AND MRS LILES ---------------------------- Last Thursday evening one of the happiest social events in many months was witnessed at the attractive home of Dr. and Mrs. John P. LILES. It was the occasion of the Silver Wedding of this admirable couple. Twenty-five years ago John P. LILES [20 Aug 1865--4 Apr 1928] and Miss Mary Emily WOODALL [17 Jul 1869--27 Sep 1937] were united in marriage at Milltown [Chambers co., AL]. That time has [dealt] gently with them, no one can doubt who knows them now. Theirs is one of the happiest homes in the land, and is blessed by five dutiful children. Upon this occasion the home was bright with Japanese and electric lights and made doubly attractive with ferns and flowers. At one end of the veranda guests were served to fruit punch by Misses Nell FLOYD and Vicie [Mary LaVicie] HEFLIN [27 Sep 1891--22 Aug 1980]. In the parlor, Dr. and Mrs. LILES, their daughters, Misses Mamie [25 Nov 1889--9 Jul 1918] and Annie, and Judge and Mrs. John T. HEFLIN [J. T. HEFLIN, 2 Oct 1865--12 Jul 1948, and Carrie Ada DENNEY, 11 Sep 1869--3 Dec 1941] graciously received the many friends who called to offer their congratulations and good wishes. Mr. and Mrs. HEFLIN were attendants at the wedding of twenty-five years ago, and will celebrate a like anniversary in November. The dining table was a scene of artistic beauty, around which the guests gathered to enjoy the refreshments of the evening. On tables in the hallway were displayed a shining array of gifts presented by admiring friends. Chief among these was a very handsome silver service, properly engraved, and presented by Dr. LILES' fellow members of the medical profession. Many sincere wishes were expressed that the bride and groom of this Silver Anniversary might live to celebrate their Golden Wedding, and in these The Leader heartily joins.
