Garnett-Smith
In a quiet wedding at the Baptist
church at $3.50 Sunday afternoon, Miss
Rebecca Smith became the bride of
Mr.. William Rhea Garnett. Rev. VIM.
iii. Wrighton officiated and the ring
service was used. Only immediate
RELATIVES and very few friends were
present.
The bride looked very charming in
a blue suit with accessories to match.
Immediately after the ceremony, the
young couple left for Jacksonville,
from where they will go to Miami for
a two weeks wedding trip.
The bride is young lady born and
raised in our city, and a favorite
with numberless friends, to whom
she has endeared herself by an un-
varying disposition of cheerful kind
ness and helpfulness. Mr.. Garrett is
an excellent young man, conductor
on the Seaboard, we'll liked by all his
friends and trusted by his employer,
who now is Uncle Sam. His run is
from Inverness to Waldo, and in the
former pretty town he and his bride
will for the present make their home.

Mrs. Alice Yonce, w. M.
The following is an interesting ex-
tract from the London Mail: An av-
erage of two weddings week takes
place among blind soldiers at st. Dun
stan. More than 200 have been mar
ried. Not only do girls keep their
vows to wed, made before the men
were blinded in combat, but in many
cases girls who have refused propos-
ais of marriage before the war, now
insist on being married to the blinded
heroes. Sometimes men marry girls
they have never seen. At st. Dun
STAINS the blinded soldiers are trained
to be self-supporting and these men
are able to support their wives. A
silver teapot is the gift to every blind
soldier married from the institution
and wedding breakfast is given.
Mrs. T. II. Wallis left last night for
New York city, to spend three weeks

Myers, has arrived home to keep
house for her brother and sister dur
ing their mothers absence. Miss
Wallis will not return to LaBelle un-
til afteh the holidays.
4 Corporal WEIGH Dewey, who has
been with his motor supply train at
Camp Mills for the past month, ex-
pecting to go overseas, was transfer
red on Thanksgiving, with $500 men
