A CELEBRATION
 OF HISTORIC MOMENT

A tender and beautiful tribute was that accorded on Sunday afternoon by MT. and Mrs. J. M. Dill, Jr., to Col. and Mrs. Sumter Lea of East Lake, the pa- rents of Mrs. Dill.
 The occasion was the golden wedding of Colonel and Mrs. Lea, and loving friends and admirers of this popular cuple gathered to do homage and ex-> tend congratulations to Alabama's grand cid soldier and statesman. and his gentle and beautiful bride of many changing years.
 Colonel Lea is one of the most pie turesque and notable characters in the state today, uniting the courtly grace and dignity of the old-time southern gentle man with the zeal and energy that marks the new south. An eminent lawyer of profound learning, he still practices his profession and as arhorator he is in fre- quent demand.
 Mrs. Lea as the beautiful Isidore Hill, was the only daughter of an aristocratic and opulent planter and her marriage December II, 1860 was an event of interest throughout the south. The rich wedding gown of white satin is now carefully ard tenderly preserved in the department or archives and history in our state capitol, for when, in 1861, the gallant Lea marched to tho front as captain of g company of his townsmen in Marion.
