a rousing manner. Previously, com-

date O. B. Colquitt had accepted an
invitation to speak and two of our
candidates for Congress were well
loaded as well as others. The day
propicious. The man with water
melons for sale"was in evidence.
Seventeen business houses in Rock-
dale closed to celebrate the 4th and
many of the Rockdale people came
over. Temple was well represented,
as well as Rosebud, and the crowd
was swelled to some 3,000 people
from all parts of Milam county, out-
side places contributing. It was truly
a day of good cheer. The small boy i
with the tirecraker did not create
much vof a ripple as July 4th cele-
brations are not such common cele-
brations but promise to be.
The Temple band furnished ex-
cellent Music for the occassion. The
band furnished music at the court
house square until the procession was
formed to march to Germania Park.
Supt. J. W. Sims delivered the
forenoon address in his usual logical
style. Afternoon the Hon. O. B.
Colquit began speaking at 1.15 and
was allowed ample time. He receiv-
ed a careful hearing and was frequent-
ly applauded.
Judge Hardy very forcefully pre-
sented his claims for congressman.
Hon. T. S. Henderson next spoke
and warmed up Judge Hardy in such
j a manner as to cause him rise to a
i point of explanation several times in
! which the explanation was worse
than the medicine.
Next came the District attorneys
I
then the announcements of the coun-
ty officers.
The Ball at night was a popular
event and continued until after 1:30.

One of Mayfield'u Brightest and
Prettiest Young Ladies Mar-
ries a Young Druggist of
Dallas.
It has been truly said that our
lives are measured by inoidents,
rather than by years, and many
are they who will date the open-
ing of their summer by the
pretty wedding at the Presby-
terian church last Wednesday
evening, when Miss Carrie Wil-
liams was married at nine
o'olock to Mr. George Poets of
Dallas.
Miss Carrie is the daughter of
the late T. H. Williams, of May-
field—one of the pillars of the
church in which the marriage
took place, ancl a man of noble
christian character whom wo
never forget. This, together
with Miss Carrie's own
sweet attractiveness in person
and character, and popularity,
made the event one of much
intorest.
Long before the appointed
hour the church was well filled.
The bridal party being delayed
by the recent rains and muddy
roads gave ample time to enjoy
the pretty decorations. The
pulpit was banked high with
palms and ferns with a large
bowl of water lillies in the cen-
ter, The pulpit arch and win-
dows were also covered with
green. The pulpit and isles car-
peting in snowy white a railing
with double gates were made for
the occasion, while suspended
were the double hearts of white
clamatis, under which the bride
and groom were to stand.
Mrs, Bacon presided at the
organ and at the first notes of
the grand old Mendelsohn's wed-
ding march all eyes turned,
First came the ushers, Messrs
David Smith, Jr., and Clarenae
Freeman, next the two little
flower girls looking like fairies
in their fluffy white silk dresses
and pretty golden hair, little
Misses Emma Atkinson and Vir-
ginia MoKinney. They carried
baskets of ferns and white rose
buds. They untied the ribbons
and opened wide the gates for
the bridal party to enter. Fol-
lowing these came Miss Lillian
Atkinson down one aisle and
Mr. Edgar Newton down the
other, orossing and taking their
plaoes. Then the sweet bride
leaning on the arm of her sister,
Miss Julia, while opposite oame
the groom with Mr. John Atkin-
son. The bride and groom met
at the gates and entered togeth-
er and were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony, the cere-
mony being oonducted in an im-
pressive manner by Rev, W. A
Gillon.
Miss Carrie never looked love •
lier than on this her 'weddine
night, gowned in a handsome
suit of white eolian over white
silk, trimmed with baby Iriah
point, her hair dressed high,
and from which, caught with a
bunch of orange blossoms^
gracefully hung her veil. The
two lovely maids, Misses Wil-
liams and Atkinson, were
gowned in beautiful suits, the
one in pink and the other in
blue orepe de chene over silk,
with lace trimmings. As they
oame slowly down we were not
surprised to hear a whisper:
"There is our next bride." As
there were two, who can tell us
whioh one?''
The groom, Mr. George Peets,
Jr., is a prominent young phar-
macist of Dallas—a young man
of genuine merit and sterling
qualities.
The oer.mony over, the brid-
al party drove back to the
grand old Williams homeetead.
An invitation to this home is an
honor hailel with delight, for
here the staid, stiff reserve
which is often filled with those
convenient little counterfeits
whioh pass current in the fash-
ionable world is disdained and
ignored, while the genuine ooin
of true hospitality immediately
puts every one at eaae.
Congratulations over and
many handsome presents duly
admired, the doors of the spa-
cious dining room were thrown
open and a delicious three course
luncheon was served by the
sweet, gracious sisters. It was
long past midnight when good
nights were said, all wishing the
happy oouple all joy and pros-
perity. A Friend.
