A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.
Ceremony in King-Reading Mar
rage One of the Prettiest

One of the most beautiful and inn

took place in this city was that of
the marriage last night at the Episco
pal church, in which Mr.. r. G.. King
and Miss Cornelia Atwood Reading
were made man and wife. The rec

presided at the organ, rendering
Lohengrin's march as the bridal party
entered. A beautiful flower song
during the ceremony and Mendles-
shon's wedding march as they left the
altar.
The bride, a vision of loveliness,
was beautifully arrayed in white Jap
anese tissue silk over white satin, and
carried a lovely bouquet of bidal roses.
Miss Marguerite Reading. sister of
the bride, wore white organdie over
yellow silk, and carried boqueG of
white carnations The church was
decorated in manner most beautiful
and artistic. Tangle vine, white car
nations and goldenrods were profuse
ly scattered, the walls and windows
being draped with them, and pot
plants, such as palms, ferns, ETC., lent
an added charm to the decorations.
The fact of the great popularity of
the young couple was fully attested
by the congratulations rice
showered upon them Immediately
after the ceremony, and the tokens of
esteem in the form of bridal gifts
were also very much in evidence, they
receiving many handsome and expen-
sive presents. Mr.. King is a wealthy
and popular lumberman of this city,
and Miss Reading is numbered with
our most popular and attractive young
ladies.

and will make this city their perman-
ent residence.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS.
Adjourned Meeting Held to Pass up
on Bills and Receive Report of
Franchise Committee.

Lsat night an adjourned meeting
of the mayor and board of aldermen
was held in the city hall, at which
several bills of minor Importance
were passed upon, and the report of
the committee appointed TO inVesti-
gate the advisiability of passing the
street railway franchise now pending
before the council, as received.
As is of cousre, very proper, the
board is acting very cautiously in the
matter of granting this franchise.
Hattiesburg wants a street railway,
but it is wanted, not five or ten years
hence, but right away, within the
next twelve months. Several OBJ
isctionable features are prese MED in
the franchise, which, however, were
eliminated by the city attorney and
it now remains only for the petition
ers to comply with the conditions i'm
posed for the franchise to be granted.
It is we'll known that all the Elec-
trio Light and Power Company Is
composed of members who have the
interest Of Hattiesburg at heart, but
as much trouble has been expressed by
other cities along this lire, and the
possibility of the railway changing
hands is so great risk that the board
has decided to place itself uncompro-
misingly on the safe side, and it is
greatly to be hoped that this will not
be stumbling block in the way of
the present applicants. as we want
it butt by home men and home CAPT
tai.
