THIS WEDDING is QUITE
A PRETTY ONE INDEED
A Quiet and Impressive
Occasion
WITNESSED by THE FAMILY ONLY
Mrs. Nell BIasingame and DR.. j. A.
Thomas of Macon are Joined in
Marriage at Home of the
Bride Here.

Mrs. Nell NJ. Blasingame and Rev.
j. A. Thomas were united in marriage
last evening at the residence of the
brides mother, Mrs. E. P. Morgan, on
College street, Rev. DR.. j. P. Wardlaw

vows of the handsome couple.
The marriage was witnessed only by
relatives and members of the family
and was, withal, very pretty and i'm
pressive occasion.
Invitations had previously been sent
but the illness of neice of the bride
rendered change of program neces-
sary and all invitations, therefore, had
recently been recalled.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed in the handsomely decorated
double parlors.
The bride wore most becoming tan
silk jacket suit, trim med in dark brown
silk and gold lace, with hat and gloves
to match. She carried a bouquet of
pink carnations, and in her wedding
costume was the typical pretty June
bride.
Miss Margaret Buchanan sang sweet
ly Forget Me Not'' and as the mar
riage ceremony proceeded Prof. E. H.
Mcneil, presiding at the organ played
softly an accompaniment to Miss
Florence Niles, who rendered an ex-
quisite violin selection.
There were no attendants, the bride
and groom standing alone while DR..
Wardlaw spoke the words which united
them in the bonds of wedlock.
After congratulations had been ex-
tended tempting course of ices was
served, and at 1890 O'Clock, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas left for Macon, their
home. He is past or of the V1nevIlle
Methodist church, and one of the most
beloved young ministers in the Con-
ference.
Many very beautiful wedding gifts
were received, including superb chest
OF silver, the gift of the board of stew
ards of the Vineville NJ ethodist church.

DRUGGISTS IN LIVELY ENCOUNTER
DIR. Davenport and Or. DOdsOn Thus
CIaShed.

A personal difficulty yesterday
morning between DR.. D. F.. Davenport
and DR.. j. G. Dodson occurred at the
Cranberry building, soon to be occu-
pied by the Dodson Pharmacy. The
old building was, until recently, occu-
pied by the Davenport Co. and the
difficulty, it is understood, grew out of
the proposed removal of certain pipes
and fixtures. DR.. Davenport,i it is said,
struck DR.. Dodson with piece of iron
piping. One blow upon the head
knocked DR.. Dodson to the ground,
blood flowing profusely from the
wound. He was in dazed condition
when Mr.. Rylander and others came to
his assistance and carried him to the
store of the Rylander Shoe Co. where
his wounds were dressed. The affair
is deeply regretted by friends of both
participants.
