. "The suffrage
bureaus from one end of the country
to other,” says a writer in Collier’s,
"took it up and from being a little un
heard of, no account place with hardly
sidewalks enough to go around, we all
at once found ourselves on the map,”
was acknowledged by the real estate
man.
We are already on the map, but we
might try the suffrage scheme and
boom up Augusta in the same way.
We have been advertised by Taft,
Rockefeller, Ty Cobb, Stallings and
other national subjects, and it would
probably be rather an advertisement to
have the press of the country herald
ing the news that Augusta is the first
southern city which put up a woman
for a prominent office without await
ing for their women to get the ballot.
Thousands of dollars were spent in
advertising scenic, commercial and
climatic values of Dos Angeles, Seat
tle, and other western cities, but these
same cities got more real advertising
by the suffrage movmnt, which cost
nothing, than by all their paid adver
tlsinents.
We put it over all right and real es
tate has gone way up, says our real
estate man from the west, and fur
thermore, ,if you want to get in line
with the much talked of and written
about cities, just you negotiate with
the suffragists. They will give your
city lots of prominence, and people will
want to know where is the town that
is raising so much cain. 'Twill do more
good than advertising In New York
that bonds are for sale for flood pro
tection for Augusta, or that the streets
are blocked with unsold cotton, or that
We are too poor to give
charity. Cut out all of the hard
luck stories from our newspapers,
and let us tell the world that the wo
of Augusta are shoulder to shoulder
with the men in making the old town
hum with prosperity.
Many years ago, a woman's rights
convention was held at a small village
called Seneca Falls in New York state.
For the first time in their lives, thous
ands of people knew there was a town
by that name on the map, and Seneca
Falls has been booming up and over
itself ever since.
If Augusta needs advertising let
some one start something in this line
and we will also be a much-talked of
and much-asked about city. Why it
will be handeil down In history that
Augusta was the first and only city in
the, south which had the nerve to come
out and endorse women for office
holders.
