The Georgia Enterprise October 24, 1889
     Thursday, October 24th, is Alliance Day at the Atlanta Exposition, and 
farmers and working men from all sections of the country will be present and 
take part in the exercises. Speeches will be made and a big time will be 
experienced. A double wedding will come off, the contracting parties to be 
rigged out in cotton bag gang and Gov. Gordon to officiate assisted by Dr. 
Morrison and Dr. Barnett. The couples are Mr. Wells and Miss Whaley, of 
Rockdale, and Mr. Jeff Baker and Mrs. Dena Langley of Newton County. Henry 
Grady will give away the brides. The bridal party will be escorted to the 
grounds in carriages covered in cotton bagging and will be married under a 
canopy of cotton bagging. Many gifts will be presented by visitors. It will be 
a gay and festive occasion for all who may be present. President Livingston has 
issued an invitation to all Alliance men to meet each other there.

The Georgia Enterprise, October 31, 1889
     Last week we stated Mr. Jeff Baker and Mrs. Langley would be married at 
the Exposition. Our informant was mistaken and we regret the publication, 
however we presume that friend Baker is about as sorry that it did not come off 
as we are for saying that it would take place.
