Welded AT NOON
AT CALVARY'S ALTAR
Many Witness Marriage Of
MI. Stewart andMrS. Taylor

Although no formal invitations had
been issued Calvary Church was
thronged with the friends of Mr. Ma.
thanicl B. Stewart and Mrs. Lucy
Cobb Taylor at their wedding at noon
yesterday. The personal popularity
of the bride, whose devotion to the
welfare of the public institutions ot
the city has endeared her to all Amer
icus citizens, and the high esteem in
which the groom is held, was evi.
denced by the many who gathered
to witness them plight their troth
at the altar in the Episcopal church
Many ferns and palms were artis-
ideally arranged about the chancel
| for the occasion The coming OF
| the bride was hailed by the strains
of Mendelssohn, Mr.. Harry Williams
officiating at the organ. The bride
was accompanied by her father Capt
John A. Cobb, while the groom's best
man was his brother, Mr.. Walter
Stewart. The beautiful marriage
ritual of the Episcopal church was
impressively read by the Rector, Rev
J. &. Lawrence. After the ceremony
the immediate families OF the bride
and groom repaired to the brides
home, where a lunch was served prior
to their departure for North Georgia
lon the 2 O'Clock train. Among the
guests was Chancellor Barrow, of the
State University, uncle of the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart will return
to Americus in about a fortnight and
remain here until the latter part Of
November. when they leave for the
North en- route for their future home.
They will sail from New York on
December 2 for Naples, going thence
to Durham, Natal, where a home
awaits them, Mr. Stewart having
leased a residence in one of the most
desirable home sections Of that thirty
ing South African city and prepared
it for the coming of his bride. Their
daughter. little Miss Lucy Taylor, will
accompany them.
While the sincere and hearty well
wishes of the entire community will
go with them to their far away home,
it is with deep regret that the de-
parture of the bride is viewed by the
host of friends in Americus who have
known and loved her for years. Inde-
fatigable in her labors in behalf of the
city's higher welfare, she has been a
prominent factor in developing and
maintaining institutions that have told
for the public good. She will be great
ly missed by those who have learned
from experience that she could always
be relied upon for enthusiastic and un-
firing work along such lines. A wo-
man of charming social qualities as
we'll, there is no doubt that in her new
home she will speedily establish cir
cles of friends who will admire and
esteem her for the qualities that have
made her appreciated here. The Am
erican Consul has won an admirable
helpmeet in whatever fields his official
life may call him.
Connected, as the bride is, with
many of the most prominent Georgia
families, the wedding of yesterday was
of general interest in the state. In all
Of the larger cities she has family con-
nections of prominence The groom
has also many old-time friends
throughout Georgia. \ native of Tay-

as the exigencies 2f the service trans
fer him to some more important post
of duty. Devoted to his work, we'll

perience for it, there is every assur-
ance that the groom will rise to higher
posts in his profession.
