           Their Wedding Occurred at The First Baptist Church, and They 
                      Leave for California on a Bridal Tour

     On Thursday of this week at 12:30 o'clock, Mrs. Clara Hyman and Mr. Carlton
M. McKenzie were united in marriage, the ceremony taking place at the First
Baptist Church, Cordele, Ga. , Rev. J. D. Winchester, of this city officiating.
     The marriage attracted unusual attention, because of the prominence of the
contracting parties. The Bride is well-know in Cordele, although a resident of
Macon. She is sister to Messrs. L. J. Bush, S. J. Bush, and Miss Epsie Bush, of
this city. The Groom is prominent, progressive and popular; a a resident of
Cordele since it was chartered as a city, and for the past two years the
talented editor of the Cordele Daily News.
     The Church was never more beautifully decorated than upon this occasion,
under the direction of Mrs. P.M. Berg, Miss Marie Montford and Mrs. J. W.
Bivins, assisted by other ladies.
     Just preceding the ceremony Mr. Robert E. Harris sang "Oh, Promise Thee,"
his sister Miss Essie, playing the accompaniment. Mrs. T. E. Jennings presided
at he organ in rendering the march accompanied by Mrs. J. B. Pate on the violin
and Mr. Bonta on the clarinet.
      The bride came in upon the arm of her brother, Mr. L. J. Bush, while Mr.
Robert L. McKenzie was best man to his brother, the groom. The ushers were Col.
W. W. Dykes, of Americus, Mr. Lofton Hyman of Macon, Prof. C. B. Smith and Mr.
B. H. Palmer, of Cordele.
     Little Vivan and Inez daughters of the bride, preceded and untied the
ribbons to the martial altar. The couple stood beneath an exquisite bell formed
of bride roses and ferns, with a silver clapper, made by Mrs. Bivins.
     After the marriage Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie left on the north bound G. S. F.
train for a several weeks trip to California, Pike's Peak, Yellowstone Park and
other points of interest in the great west and northwest.
     Many and beautiful were the presents given by numerous relatives and
friends of this couple, which bespeaks their popularity.
     The SENTINEL wishes to join the great throng of friends in extending hearty
congratulations and very best wishes for a long and prosperous wedded life of
this happy couple, a pleasant bridal tour and a safe return to Cordele, their
future home.
