The bride is just past thirty years

The ceremony took place in st. re
ter's Episcopal church and was per
formed by Rev. Philamon Sturges' the
rector.
Although Sylvia Green was married
IN her street dress, she has as nne
trousseau as any wealthy girl married
in this country ever packed into her
trunks for a wedding journey.
There are more gowns than Hety

own way a little, would have been Ut

The lingeries is largely of imported
material and ht for princess.
II can be stated on excellent au'
tboritv that IL was not until last sun
dav that Mrs. Green gave her consent
10 the marriage. although Mr.. Wilks
has been counting Sylvia Green for
some ten years. and the young woman
has been favorably disposed toward
him for the greater part of that time.
Mrs Green was opposed 10 the
match from the first. She objected II

have her daughter marry a younger
man Even though she has now given
her consent. friends of the family IN
derstand she is not wholly certain IN
mind that her capitulation was wise.
In fact Mrs. Green noted for hel
frankness. did not hesitate to tell Mr.
Wilks himself her reason for her hest
fancy
In heart-to-heart talk Mrs. Greer
had several days ago with her daugh
ter's sutton the old lady wound W
somewhat snappishly by saying:
Mr.. Wilks. ! think you're pretty
nice man. and I've no doubt you'll

Prosperity Ahead.
vile.

A. y. Allen, formerly of Union City
but now Of Memphis, makes some fore
casts in the Memphis News-Scimitar
regarding the real estate business in
Memphis as follows:
That every indication now points to a
very large increase in real estate activi-
ties during the year 1909, is the belief
expressed by A. Y. Allen, manager of
the Commonwealth Realty Company,
6S Madison avenue, who is an enthusi-
astic booster of Memphis.
THE very fact" said Mr.. Allen,
that so many large deals have been
made recently, that so many of those
successful business men and real estate
traders who have studied the situation
in Memphis for many years, have gone
to buying SO largely, the fact that some
have bought and in few days realized
large profits, all indicate that we have
just ahead of us the greatest develop
ments in the growth of Memphis and
in the substantial increase of values
that have ever been seen here.
YEARS OF PROMISE.
The next five years will almost GER
tainly bring greater things than the
phenomenal years of 1902 to 1907.
There never was a time when the Mem
phis banks held more money than they
now hold, nor time when the owners
of that money were more eager to in
vest it in safe property. Thousands of
people, who have been ready and anx-
ious to buy real estate in Memphis have
waited for the past two years for great
slump in prices. Now that the stabil-
ity of Memphis property has been
demonstrated by their failure to see the
slump, they are beginning to buy in
earnest, and that buying will not let up
for good many years.
when the large buyers are active
the smaller ones are stimulated, and
every one, even down to the smallest
lot buyer, begins to realize that it is
time to trade and take advantage of the
natural enhancement of values. y
