The Atlanta Constitution
A MACON MARRIAGE
From the Macon Telegraph we clip the following account of a brilliant wedding 
in that city. Both the groom and his accomplished bride have many friends in 
Atlanta:
  Last night, at St Paul's, one of the most brilliant social occurrences of the 
season took place, in the marriage of Mr. Robert Whitfield of Milledgeville, to 
Miss Effie Harris, of this city.
  The Episcopal service, was read with the usual emotion by the gifted rector, 
Rev. R. F. Jackson, Jr., and the two were linked together, for life for weal or 
woe.
  The attendants were four of the bride's former classmates, and were Miss 
Lillian Roberts and Miss Fannie Reese, Miss Lelia Gordon and Miss Katie 
Tinsley, and Mr. Wylie Harris, brother of the bride.
  The bride was handsomely attired in white organdie trimmed with lace, with a 
flowing bridal veil of delicate texture and looked very lovely. The bridesmaids 
were dressed in while and looked beautiful and very sweet.  After the ceremony 
the bridal pair and the attendants had a handsome collation at the residence of 
the bride's father. They left on the Atlanta train last evening for a short 
tour to Atlanta and from thence to Milledgeville, their future home.
   Miss Harris is a daughter of our townsman, Colonel J. C. Harris, lately 
chosen by his fellow citizens to a seat in the lower branch of the legislature, 
and granddaughter of Judge Iverson L. Harris, whose name in known by every 
lover of the past of our state.
  Mr. Whitfield is a rising young attorney in Milledgeville.
   We wish for them clear skies and soft breezes as they float down the stream 
of time.
