Speaking of the MacKinnon- Davis
wedding the other day, someone said
they had never known so many out
of-town people to be present on an
occasion like this. There were the
Charles Chipmans from New York,
the w. B. Davises from Chattanooga,
mother and father of the bridegroom;
the w. r. Watermans from Philadal-
phia, the H B. Robes from New York,
besides a number of young men--John
Allen Gentry, Edward Whitesides and
Henry Grady, who came from Chat
tanooga, and George Lamar, OF Au-
gusta. There were others, too, who
came from far and near. 1t is a pity
to have to give up such an attractive
little personality as Miss MacKinnol,
but Chattanooga Is not so far off that
she can't come down occasionally for
a visit to us. Then we will have par
ties for her and wear her out with
being nice to her. Sne hasn't lived
here very long, but we have begun to
look upon her as one of us.
