ORANGE FLOWERS - United in marriage at the Methodist Church, Sunday night May 24th, Mr. W. J. (William Joshua) Dyer (36) and Miss Georgia V. Springfield (15), Rev. J. W. Sims officiating. The attending couple was Mr. Wm. H. Sharber and Miss Josie Pate. In expectation of the event Church services, the house was filled to overflowing. They were the recipients of many gifts, both hand-some and useful from friends. It is our earnest wish that life's pathway be strewn with choicest flowers for them.
