Kannon-WiIkes.
Tuesday evening at 4:3O o'clock
occurred one of the most interesting
marriages ever witnessed in Culleoka,
that of Allen Brown Ramon and Miss
Sudie Kinnard Wilkes. The church
was decorated with flowing ferns, trail
ing vines and potted plants, placed In
pleasing positions, by tasty hands.
The ushers were Clement Wade
Wilkes and Burke Ramon, Webster
Turner and Lafayette Tbmlinson, the
bridal chorus, Misses Matte Bond,
Jane Love and Annie Claiborne Wilkes,
sisters of the bride and Misses Mildred,
! Elizabeth and Charlotte Ramon, sis
] tiers of the groom.
Little white gates, swinging across
the aisles, reserved several seats for
the relatives.
The musical programme as prelude
to the ceremony proper, consisted first
of an instrumental selection on the
piano by Miss Cornelia Alternately,
rendered in finished manner. The Sec
ond number, "All For YOU" was sung
by Miss Brownie Tomlinson, in rich
soprano voice, who also sang II Love
You" "Then Believe Me if All Those
Endeaing Charms" and 81 Love You, -
came in soft sweet strains from the
violin, which seemed to give voice to
the sentiments of the songs as rem
dered by Miss Matte Bond Wilkes.
Then the bridal chorus was sung by
Mrs. John l.. Wilkes and Miss Brownie
Tomlinson as leaders, meeting at the
gates the bridal procession, which
we're opened by the pages, Masters

listers were costumed in lingerie frocks
of colonial style, carrying baskets of
flowers Of the season.

gown of white, with touches OF blue.
with hat to match and carried show
er bouquet Of lilies, harmonizing with
all colors Of the season, making a
most beautiful bride.
Rev. F l.. Moody, In his usual
felicitous style, pronounced the cere-
mony mainly after the manner OF the
Methodist Ritual" then most i'm
perssive style, though several times
adorned with most appropriate poeti
cal quotations, a ceremony carrying
solemn VOWS, which made the couple
not merely husband and wife as long
as both do live In the common way
but pledged them to all the tender at
tentions of sweethearts" before mar
riage.a
The ring taken from the heart OF
the lily, held by Master Webster Tur-
her, when placed on the finger OF the
bridegroom, gave promise Of an end
less love through life.
Mrs. Ramon Is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Lafayette Wilkes,
OF CulleoKa, a member Of one of the
Oldest and most prominent families Of
the county. She has long been one Of
