Mrs. Sarah Sheffield Entertains for
Mrs. John Richards.
A unique and delightful courtesy
was extended Mrs. John Richards, of
New York, last Tuesday afternoon,
when Mrs. Sarah Sheffield entertained
in honor Of the charming visitor at a.
family tea. The guests, fifteen I'M
number, were granddaughter and
great granddaughter of the late
Colonel T. C. Billups, whose promi-
hence in local affairs is matter of
history. Colonel Billups was one of
the early settlers Of Noxubee county,
afterwards moving to Lowndes coun-
ty, where record of his life and
achievements are interviewer with the
growth and development of Columbus.
A celebration of Colonel Billups' ar
rival in Mississippi, eighty-seven years
ago, gave Inspiration for the clever
entertainment. Gathered around a
drop-leaf rosewood table that was
transported in an emigrant train of
covered wagons through the savage
infested forests of Alabama when its
owner emigrated from Oglethorpe
county, Georgia, nearly a century ago,
the descendants of the distinguished
settler recounted historical incidents
! and personal recollection in which
the family had figured since that
eventful time. Many of the incidents
were interesting bits of local history.
At the close, much merriment was oc-
casioned in the efforts of the guests
to designate their. own photographs in
a collection Of Juvenile pictures treas
ured by the hostesF. Features Of the
entertainment were the decorations
which came from the old home site on
the highlands, and the table appoint
ments which were treasured heir
looms of china, silver and table linen.
The refreshments, too typified the
old-fashioned idea--tea, sandwiches
and fruit cake being served from
table with its antique appointments
lighted with tallow dip candles ir
crystal holders.

The ceremony uniting in marriage
Miss Lucille Eleanor Resler, of this
city and Mr.. Carbis Arthur Walker,
of Montgomery, Ala, was solemniz-
ed at high noon last Wednesday
morning at the Kennebew home on
the highlands. In honor Of the event,
. the Colonial Kennebrew home was fit
tingly embelished with floral decora-
tions, tulle and lighted tapcrs. The
guests were received in the hall and
front parlor while the improvised al
tar, before which the ceremony was
performed was arranged in the back
parlor. A white carpeted aisle, out
lined with graduating columns
wreathed in simlax and tulle and
supporting lighted tapers, led to the
stairs, marking the pathway of the
bride. Preceding the ceremony,
Miss Mary Lou Peyton sang "To
You" with Mrs. B. X. Sesums as ae-
Ecompanist. As the wedding march
announced the appointed time, Miss
Katherine Hudson and Mr.. Trooper
Armstrong proceeded down the light |
ed aisle and rolled back the folding
doors dividing the two parlors, re-
lvealing to the spectators the beauti-
full bridal tableau, the officiating
clergyman, Rev. +. l.. Malone, the |.
groom and his best man, Mr.. Robert |
McAdams, of Montgomery, the brides
maids, Misses Fannie Harrison and
Rosamond Buder, and the little ring
bearer, Master Billups Norton Blu
der, all awaiting the bride. When
Miss Hudson and Mr.. Armstrong had
taken their respective positions be-
fore the altar, the bride, leaning upon
the arm of her father, traversed the
