taken place in the social annals of Tio-
nesta in many months was the marriage
on Thursday evening last, of Miss George
Anna Watson, youngest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George F. Watson, to Mr.. Law
renee Armstrong Buzard, of Lamison,
Alabama. The scene of the splendid oc-
casion was the beautiful home of the
brides parents, which had been in the
hands of professional decorator and his
art was shown in the elegant and perfect
harmony of the profusion of graceful fes-
toons Of smilax, tropical palms, asparagus,
ferns and cut flowers. the predominating
colors being white and yellow roses and
white and pink carnations. Promptly at
the hour of seven o'clock the strains the
wedding march, by the TrOubadour or
chestra of Warren, announced that the
bridal procession had started from the
head OF the winding staircase which had
heen entwined with smilax leading to the
reception hall, thence through the living
room to the rear parlor, where, before a
huge bank of palms, the bridal party was
met by the officiating clergyman, Rev.
w. o. Calhoun. First came the groom
and his best man, Mr.. Fred V. Brown, of
Clarion, followed by the bridesmaid,
Miss Josephine Smearbaugh, gowned in
a pretty chiffon and carrying bouquet of
yellow roses; then the pretty bride lean
