A Happy Marriage
Was That of Mr. W.B. Baker and Miss Perla Pope Yesterday Afternoon

As was announced in the last issue of The Journal, Mr. W.B. Bakes and
Miss Perla Pope were united in marriage at the Methodist church here at
4 o'clock p.m. yesterday. Notwithstanding the inclement weather a large
crowd was present to witness the ceremony, which was performed in a
beautiful and impressive manner by A.B. Pope, a brother of the bride. It
is sufficient to say the decorations and the music were equal to the
occasion and that the event was one of more than ordinary interest.
After the ceremony the bride and groom were driven to Williamson where
they took the Georgia Midland train for New Orleans and other points of
interest, to be away ten days.

Mr. Baker is a young man of high moral character and is regarded as one
of the shrewdest business men in the state. He is only 24 years of age
and we predict for him a future of great usefulness and prosperity. The
bride is the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Judge and Mrs. J.S.
Pope. She has hundreds of friends and admirers and is acknowledged by
all as one of the fairest of the many beautiful young ladies of which
this community is noted. But aside from personal attractions, she is a
young lady of positive Christian character, and that home presided over
by her is bound to be a happy one. The Journal congratulates both Mr.
and Mrs. Baker and hopes that their honeymoon lasts fifty years.
