Suddath—Miller
   Maysville, Ga.—An interesting wedding of next week will be that of Miss Ethel Lane Suddath and Mr. Thomas Kimsey Miller of Maysville which will take place at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Boon Suddath, on Homer street, Monday, January 28, at 8 p.m.
   The wedding will be a quiet one, only the immediate families of the two young people and a few close friends being invited, and the ceremony will be followed by a small reception.
   The bride is one of Maysville’s loveliest young ladies and numbers her friends by her acquaintances. The groom is the son of Mr. Alfred Miller, one of our wealthiest farmers, and a young man of sterling qualities and business ability.
   After a ten days trip to Florida, Mr. and Mrs. Miller will be at home to their many friends on North Broad street.

Smith-Bacon
   The most brilliant social event of the season here was the marriage Wednesday evening of Miss Grace Smith, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brantly Smith, and J. Warren Bacon, one of Maysville’s popular young merchants and son of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Bacon, which took place at the Methodist church. 
   The ceremony was beautifully and impressively performed by Rev. H. F. Hoyt, of the Presbyterian church.  The decorations were beautiful, carrying out in full the colors of white and green. 
   Before the ceremony the song, “O Promise Me,” was sweetly rendered by Mrs. Henry Meaders. 
   The bridal party entered the church to the strains of Mendelsohn’s March, rendered by Mrs. Iverson Perryman.  First came the ribbon bearers: Misses Kate Alexander and Tallie Parks, followed by the ushers, Messrs. F. H. Boyd, C. L. Carr and M. H. Henderson.  The bridesmaids and groomsmen entered singly down opposite aisles in the following order: Miss Emmie Moore, Mr. Ed Williams; Miss Ina Bacon, Mr. Guy Boyd; Miss Blats Garrison, Mr. Jno. Parks; Miss Kate Carr and Mr. Paul McCalla. 
   Reaching the altar, the attendants grouped themselves around the chancel in the figure of a triangle awaiting the bride who entered with her maid of honor, Miss Pearl Cox, preceded by the flower girls, Mary Lou White, Estelle Henderson, Sarah Eberhart and Harriet Reynolds, and was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Guy Comer.  The maid of honor, Miss Cox, was beautiful in white silk over green, carrying white carnations.  The bride was never more attractive than in her wedding dress of white radium silk made princess, elaborately trimmed in lace, the tulle veil being caught with orange blossoms and lilies of the valley.  She carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and bridal roses. 
   After the ceremony the bridal party, many friends and relatives assembled at the beautiful suburban home of the bride’s parents and were received by Misses Rhinehart, Carr and Henderson.  The color scheme prevailed throughout.  Punch was served on the large porch, and later the guests were invited to the beautifully decorated dining room, where an elegant dinner was served.  Many valuable and handsome presents were received.
   In honor of the bride and groom, a reception will be given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Bacon on Thursday evening.
