Double Wedding of Prominent Macon Couples, Mr. Jack Windham, of this City Being
One of Contracting Parties

News of the marriage of Mr. Jack Windham, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.J. Windham, of
Butler, which was received here some days ago, was a surprise to his many
friends, but following the interesting announcement hearty good wishes of
abundant friends are extended the happy couple.

Mr. Windham has been holding a fine position at Macon for a number of months,
during which time he met Miss Califf.  Friendship of the couple soon ripened
into love resulting in their marriage at Brunswick last week, an account of
which is contained in the following from the Brunswick paper:

“A double marriage replete with romance and which was solemnized Wednesday night
has just managed to creep to the surface, so successfully had the contracting
parties managed to keep the affair a secret.”

“About a week ago, so the story goes, two attractive young Macon ladies left
their homes to spend a short time on the seacoast and selected St. Simons Island
holding out more attractions than any other.  And so to St. Simons they came.”

“A few days later two popular young men of Macon concluded to spend several days
at the seaside resort and selected St. Simon as being themost attractive – and
to St. Simons they journeyed.”

“When the boat reached the pier at the island Monday morning Mr. Jesse B. Hodges
and Mr. James J. Windham, Jr., of Macon, were happily greeted by Misses Mabel
Willis and Glynn M. Califf, also of Macon.

“The young couples were seen frequently together, and made many friends among
the guests on the island by their genial personalities.  It was noticed that the
couples were becoming more devoted as the hours went by, but it was thought by
interested ones to be only a summer flirtation.”

“Without any intimation of what was to be the object of a little trip over to
Brunswick, Mr. Hodges and Miss Willis and Mr. Windham and Miss Califf boarded
the boat Wednesday noon for this city.  In the evening they repaired to the
residence of Mr. Lacy McKinnon, where they found Rev. S.J. Cartledge, supply
pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and requested that he perform the
ceremony for them.  The knot was tied in a most pleasing manner by the minister
and in a few minutes the happy couples were on their way to catch a boat for
their return trip to the island where they will spend their honeymoons.

“The only announcement the newlyweds will give out is: No cards, no cake,
nobody’s business.”
