ing interspersed with cut flowers,
following out a color scheme of
green and white. The altar
was arrayed with double arches
as were the entrances to the
aisles, the arched adorned with
smilax relieved here and there

Mr. James Butler and Miss Dove

her maid of honor, Miss Aubrey
* Arnold, who were met at the
altar by the groom and his best
' man, who advanced from the

party left the church by way of
the front entrance.

bridal party and a few intimate
friends at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. W. W. McMinn, cousins of
the bride.
This pretty home had been ar
ranged in festal attire, being a
bower of beauty, with the same
trailing smilax and white roses.
From the four corners of the
handsome dining table to the
chandelier above the smilax was
festooned, being brought over to
the four corners of the room.
Arv-iiU cmr>Vi onrrnii Mrs
McMinn and her assistants served
a delightful lunch of chicken
salad, sandwiches, pickles, coffee
and peppermints.
Many beautiful presents from
friends attested the popularity
^ of the high contracting parties.
r The bride was beautiful in a
handsome white radium silk, her
long bridal veil being held in
place with ferns and lillies of the
valley.
The maid of honor, Miss Ar
nold, was pretty in an exquisite
costume of crepe de chine.
Miss Dove Erwin was very
sweetly gowned in a white silk
with Valenciennes trimming, both
Misses Arnold and Erwin carry
ing bouquets of white carnations
and ferns.
Mr. and Mrs. Reiff left on No.
20 for Americus, Kansas, for a
two weeks’ visit to the groom’s
parents before returning to this
city, which they will make their
future home.
The bride is a very lovable
young lady and the groom a fine

normal during the week, with
light precipitation general over

the 11th and 12th, causing injury
to tender vegetation, and in
some localities stopping the
growth of cotton.

progress, and by the close of the
week about one-third to one-half
of the crop had been secured.
Late cotton was materially dam
aged by the boll worms and no
top crop of consequence may be
expected.
Corn is being secured with
poor to fair yield.
Sweet and Irish potatoes, peas
and turnips generally doing well,
but beginning to need more
moisture in some localities.
Fall plowing retarded by dry
weather.
Early sown wheat corning up

at about 5 o’clock in the after
noon.
