MARRIAGE AT NOON YESTERDAY
NuptiaIs of Miss Sarah Turpin and MIR
Wakefield

Nuptials of Miss Sarah Turpin and MIR.
Wakefield
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
A. Turpin was the scene of q very beau
tIful wedding at noon yesterday when
Miss Sarah Turpin became the bride of
Mr. James Ray Wakefield. Quite an
assem- blage of friends were in attend
ance, as the occasion was ole of social
prominence and of more than usual in-
terest in Americas.
Certain is it, q prettier home wedding
was never witnessed here
The Turpin residence had been very
tastefulIy decorated for this happy oc-
casion, the first flowers of spring, 10
greatest profusion, lending to it their
wealth of fragrance and beauty,
The walls and ceiling of the parlor
and reception hall were festooned in
bamboo and evergreens, while stately
palms were banked in the large bay
window. Vases of japonlcas and 9th
er cut flowers were placed conspicuous
ly on mantels and tables; floral tri-
butte indeed to the fairer flower about
to be plucked and carried away.
The parlor had been darkened, and
many shaded lamps cast a soft light
upon the scene.
As Miss Nell Turp1n sounded the
wedding march the bridal party enter
ed and formed half circle before Rev.
W. L. Wootten, the officiating minis
ter, who stood in the bay window.
The bride looked radiantly beauti-
full in travelling costume of dark blue
broadeloth Mrs. William Hinkle, of
Kentucky, matron of honor, was at
tired in tailor suit of black, while
Miss Elite Tullis, maid of honor, wore
a lovely gown of light blue albatross
trimmed in real lace. Neither of the
ladies carried flowers.
Mr.. Frank Tu1pin, brother of the
bride, was best man of the occasion
and entered with Miss Tullis.
The marriage ceremony was brief
but very beautiful in it's simplicity,
and at its conclusion the assembled
company gathered about the young
couple to extend congratulations.
Shortly before 1 o'clock tempting
luncheon of salads, meats, CONNECTIONS
and ices was servad
Mr. and Mrs. Wakefield left at 3
o'clock by the northbound vestibu'ed
for their beautiful home in Wakefield,
Ky. one of the loveliest in that state,
where they will arrive this evening aud
be welcomed at reception rendered
by the parents of the groom. The best
wishes of frieI ds In Americus go With
them there.
Mr.. Wakefield is a young man of
wealth and social prominence. His
pretty bride, since her debut in June
last, has been a favorite socially in
Americas and loved by all for her
beauty, grace and accomplishments.

WILKINSON MAKES his ESCAPE
Dodged The Sheriff While He Watched

Dodged The Sheriff While He Watched
the Ships.
Deputy Sheriff Gatewood returned
here yesterday at noon from Is uas-
wick, bat the pair of bright new Ia md
cuffs which he expected to place upon
the wrists of j. w. Wilkinson, an
Americas negro in Brunswick Jail,
were in the officers coat pocket when
be arrived here
And Wilkinson bad gone to join the
birds in flying contest.
Deputy Gatewood felt bit sore at
having missed his prisoner, which was
no fault of his but rather that of the
officials of Glynn county who turned
Wilkinson loose all too soon.
The negro was muchIy wanted here
upon the charge of stealing money, and
when Sheriff Bell learned of his ca :
ture in Brunswick he ordered the negro
held until Deputy Gatewood could ar.
rive there by first train.
Upon reaching Brunswick he went
to the jail and identified Wilkinson.
AS the next train out did not leave
for several hours the Americus officer
babe the jaiIer keep the prisoner until
traihtime, Deputy Gatewood then
took stroll on the docks to take hur-
RED look at the shipping there.
When he returned to the jail two
hours later he was informed that the
negro had hired lawyer who, in his
absence, had instituted babeas corpus
proceedings ard secured the prisoners
release. This was done when it was
know n that the Sumter officer was there
for the prisoner.
Deputy Gatewood was both chagr1n-
ed and Disguised, though the failure to
get the prisoner was in nowise his
fault.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt.s Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure billiousness, iaundice, constipation
and inactive livers, by arousing the Sc
cretions, moving the bowels gently, yet
effectually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These fam
GUS little pills exert decided tonic eff
feet upon the organs involved, aud if
their use is continued for few days
there will be no return of the trouble.

yesterdays hard freeze, as we'll as
from that of the day before. The

SEVEN coLoRED GIRLS DEAD.
One White Woman Fatally Injured in
Walden Fire.

Nashville, 1enn.-Seven are dead
and II seriously injured as the result
of the fire in the woman's dormitory
of Walden university, an institution
for the education of colored people
President Hamilton was the first
member of the faculty to be appraised
of the fire. He hearl the screams OIL
the women, and, rushing to his win
dow, saw the flames bursting from the
building.
When he reached the door the fright
ened inmates had begun to hurl them
selves from the windows.
Several were killed in jumping or
crushed to death by those who follow
ed. The dormitory was a four story
building of brick, and the only means
of exit was down the main stairway,
which was soon cut off after the fire
broke out, and the inmates rushed
panicstricken through the smoke and
heat, seeking an avenue of escape,
Baffled in this, they sought the win
dows and hurled themselves headlong
to the ground.
Cora Bryant, who was sick in bed
on the fourth floor, is missing and is
believed to have been burned to death.
All the dead and injured, with few eX-
ceptions, are negroes from southern
states. Among the injured are Miss
Eleanor Moore (white) of Chicago, a
preceptress, who was fatally hurt, and
Bertha Morford of Chicago, who also
will die.
