w. Turner, OF 1O7 Waddell street,
Athens, Ga, was united in marriage to
DIR. Clifton Mckinney Walker, a promi-
nent physician of this place, at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. Among the October
weddings none surpassed this one for
beauty and splendor. Yesterday was an
down upon the classic city all nature
seemed to be In anison with the sweet,
pure life of the bride. The Presbyterian
church, in which the ceremony took
place, was beautifully and elaborately
decorated with bamboo smilax and cut
plants. The color scheme, white and
green. was carried oat to perfection and
the church darkened and lighted, by
artificial means, hundreds of brilliant
candles being used. Ushers: DIR. II. M.
Meriwether and Paul w. Matheson, of
Westminster; B. Clifford Turner and
Joseph w. Turner, of Athens. The only

order:

OF her father, w. w. Turner. The we'd
ding party thus formed semi-circle
around the chancel and stood, facing the
pastor, DIR. julius w. Walden, who made
DR.: Walker and Miss Turner, man and
wife, using the simple ceremony of the
Presbyterian church. While the cere-
mony was being performed soft, sweet
music, appropriate to the occasion, was
rendered by the organist. The party
took their departure from the church as
Mendelsshon's march was played. Miss
Turner was handsomely attired in dark
blue broadoloth suit, the coat having an

the goods elaborately stitched. The

design of applique. Her hat cores
ponded with the suit. She carried

tuile. Miss Hodgson, maid of honor,
wore tan tailor gown trimmed with a
great deal of hand work and real lace

were pink carnations. The church was

In giving an account of L.. III. V. Hob
sons accident last week it was our pur-
pose to state the facts as to how the ac-
cident occurred and the result without
the slightest intention of reflection or
an injustice to any one. The pen driver
had not had an opportunity of inter-
viewing other Mr. Hobson or Queen 81
Prather, the contractors, and the word
unsafe in the last sentence was writ
ten from our own conclusions, based
upon the way we had heard tho scaffold
had been constructed, and from the fact
that it did collapse, and knowing that
Mr.; Hobsop to always act with prudence
and forethought, yet brave enough to
face danger when necessary. Mr. Pra-
ther informs us the scaffold had been
erected differently from what we heard
and that Mr.. Hobson knocked loose more
braces than he intended for him to and
that was the cause of the fall. In build
ing scaffolds Messrs. Queen e. Prather
use every precaution to make them good
and avoid placing the lives of their en-
ployees in jeopardy. They are very
sorry indeed that such valuable work
man as Mr.. Hobson got hurt. We trust
the contractors have now had fair
showing equally with Mr.. Hobson.
We regret to chronicle the death of
Mrs. Sarah r. Cheswell, the mother of
Capt w. e. Cheswell, which occurred at
the residence of her son, on Main street,
Monday night, shortly after the clock had
tolled the midnight hour. She was IA
years old and was native New Market,
New Hampshire. For the pastsix months
she had been making her home in West
minister with her son. During her ill
ness of nine weeks duration her physi-
clan and the loving members of the
family did all in their power to stay the
progress of disease. Mrs. Chesweli was
a member of the Baptist church and in
her sickness showed resignation to the
will of her Master. She had visited the
South on several occasions and by her
kind dispositisn had won the esteem of
all with whom she came in contact. She
is is survived by only one child, Capt. w:
Il. Cheswell, President of the Cheswell
Cotton Mill Company, of Westminster
After funeral services, conducted from
the residence, her body was carried to
the new cemetery Tuesday afternoon for
interment. The services were held at
$50 and conducted by Rev. John r.
Moore, pastor of the Baptist church.
Capt. and Mrs. Cheswell have the heart
felt sympathy of host of friends in
their hour of sorrow.
