Dowdle-Phillipa.

A quiet and pretty wedding was
solemnized on Wednesday evening
October goth, at 8 o'clock, when
Miss Teresa Phillips became the bride
Of DR.. George Dowdle, of this city
The ceremony was performed at tn.
home of the bride in the Mt. Vernon
neighborhood, and was impressivel,
said by Rev. W. H. Newton, of tn,
Baptist church.
Little Miss Erline Griffin, the at.
tractive little neice of the groom
came in and lighted the candles al
the altar, while Little Miss Evelyn
Heard, and Master Leighton Phillips,
relatives of the bride, daintily attired
in white frocks, distributed flowers
in the path of the bride and groom.
The bride is charming and cul-
tured young lady, being the daughter
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Phil
lips, and has countless friends who
congratulate the groom upon his
good fortune. DR.. Dowdle, who is a
recent graduate of the dental de-
partment of the Vanderbilt Univer-
sity, is now practicing in this city,
and his genial and courteous manners
are making him many friends.

Negro Attempts Holdup.

John Guyton, well known negro
in police circles, drew a pistol on Mr..
W. D. Davis and a party Of ladies
as they were crossing the county
bridge at the foot of Main street.
shortly after dark Sunday evening
in an automobile. Mr.. Davis paid
little attention to the negro and hur-
riedly drove his car down the road.
Upon reaching the home of Mr.. A..
d. Spiers, who lives a short dis
tance west of the river, Mr.. Davis
telephoned local police, and Officers
Morton, Cook and Cummings at once
went to the scene. After a few mo-
ments time the police overlook Guy
ton about one-half mile west of the
river. He was arrested and later
identified by Mr.. Davis as the man
who attempted the hold-up.
Guyton was brought before Mayor
Gunter Monday and was fined 500
and sixty days for exhibiting dead
ly weapon, and $25 and thirty days
for carrying concealed weapons. He
was later released on bond to await
the action of the grand jury.
