Agreeable to the announcement of some days ago Miss Maggie Kennedy of 
Statesboro, Ga. and Mr. Lovick Sewell of Metter, Ga. were married at high noon 
August 9th, 1905.  After refreshments the party left for Talbotton, Ga.  To 
heighten the coming to Mr. Sewell’s former home a selected party met them at 
Paschal on the afternoon of the 10th.  The reception given in honor of the 
happy couple was announced some days before.  In response to invitations about 
fifty guests assembled at the beautiful and hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. 
James Lee Sewell which never appeared more lovely than on this occasion.  The 
veranda, reception room and spacious hall were decorated with rare pot plants, 
while the dining room under the skillful touch and sugestious of Mrs. R.A. 
Maxwell and Miss Ella Marshall presented a truly Edenic scene, white and green 
being the color scheme.  The walls beautifully adorned with smilax and other 
lovely clinibors looked down by a white light on the table crossing at right 
angles, exquisite in loveliness with green foliage, white blossoms, dainty 
dishes, bright silver, beautifully embossed cakes, the most beautiful one 
immediately in front of the bride and groom indicating the union of two hearts, 
two lives.  The menu was very dainty and palatable and gracefully served after 
which for some time the merry voices of many happy couples rang out on the 
evening air indicating the beautiful and sunny side of life of the assembled 
guests.  The presents were numerous and beautiful forcible attestations of love 
and esteem.

Mr. and Mrs. Sewell begin their new life under very favorable auspices.  She 
being from two of Bulloch County’s best families and possessing so many 
attributes of grace, loveliness and true worth.  She is well fitted to be the 
companion of Mr. Sewell whose many sterling qualities of head and heart are too 
well known in his old home to need comment and already stands high in the 
business world, being cashier of a very flourishing bank and destined to rise 
higher.  The most adulatory commendation however ‘tis a union of a Christian 
lady and gentleman, which union will no doubt receive God’s richest blessings.
