The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-01

When may we look for the social whirl
of dances, germans, teas, receptions and
card parties to recommence? Not for
two or three weeks, at least, and that will
b after the election, Of coursev'
As there anything that will not be after
the election, which is to decide all things
political, financial and even social-for
financial and social affairs are closely in
terwoven, and political disappointments
this year may necessitate a quiet winter
for goldbugs or silver men, as the case
may be. Certainly throughout the length
and breadth of the land there is but one
all absorbing topic of thought and CONVEX
sation this week-and 1t is not society.
Invitations have been sent out by Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Roderick Mills Of Crit
fin for the marriage of their daughter,
Elizabeth Cope, to Mr.. Howard Irwin Watt
of Atlanta. The event will take place on
Friday, Nov. 70, at st. Georges church
in Griffin. Miss Mills has chosen for her
wedding day Nov. 10 for the reason that
her mother, aunts and grandmother were
welded on Nov. 13. That date has been
the family wedding day for several gem
creations. This time it happens to fail
on Friday, but Miss Mills can afford to
defy all superstitions with the prospect Of
prosperity and happiness she has before
her.
