♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦
Yoa can’t stop folks from talking,
No matter how you try;
Sone folks will talk, and talk and
talk,
And talk until they die.
Say something good about someone,
And it will never leak out.
But just say something evil
And how soon it spreads about
Somebody said, somebody said,
Somebody told me so—
And that somebody heard it from some
body.
Who really ought to know;
It’s the things folks say,
And not the things they do —
That cause all, the trouble
Just believe me true,
For there’s always somebody who
knows somebody,
Who knows your business better
than you.

Dudley Fort, whose wedding to Mr. C.
S. Colley will be a pretty event Thurs
day evening. With spirits high, the
rccasion auspicious and all the beau
tiful raiment possible, no grander
event could have been held. The poig
nant drives of humor; the curious ar
ticles of fun-making and fuss-making
--everything was there. At a late

Miss Easterlin And Mr. E. J.
Eldridge Prettily Wedded
One of the most beautiful weddings of
the season was solemnized last night at
the First Baptist church when Dr.
Lansing Burrows united Miss Lillie
Mae Easterlin and Erwin James Eld
ridge in marriage.
The bride, the beautiful and accom
plished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F.
lin, of Andersonville, was never more,
resplendent than in her wedding gown
of white cut velvet, combined with
white ivory satin. A court train of
silver cloth dropped from the should
ers.
Orange blossoms were draped most
effectively over the veil, which hung in
graceful folds from the coronet fasten
ings in the hair. The bridal bouquet
of orchids and valley lilies added beau
ty to the complete toilet of the youth
ful bride.
Mr. Erwin James Eldridge is one of
Americus’ most influential young busi
ness men, and comes from a prominent
and most aristocratic old family. This
marriage unites two of the most prom
inent families in Georgia.
Mrs. James Harris, jr., sang sweetly
“At Dawning,” at the conclusion. Mrs.
H. O. Jones softly played Mendels
sohn’s wedding march while the ush
ers, Mr. Walter Page, Mr. McCord Pra
ther, Mr. Walter Brown and Mr.
Charles Burke, preceded the party to
the beautifully decorated chancel.
A profusion of Southern smilax,
ferns and Latannia palms marked a
magnificent setting for the happy oc
casion. The altar, with its simple dec
decorations of Easter lilies, ferns and
smilax completed the pretty arrange
ment.
The ushers were followed by the
.bridesmaids and groomsmen, Miss
Catherine Davenport, Miss Elizabeth
Eldridge, Miss Flora Denham, Miss
Clem Buchanon, Mis s Lucile Easter
lin, Miss Kathleen Denham, Miss
Maude Sherlock, Mr. Emory Rylander,
Mr. Frank Stapleton, Mr. Furlow Gate
wood, Mr. Fred Sills, Mr. John Hodges,
Mr. J. R. Williams, Jr., Mr. Harris
Council.
Piquant style and girlish becoming
ness was fashioned in every detail of
the charming frocks worn by* the
(bridesmaids. The fluffy pink tulle
tunics over silver cloth, with handsome
trimmings of silver lace; and dainty
silver slippers completed the effective
and charming costumes. Each maid
carried a handsome silved filagree bas
ket filled with pink rosebuds; the ex
quisite gifts of the bride.
As the maids met the groomsmen at
the altar, which gave a most wonder
ful effect. They were grouped most
beautifully in the chancel. tX
The little flower girls, petite Miss
Mary Elizabeth and Frances Easterlin,
attired in exquisite little dresses of
white tulle and carrying baskets of
pink rosebuds, added more beauty to
the occasion.
The maid of honor, Miss Thelma
Easterlin, the sister of the bride, next
