November 8th to 12th, 1QI.V
If it were in our territory and

lar People at Macon.
Macon, Nov. 15. A very pretty
wedding took place Wednesday
evening, November 1 2th at eight
o'clock in Macon M. IZ. church,
when Miss Mary Louise Rodwell,
the attractive daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. L Rodwell, became the
bride of Mr. Thomas Holt Rowan,
of Hamlet, N. C. The church was
attractively decorated in palms,
ferns and cut flowers. The cere
mony was performed under an
arch entwined with smilax and
lighted with candles. From the
center of the arch was suspended
a large wedding bell. "The Hour
That Gave Me You" was most
beautifully rendered by Miss Alice
Briton Rodwell, sister of the bride.
To the strains of Lohengrin's wed
ding march, played by Miss Pene
lope White, cousin of the bride, of
Portsmouth, Va., the bridal party
entered the church. The ushers
were W. L and J. B. Rodwell,
brothers of the bride, and J. P.
O'Brien and M. W. Nicholson.
Misses Garnette Crocker, Lettie
Rowan, sister of the groom, Sarah
Myrick and F.llie Nicholson, were
the bridesmaids, aitired in pink
crepe de chine and carrying white
roses. Miss Joyce Coleman, cous
in of the bride, acted as maid of
honor and wore pink charmeuse
with an overdress of lace, and car
ried pink roses. The matron of
honor was Mrs. F. M. Drake, of
Weldon, sister of the bride. She
wore a regular gown of pink crepe
meteor en train and carried pink
roses. Little Miss Elizabeth Rod
well, sister of the bride, dressed
in a hand embroidered mull, with
broad pink, sash, carrying a basket
of pink roses, preceded ihe bride
as flower girl. Master Caswell
Drake, nephew of the bride, car
ried the ring in a white rose.
The bride's gown was fashioned
of white charmeuse, with real lace
and pearl trimmings. Her long
veil of illusion, falling from a Juliet
cap, was caught wilh orange blos
soms. She eniered on ihe arm of
her father, and was met at the al
tar by the groom and his best man,
H. M. Rowan, of Florence, S. C.
The ceremony was impressively
performed by Rev. J. C. Rowan,
of Camden, S. C, assisted by Rev.
D. N. Caviness, of Warrenion,
N. C.
Immediately following the cere
mony a reception was given at the
home of the bride tc the bridal
party and intimate friends of the
family. The guests were received

Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Rowan, Mr.
and Mrs. F. M. Drake, Mr. and
Mrs. A. L. Nicholson, and Mr.

gatedTestimony ot Weldon
Citizens.
When a Weldon citizen comes
to the from, idling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you
can rely on his sincerity. The
statements of people residing in
far away place, do not command
your confidence. Home endorse
ment is the kind thai backs Doau's
Kidney Pills. Such testimony is
convincing. Below is a siatement
of a Weldon resident. No strong
er proof of merit can be had.
J. T. D. Rawlings, Second St.,
Weldon, N. C, says:
"You are welcome to use my
name as a reference for the merit
of Doan's Kidney Pills, as I have
tested this remedy and found that
it is reliable. I had backache and
pains through my kidneys and was
bothered by irregular passages of
the kidney secretions. I finally
got Doan's Kidney Pills at Cohen's
Drug Store and it was not long be
fore they gave me relief."
