Georgia Enterprise, Jan. 7, 1897
WOOTEN-PACE
  On Wednesday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Dec. 30, Hon. J. E. Wooten, of Eastman,
Ga., was united in marriage to Miss Annie Pace, of Covington. Rev. Dr. Morgan
Calloway, of Emory college, officiated. The marriage came off at the home of the
bride's parents, Captain and Mrs. J. M. Pace, and was a very charming social
event. Some fifty or more relatives and special friends from Georgia and other 
States were in attendance, and a large number of elegant and useful articles
were presented to the bride. A magnificent dinner was served and a joyful time
experienced by all. The halls, parlors and dining rooms were decorated with
evergreens and choice flowers. The bride is one of Covington's best, brightest
and noblest young ladies, possessing a sweet face and a cheerful, happy 
disposition, and whom to know is to admire and love. The groom is an able lawyer
and a courtly, magnetic gentleman. In speaking of the marriage a special to the
Atlanta Constitution says;
  "The tasteful arrangement of flowers and evergreens with which the halls
and lower floor of the house were decorated seemed appropriate to the Christmas
season and characteristic of this home of refinement and culture. The bride
is the eldest daughter of Hon. James M. Pace, who is well known throughout
the state as a distinguished member of the Georgia bar. Her mother was the 
youngest daughter of General Hugh A. Haralson, who for many years before the
war was a member of congress. Mrs. Wooten's many graces of person and character
have endeared her to a large circle of friends and admirers.
  Mr. Wooten is a graduate of Emory college and a prominent and successful 
member of the south Georgia bar.
  About fifty intimate friends of the family from home and abroad witnessed
the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Wooten left on their wedding tour, carrying with
them the good wishes and congratulations of their many friends."
  The Atlanta Journal also says; "Mrs. Wooten, as Miss Annie Pace, has made 
many friends in Atlanta during her frequent visits here with her relatives,
the Gordons and Bleckleys. She is a very lovely woman, and Mr. Wooten, the 
talented lawyer who has been so fortunate as to win her hand, is to be 
sincerely congratulated."
  The Covington Star says:-
  Mr. Will Redding, of Macon, was the groom's best man, and Mrs. E. E. Malcolm,
of Marietta, the bride's maid of honor.
  The parlors were decorated with evergreen and mistletoe-boughs, in most
beautiful designs, and presented a very artistic and charming appearance.
  The bride is one of Covington's brightest jewels in all the graces that make
women lovely and lovable. Refined, cultured, happy- her life was as serene as a
gentle stream flowing amid green meadows on a May morn.
  Many prominent visitors were present from abroad, among them were Mr. and Mrs.
Culberson, Mrs. Carrie Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. Burton Smith, Miss Caroline Gordon,
Mr. Frank Gordon, of Atlanta; Mr. John White, of Athens; Mr. Jeff Stewart, of
Jeffersonville, Indiana; Mr. John N. Bradshaw, of Orlando, Florida; Mr. and Mrs.
L. D. Pace, of Washington City, and others.
  The groom is a prominent lawyer, and is mayor of Eastman.
