 SELMA, Nov. %, {

At the residence of the brides parents at orrville, at 7:S0 Wednesday evening, the solemn words were pronounced by Rev. l. l. White In the First Baptist church that made Mir. John b. Dunnaway and Miss Pink Ellis one for life.
 The church was beautifully decorated with palms, ferns, bamboo and ivy. As the soft notes of the wedding march pealed forth under the artistic touch of Miss w. E. Sutton the ushers, Messrs. J. B. Ellis, 0. c. Cleveland, Dr. R. L. Sutton and T. J. Russell marched slowly up the aisles, followed by the maids of honor, Misses Zaidee Ellis, Mary Averett, Viola Ddaaa- way, Mary Burt, Hannah Crook, Kate Wech, Nellie Bowen and Annie AleXan- der.
 Just before the ceremony elegant 5 o'clock dinner was served at the residence of the parents of the bride, which for sumptuousness and elegance has rarely been equaled and never excelled in Dallas county, so noted for the generous hosp.- taity of it's people. Everything that could tempt the appetite ln the way Of edibles or please the eye as to decorations was there, all arranged in that tasteful and elegant manner that betokens refinement, educa- ton and culture.
 A special train pulled out from the depot at 8 late hour in the afternoon, carrying a large number of the friends of the contract ing parties from this city to the wedding.
 The groom is a manly fellow with heart that beats to every generous impulse, and has a large circle of friends, who congratu- late him most heartily on the prize he has won as a companion for life.
 The bride is one of Dallas county's most accomplished young ladies, noted for hor beauty of person and still more beautiful character. No young lady was ever more popular with the young people of Selma, and hundreds of them wait congratula- tions to the happy couple, who are now on their wedding tour.
 ALMOST FATALITY.
 As the Orrville special was carrying the party of Selmians out to the Dunnaway- Ellis wedding there came very near being a fatal accident at the crossing just this side of the Valley creek bridge. Mrs. B. $. Bibb and Miss Hortense Robbins were out driving. The horse commenced to kick as be went down into the cut, and turned the buggy over just as the train came dashing side of the track while the buggy was upset -on the other, the train ashjpG shetyy. Gen the vehfcfe and it's occupants almost at the instant the accident occurred. There is a heavy grade at this place, and the train went hundred feet or more before it could be checked up.
 AS it was the ladies were only slightly bruised, but it was narrow escape from terrible death that almost makes one shud- der to contemplate.
 TO OPEN THEIR NEW ROOMS.
 On next Tuesday night the Calumet club will open their new rooms with a swell re- ception. This is one of Sclma's most hourishing social organizations and bids fair to eclipse them all in the number and splendor of it's entertainments.
