 All of the breakers left the city, and all went back to Chicago. except one, who decided to go to New Orleans, and who before leaving said that he came to Selma under misapprehension and that if he ever got forgiveness for doing so he would not do it again.

 The men are all back at work in the shops and things are moving along as if nothing had happened.

NuptiaIs Were Brilliant.

NuptaIs Were Brilliant.
 With background of palms and ferns, from whose fronded receSseS peeped the twinkling gleams of lighted candles, was presented a beautiful scene Tuesday night at the First Presbyterian church, when the nuptials between Miss May Hooper and Dr. John Nelson Furniss were sol emnized. The large edifice was filled al- most to it's capacity with the friends of the contracting parties, admission being gained only by cards, and a more bril- liant nor more beautiful wedding has it been the pleasure of Selmans to behold.
 The wedding of these two young people unites two families with large connec- tions. But few there are in Selma who do not know Dr. J. P. Furniss, the father of the popular groom, or MT. and Mrs c. w. Hooper, parents of the charming bride. Their lives for the most part are entwined with the history of Selma and it was but fitting that upon the oc- casion in which the two houses were uni ted in the bonds of relationship that Sel- ma should send it's best representatives to be pleasurable witnesses of the event.
 As the deep-toned bell in the steeple of the church rang out the hour of { o'clock, the beautiful strains of Lohen. grin's famous wedding march, wrought from the organs depths by the delft fin gers of Mrs. John A. McKinnon an nounced the entrance of the wedding party. The church cards had been taken at the doors by Dr. S. G. Gay, w. S Monk, F. II. Coleman and Daniel Part. ridge, Jr. The ushers were R. l.. Hooper Dr. James Kenan, Daniel Mitchell. w. C. Crumpton of Evergreen, c. s. Partridge D. B. Haynes, Victor Picard and r. L. Davidson. The groomsmen were James W. Johnson, Dr. A. F. Toole of Birming. ham, B. R. Howard, Dr. N. P. Cooke ot Birmingham, Harry L. Hooper and Rob. ert H. Mangum. The bridesmaids were Misses Margaret Davidson, Mary Wins. low Partridge. Earle Johnson of .Corsi. cana, Tex. Jennie Jordan of Tallassee Kate Jones. Bettie Keith and Elsie Hoop CT. The matrons of honor were Mrs. J T. Mangum of Tallassee and Mrs. Cham. bliss Keith, sisters of the bride The maid of honor was Miss Maude Hooper The groom was attended by his brother Dr. Henry Dawson Furniss, of New York.
 The Rev A. A. Little, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony in an impressive manner, anC after the benediction MT and Mrs. Fur miss left the church to the strains oi Mendelssohn's wedding march
 The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, was most attrac. tive in a gown of white chiffon cloth trimmed in folds of peau de soie and duchess lace. Her veil was caught with orange blossoms while her bridal boquet was a shower of lilies of the valley The bridesmaids carried splendid specimens of yellow chrysanthemums while the ma irons and maid of honor carried white chrysanthemums.
 After the wedding a reception was ten dered the newly married couple at the home of the parents of the bride, the guests being the attendants at the we'd ding and kinspeople. At midnight Dr. and Mrs. Furniss begun their wedding trip, and will be at home after Noven- Der % at 549 Lauderdale street.
