Livingston and Miss Minnie L. Downs was solemnized at Bethany Church, Newton County, on Christmas eve. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. L. Rogers, of Atlanta, in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. The bridal couple entered the church to the strains of a wedding march played by Miss Jennie Fox, of Ohio, and took their places under an arch of evergreen, trimmed with holly, where they were met by the officiating clergyman, who performed the ceremony in a very impressive manner. The bride in a lovely suit of dark blue Henrietta, trimmed with tulle _______ ________ appeared more charming, while the groom in the conventional black impressed all with his manly bearing. The groom is a son of Hon. L. F. Livingston, the newly elected member of Congress from the fifth district. The fair bride has grown from childhood to womanhood among the friends who witnessed her marriage and stands high in the estimation of all who are fortunate enough to enjoy her acquaintances. After hearty congratulations the newly married pair, together with the entire company repaired to the town hall where the remainder of the evening was pleasantly spent in rifling a beautiful Christmas tree of its precious contents, and listening to entertaining speeches and delightful music.
