Last Wednesday Morning in
*he Presence of Many Friends
of Popular Couple.
The marriage of Miss Annie
Grace 15 rim berry, of this city, to
Mr. David Vassar Thompson, of
Pelham, which was solemnized in
the Methodist church here last
Wednesday morning at 9:30
o’clock, was one of the most bril
liant social events occuring in Oa
milla in many years. The promi¬
nence of both families and the fact
that both parties are popular in
social circles of South Georgia had
caused much interest to be centered
in the approaching nuptials and
brought a number of out-of-town
relatives and friends to the city to
attend the wedding.
The wedding was a pink one and
in the handsome decorations of the
church, this delicate color scheme
was evidenced by artistic arrange
ments of numerous piuk roses.
Palms and ferns were banked high
behind the altar and in the chair
stand, making a beautiful back¬
ground for the bridal party.
The church was filled with eager
and expectant friends. Just be
fore the ceremony Mrs. Clara
Twitty sang, in a touchingly beau¬
tiful way, “AH For You, Sweet¬
heart.” Promptly at 9:30 o’clock
Mendelssohn’s wedding march,
rendered by Miss Caro Twitty,
rang out, announcing the arrival
of the bridal party.
The bridal party came iu the
following order: The ushers
entered first, Dr. F. L. Lewis with
Mr. It. C. Stevens and Mr. J. T.

they were followed by bridesmaids
and groomsmen. The bridesmaids

Bush, Wrennie Heath, Cleveland
Baggs, Neva Brimberry aud Lil
liau Bradley. The groomsmen
were Messrs. Frank Bussey, W.
C. Twitty, Dr. C. A. Stevenson,
T. A. Barrow, P. E. Bailey and
C. C. Baggs. Next followed the
little flower girls, Misses Lula
Will Brown and Gertrude Butler,
strewing rose petals in the path of
the bride.
The bride entered with her maid
of honor, Miss Pearl Andes, and
was met at the chancel rail by the
groom aud his best man, Col. J. J.
Hill, where the marriage service
was pronounced by Bev. E. M.
Whiting in a most impressive man¬
ner. The bridesmaids and grooms¬
men stood within the chancel
where they were grouped on
either side of the altar.
During the ceremony “Narcis¬
sus” was played softly on the or¬
gan.
The bride, who is a lovely girl of
the brunette type, wore a hand¬

with aigrettes. She carried a
beautiful shower boquet of white

Miscellaneous Shower.
Notwithstanding the exceedingly
dry weather, quite a heavy
shower occurred at the home of
Mrs. J. L. Brown last Friday for
Mrs. Branch Cullens, whose mar¬
riage occurred about two weeks
ago.
The shower was gotten up by
the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and
Tenth grades of Camilla High
School, to show iu a substantial
way the esteem in which she was
held by her former school mates.
Their gifts were supplemented by
many pretty things sent in by the
ladies of the town as soon as they
heard of the surprise that was be¬
ing prepared.
Mrs. W. F. Cullens was taking
the bride out for a drive and pro¬
posed that they call on Mrs. Brown.
The trap was well set and the vic¬
tim an easy one. When they en¬
tered the parlor aud found it
crowded with ladies, who imme¬
diately began pelting the much be¬
wildered little bride with gifts,
it was some time before she could
take in the situation. She did,
however, aud her delight was more
than equal to her astonishment.
The collection of gifts was a mis¬
cellaneous one, including many
beautiful and useful presents of
linen, silverware, cut glass and
china.
Hot chocolate and wafers were
served in the hall by Mis. J. P.
McRee and Miss Cleveland Baggs.
About forty guest were present
including the school girls from the
seventh to the tenth grades besides
many other friends.
Mr. O. P. Sapp was showing
some very fine white yam potatoes
on the streets yesterday which
were grown on his farm near Ca¬
milla. The potatoes were set out
in an oat patch after the oats had
been cut, and off of about two acres
Mr. Sapp gathered between 400
and 500 bushels. He left several
at this office for os to sample and
we hereby extend our thanks.

Hundreds of tiny pink hearts were
placed among the vines and

maid of honor, the groom aud his
best man. A delicious salad
course was served with coffee, am¬

Woods Fires Destroy Property.
Considerable damage has been
done around Camilla the past week
by woods fires. Mr. Walter Acree
lost a lot of fencing Sunday in a
fire which burned nearly all day
iu the woods near his farm, aud
other farmers in that neighbor¬
hood had narrow escapes.
Fire got out in the woods east
of Mr. W. D. Palmer’s farm Tues¬
day and did several thousand dol¬
lars damage to railroad property.
Several thousand crossties were
piled along the railroad at this
point and something over a thou¬
sand of them were consumed before
the fire could be checked. The
railroad caught fire and two hun¬
dred yards of track was badly
damaged. The five o’clock pas¬
senger train was delayed about an
hour on account of the fire.
Miss Nina Hilliard is visiting
friends in Baconton this week.
Mr. Frank Holton attended the
auto races in Atlanta this week.
Dr. J. W. McLain, of Pelham,
attended to business in the city
yesterday.
Mrs. E. L. Whitworth will en¬
tertain this evening in honor of
her guest, Miss Mary Sutton, of
Shelbyville, Tenn.
About the only short crop in
this section of the state this year
is the cane crop. The dry weather
has damaged sugar cane consid¬
erably and new syrup may be ex¬
pected to sell a little higher this
year than usual.
