 SETS NEW RECORD
 AS NOTABLE EVENT
(Continucd from Page one)

Der interests, would have been suf- ficient to have given it wide notice.
 handsome church was built es pecially for the occasion and double row of electric lights around the drive to the church, on the sides ta- bles large enough to seat q thousand guests at time, scores of walters. attentive to the slightest wants of those seated, with the music and the twinkling lights and sparkling jewels in the gowns of the women made one feel as if he was taking part in an Arabian Nights entertainment
 Never was such hospitality extend ed on such a royal scale in Alabama. To get an idea of 1t one has to hark back to the great feasts of the kings of old in the days when troubadours, knights and princesses ate and danc- ed and sang and prodigality was the order of the day. It was like pic ture torn out of the book of France when gallantry ruled the hour.
 A glance at the great pits where the barbecued mears were being made ready under the supervision of Frank J. Kerby and James Mcconnell brought up memory pictures from the story of England when the great lords made merry over the carcases of lambs, kids, pigs and cattle. To furnish the meats for the wedding feast at Bellamy 10 kids, 10 hogs and a dozer. cattle were slaughtered, for Sumter and Greene county citizens had been bidden one and all to come and enjoy the festivities.
 And they came for miles around until the streets of Bellamy were as damned with automobiles as the T af , xl,,. d there would have been endless con- fusion had not Bill Eatman, the mas ter of transportation. and his assist ants been on the job to handle the traffic and see to the parking. It also fell to his lot to get the we'd ding party of 40 to Meridian, some 50 miles away, after the dance to catch the southbound M. and O. for Coden. where there waited the bride and groom one of the ioveliest homes in the pleasant gulf resort. the gift of Mir and Mrs. Allison.

 Everything about the wedding was impressive, and there were some things which, to say the least, were unique, for who ever heard before of great factory whistles taking the place of wedding bells?
