DEATH FOLLOWS LONG ILLNESS
MIR. John r. Shaw Died Tuesday in
Atlanta.

Mr.. John r. Shaw passed away at 6
o'clock Tuesday morning in Atlanta,
the end coming after long period of
illness. The announcement of the
death of Mr.. Shaw was conveyed inn
mediateIy to relatives in Americas,
where he formerly resided.
And it is needless to say that it caus-
ed keenest sorrow here.
Relatives and friends, while aware of
his critical illness for several weeks,
were bueyed by recent reports from his
bedside and began to hope that he
might recover.
Though resident of Atlanta for sew
eral years past, where he was actively
engaged in business, his long residence
in Americas and his complete identi-
fcation with the city and it's institu-
tons endeared him to hundreds of
friends here.
After his service, almost as boy, in
the Confederate army he returned to
his home in Cuthbert, and later remov-
ed to Americas where he spent many of
the best years of his life engaged in
business.
And his high sense of honor, his
sterling integrity and moral worth
soon made for him record in the bust
ness and social world second to that of
none other.
Mr.. Shaw was twice married, and is
survived by his last wife, who was
Miss Kate Fielder of Americas. In their
beautiful home at College Park, near
Atlanta, their life was ever ideally
happy, with naught to mar the sun
shine of their existence.
His aged mother and two sisters,
Mrs. CroweIl and Mrs. Wisham, form
erly of this city, survive him.
The arrangements for the funeral, not
entirely completed at this hour, in
cludes services IN Atlanta today. The
remains will be brought to Americas,
the final obsequies taking place here
Thursday afternoon from First Baptist
church.
The funeral notice, complete, will be
published tomorrow morning.

A BOWER OF SMILAX
ROSES AND GREEN
Combined in Pretty Wedding
Scene
occ asloN is a BEAUTIFUL ONE
Marriage of Miss Fannie StallInss
and Mr.. Walker Lane SoIemnlxed
Tuesday Night at Handsome Stsl.
Iings Home in AmoEicus.

:. Scarcely has social Americas witness
ed prettier event, than the marriage
last evening of NJ ISIS Fannie Stallings
to Mr.. Walker G. Lane of Valdosta at
the beautiful home of the brides parents
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Stallings on Church
street.
Artistic skill had transformed this
pretty home into bower of beauty.
Quantities of smilax had been most
effectively used in festooning the win
dows, doors, and chandeliers. In the
front parlor, where the ceremony was
most impressiyelY solenmized by Rev.
o. p. Gilbert, the color scheme was all
in white and green.
The cabinets and mantel3 were
banked In fragrant freesias and maiden
hair ferns.
.2TO the strains of Mendelsohn's we'd
ding march, skillfuIly rendered by Miss
Margaret Buchanan, the bridal party
decended the stair and entered the front
parlOr.
First came Miss Callie Methvin of
Cordele with Mr.. J. e. Thigpen of
Newman; then the bride with her maid
of honor, Miss Clyde Methvin, of
Eufaula, lastly the groom entered with
his best man, Mr.. Homer Daniel, and
standing before an altar of stately
palms and graceful ferns, they plighted
their vows.
The bride was a picture of girltsh
loneliness in soft white silk, muchly
trimmed in lace, and carrying an arm
full of white brides roses.
The. bridesmaids dresses were beau
tiful creations of white net, and they
carried pink carnations.
The decorations in the dining room
were all in pink and green. The brides
table had as centerpiece, a handsome
cut glass vase, filled with pink carna-
lions. Garlands of asparagus ferns and
pink carnations were entwined about
the chandeliers, terminating at the
corners of the table with enormous
butterfly bows of pink tulle.
Seated around this table besides the
bride and groom were Misses Clyde and
Callie Methvin and Margaret Buchanan,
Messrs Bert Wagnon, j. E. Thigpen
and Homer Daniel.
Punch was served from a prettily
decorated corner in the hall by Misses
Callie Bell, aud Mamie McLlendon.
Assisting in serving the dainty lunch
con were Misses Kate Page, Ruth
Arlington, Antoinette Lockette, and
Irma Martin. The display of bridal
gifts was one of the handsomest ever
seen in Americus.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker c. Lane left at
10:40 O'Clock for visit to relatives in
Macon, before going to Valdosta, their
future home.
