Jackson Argus – Week of October 19, 1896
KINARD - MCCALLUM

Affair Last Evening – Society Turns Out in Force

There has been a great deal of interest manifested in the wedding, which
occurred at the Baptist church last evening.  The contracting parties were Mr.
Steven B. Kinard and Miss Clyde McCallum, both of this city.  The social
prominence of the contracting parties added very much to the importance of the
occasion.

At 8 o’clock the bridal party entered the church and took their positions in a
very unique and original manner while the strains of the wedding march filled
the church.  The arrangements of the attendants and others of the party was at
once harmonious and systematic, and the march was most cleverly executed.  The
bride and groom stood beneath a beautiful canopy of Oriental design, while Rev.
G. H. Carter performed the ceremony in a most impressive manner.   The
decorations of the church were pretty and elegant and in complete harmony with
the occasion.

THE RECEPTION

After the ceremony at the church the guests of the occasion repaired to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Carmichael, where a most elegant and sumptuous repast was
served.   No pains or expense seemed to have been spared in getting up this
luxurious feast.   The dining hall was one gay festoon of harmonious
decorations.    The wedding cake was exquisite.   Deftly embossed upon the body
of the cake was surmounted an exact likeness of the canopy beneath which the
bridal couple stood.    Beneath this likeness stood a miniature bride and groom.
   The cake was topped with a heart, on which was inscribed:” from Clyde to
Stephen.”

THE PRESENTS

The presents were numerous and handsome.    Such a rich aggregation of beautiful
and costly presents has seldom been seen in Georgia.   Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
McCallum gave a handsome upright piano, which was the most valuable present.

This marriage is evidently a crowning social event and in brilliancy has not
been surpassed in our city.  The parties are most highly connected and we cannot
say too much in their praise.
