Mission Circle, served the refreshments in
the dining room, and in the sitting room
were exhibited the numbers of beautiful
presents received. These included a great

more substantial gifts await the happy

they will commence housekeeping at once.
Mr. Cotter is assistant manager of the
Standard Oil Company in Norfolk, and
his holding such a responsible position for
a young man is an evidence Of his true

Savannah for Virginia.
The charming bride is the younger daugh-
ter of DIR. and Mrs. George

lovable nature has a wide circle of friends.
Both young people will be greatly missed
in Savannah and carried with them yes
