M. Slaton announce the engagement of their daughter, Lamar, to Mr. Edward Greenway Hitt, first lieutenant, U. S. A., the marriage to take place on the afternoon of Saturday, December 21, at the home of the bride's uncle and aunt, former Governor and Mrs. John M. Slaton, on Peachtree street. On account of recent bereavement in the family of the bride, the wedding will be a quiet, simple one, witnessed only by the families. The interest of a large acquaintance, however, will be centered in the event. The bride is the daughter of Mr. William M. Slaton, and granddaughter of Major William F. Slaton, both distinguished educators, and each for many years at the head of Atlanta's public school system. On the maternal side she is the granddaughter of Chief Justice James Jackson, and she is a sister of Captain William Slaton and Lieutenant John Slaton, of the American Expeditionary forces, and Mr. James Slaton. A young woman of beauty and charm, she has been one of the most popular figures in the social life since her debut two years ago. Mr. Hitt, who is in the engineer corps, detailed at Washington, is an Atlantan, prominently known in the railroad world, and with a host of friends. He is of prominent Georgia family. Mr. Hitt expects his release from the army before the date of the wedding, and with his bride will reside in New York city.
