|DR. CRUMPTON
 TAKES A WIFE Quietly Weds Mrs. Flor
 ence Harris. MARRIAGE WAS A SURPRISE Dr.. Stakely Performed Ceremony at
 First Baptist Church. It Had Been Intended to Keep the Wedding . Secret, Hut Many
 Arrived in Time to He

A marriage in which all the people of Alabama will be interested. was quietly solemnized last night in the assembly room of the First Baptist Church, when pr. w. B. Crumpton and Mrs. Florence I. Harris were was performed by pr. Charles A. . Stakely. pastor of the First Baptist Church, and 1t was witnessed by a number of relatives and friends.
 It had been intended that the we'd ding should take place just before the regular prayer service, and that only the relatives of the prominent bride and groom were to be present, but somehow information. as to the ap- preaching wedding leaked out among the Baptists of Montgomery. An un- usual interest was therefore manifest ed in the regular prayer meeting for last night and what was more re- markable, all who attended. came un- usually early. At the appointed hour Dr. stakely arose and In his most im- pressive manner performed the mar riage. The bride and groom were sur rounded immediately by interested friends who gave them the heartiest and most sincere concentrations and best wishes for the future.
 Mrs. Harris was the widow of Rev.
 
 of the Baptist Church. and who died while he was filling the pastorate of the first Baptist Church of Montgom- cry fifteen years ago. He was only a few months in charge of the Mont gomery church. when he was called from his field of labor.
 After Dr. Harris death. Mrs. Harris continued to make her home In Mont gomery, where she became known as
 An CT. To all the endeavors of the sympathy and her encouragement. A special field for her work was the Young Woman's Christian Association of Montgomery. She has been asso- ciated with this organization since it's foundation and was president of 1t last year. She Is admired and be- loved by all who know her.
 Than Dr. Crumpton, there is no bet ter known minister of the Gospel in of years Secretary of the Baptist State Moard of Missions and his la- bors have been most fruitful The members of his church value his work in this capacity most highly.
 Dr. Crumpton Is president of the Alabama Anti-Saloon League and is perhaps the best known fighter for prohibition in the State. He has spent his life in Alabama and has preached in every section of the State and in every quarter of Alabama the news of his marriage will pc received with special interest.
 Col. W. c. Crumpton, son of Dr. Crumpton. came up from Evergreen to be present at the wedding. Dr. She'll brew. of East Lake, Dr. Crumptons n-in Jaw. came down to be with oth- CT relatives at the ceremony.
 Dr. and Mrs. Crumpton shortly af- ter the ceremony. left for New Or leans. where they win spend several days. On their return they VIII make their home in Montgomery.
