MISS GLADYS ARRINGTON MARRIED TO JOHN C. WALKER, JR., SUNDAY
Prominent among the important weddings of the holiday season was that of Miss 
Gladys Arrington and John C. Walker, jr., of Marshallville which was 
solemnized at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.A. Arrington, 
Sunday at 12 o'clock.  Rev. Hugh Dozier, pastor of Ellaville Baptist church 
officiated before an assemblage of relatives and friends.

An altar was improvised in the living room of the home, formed of miniature 
pine trees interspersed with garlands of Southern smilax, against which seven 
branched candelabra holding burning white tapers and floor baskets of gladioli 
were placed.

The mantel was banked with Southern smilax, and in the midst of the greenery 
seven tapers were placed alternately.  Pedestal baskets held long stemmed 
white narcissi and garlands of bamboo decorated the dining room entering the 
living room.

A program of nuptial music was presented by Mrs. Bessie Lou Lightner and Miss 
Ruth Statham of Moultrie.

As Mrs. Lightner played "At Dawning" by Cadman, Miss Frances Arrington, sister 
of the bride lighted the candles about the improvised altar and on the 
mantle.  

Following the lighting of the candles, Miss Statham sang, "Because" by D' 
Hardelot and "I Love You Truly" by Carrie Jacobs Bond.

Mrs. Lightner wore a becoming wine colored ensemble with black accessories and 
a shoulder corsage of white camellias.

To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march the bride and groom entered 
unattended.

The bride wore a lovely suit of slate wool trimmed in brown squirrel.  The fur 
tapered to the edge of the coat that rippled at the waist line.  She wore a 
smart hat made of the same material as the dress.  Her accessories were brown 
and a shoulder corsage of orchids showered with lilies of the valley completed 
her costume.

Mrs. Arrington, mother of the bride, wore a dress of teal blue crepe.  Her 
corsage was of dusty pink camellias.

Mrs. Walker, mother of the groom, wore black crepe trimmed in black lace.  Her 
accessories were black and she wore a corsage of white camellias.

Following the ceremony, the bride's parents entertained with a wedding

Lucile Thompson, Mrs. Julian Bonner, Mrs. C.C. Williamson, Mrs. M.F. Pixton,
