During the Present Week.
Lindsey-penniwell.

On Thursday evening Of last week at
half after six o'clock, at the home of
the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs. s. G..
Penniwell, occurred the wedding of their
only daughter, Miss Sara Katherine, to
Mr.. Will +. Lindsey, large number of
relatives and intimate friends assembl-
ing to witness the ceremony which
united two of Leon's most popular young
people.
At the appointed hour, while the
beautiful strains of Mendelsohn's we'd
ding march were softly play ed by Miss
Bell Thompson, the bridal party entered
the parlor. being proceeded by six
bridesmaids, Mesdames r. A. Sigler, M.
E. Wasson, Geo. L. jackson, f. A. Bow
man, Clark Morris and Miss Jessica
Pryor, who bore a rope of white ribbon
trimmed with trailing smilax, the bride
being accompanied by her father and
the groom by the officiating minister,
Rev. j. L. Boyd, pastor of the Leon Nj.
E. church. The contracting parties
took their places under a beautiful
conopy of trailing Madeira, the father
giving the bride away and in the short
but beautiful and impressive ceremony
of the M. E. church they were united
for life, and in this case it is for better
and not for worse.
The bride never looked more beauti-
full than she did in her wedding gown
of white Messaline silk, trimmed in
baby Irish lace. She carried magnifi-
cent boquet of brides roses, which at
the conclusion of the ceremony was
tossed high in the air and was captured
by Miss Elizabeth Springer.
Following the hearty congratulations
of the guests delicious wedding sup
per was served in the dining room the
table being festooned with Madeira and
the flowers were white carnations, the
guests being served by Misses Mae
Daugherty and Fern Pryor.
The bride is one of Icons choicest
young ladies. From little girl she has
grown up in our midst, honored by old
and young alike. She has ever been
bright star in the home circle and now
she has gone to reign as queen in her
own home.
The groom is also popular favorite
with every citizen of the community,
having grown up here and by his per-
sonal efforts has entered upon career
of usefulness, being editor and manager
of the Decatur County Journal. and is
looked upon as one of the enterprising
and progressive young businessmen OF
this city.
The love and esteem in which this
most worthy young couple is held was
shown by the numerous and beautiful
presents received by them. Another
home is made, new start in life is COM
menced under favorable conditions and
we bespeak for them much happiness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lindsey departed on the
evening train for a ten day honeymoon
trip to Chicago and other points in the
east, the brides going away costume be-
ing Of blue serge. after which they will
return and go to housekeeping in their
cozy new cottage just completed and
furnished on 11th street, where they
will be at home to their many friends
after Nov. 1st. They were accompanied
to the depot by number of their young
friends who saw to it that they did not
start away without the proverbial
shower of rice and old shoes.

Expensive Business.

It's rather expensive to lick a
preacher. ]. M. Hammond, of Thurman,
claimed that Rev. Joseph Stephen Of
that place owed him small debt, and
because the reverend gentleman declin-
ed to liquidate forthwith, Hammond
proceeded to use extreme measures in
forcing payment. Rev. Stephen seri-
ously objected to Hammond's modus
operandi and swore out warrant for
his arrest. Hammond plead guilty and
paid fine of $25 and costs amounting
to $12.-Tabor Beacon.

that because they are not gifted with
