! Well. little Cupid seems to be doing
his work well around Anthony this
year. His aim is straight and his ar
rows seem to be striking a good
many of our Anthony youths and
maidens.
Last Sunday evening when the gen
tie zephyrs were singing lullaby in
the boughs of the soughing pines and
everything and everybody seemed
happy, Mr.. Alfred Smith, of Oxford,
and Miss Ruth Odell Leitner, of this
place, were joined in the holy and
sacred bonds of matrimony, Rev.
Cunningham officiating. The groom's
best man was his brother, Mr.. Bert
Smith; the first bridesmaid was the
brides sister, Miss Sallie Leitner. The
next best man was Mr.. Hubert Percy,
of Oxford; the second bridesmaid was
the brides sister, Miss Matte Lett
ner.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in white organdie with lace trim
mings. Her attire was of the daintiest,
and never did she look prettier or
happier than she did as a bride.
The groom looked handsome in
suit Of black, and his happiness
seemed to have known no bounds.
Misses Matte and Sallie Leitner
looked beautiful in white organdie.
Mr.. Smith is a native Of Washing
ton, D. c., but has now makes his
home at Oxford, Fla. He is talented
musician and has a noble character
The bride was resident of Antho-

]. Leitner. She has a number of
friends here and all of them wish the
bride and groom long. happy, prosper
Gus and successful life.
The entire Leitner family were
present at the wedding.
Mrs. Oscar Burnett, of Daytona, and
Mrs. B. Spencer, of Ocala, sisters of
the bride, were present On this occa-
sion the parlor was artistically deco
rated in ivy and other beautiful ever
greens, and here and there were a
modest little flower to add to beauty's
charm.
After the ceremony and the con-
gratulations they retired to the din
ing room, where the daintiest of re-
freshments were served.
At last the writer will add her sim
cere wishes for their future happi-
ness anu may their joys be as deep
as the ocean and their sorrows as
light as it's foam, is the sincere WISH
of their friend, B. B.
Last Monday night quite a number
of the bride and grooms friends gave
them quite nice little serenade with
jingling instruments of all kinds. The
couple was so deafened by the noise |
that they could not collect their
thoughts enough to come out until the |
noise ceased, and quite a number |
soothed their shattered nerves by
singing that beautiful song, Juanita.
They then came in the dining room.
where lemonade and cake were
served, and many drank to the health |
and happiness of the bride and groom. !
