Orange Blossoms in Woodville—A Delightful Occasion
Woodville, January 14.—(Special)—Married in Bairds’ church yesterday evening, 
Mr. Robert M. Callaway and Miss Tommie Callahan, Chancellor P. H. Mell, of the 
State university, officiating in a beautiful and concise ceremony according to 
the custom of the Baptist church.  The church was beautifully decorated.  In 
front of the pulpit was a beautiful arch of evergreens, in the center of which 
was a large letter C, and a small C beautifully wreathed in the center of the 
large one.  The two C’s represent the initials of the bride and groom.  There 
were six couples as attendants, each of which, on entering the church, marched 
up its aisles whilst the organ, presided over by Mrs. Mattie Cheney, pealed 
forth a beautiful wedding march.  The attendants took their positions on 
opposite sides of the pulpit of the church, the bride and groom taking their 
place under the arch of beautiful evergreens, when the ceremony was performed 
as described above.  After which the wedding party repaired to the residence 
of Mrs. T. Callahan, mother of the bride, where a splendid supper was 
immensely enjoyed by all present. 

The presents were numerous and handsome, among which we noticed a beautiful 
silver castor, presented by Mr. And Mrs. C. C. Davison, of Woodville.

Mr. Callaway is a popular young merchant of the firm of Cheney & Callaway, and 
his fair bride is an amiable and lovely young lady beloved by all for her 
numerous graces that so much adorn and beautify female character.
