Lightner which was solemnized in the parlor of the home of the bride's parents on Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, a very beautiful and impressive ceremony being performed by Rev. John Eden of Perry. For many months past it has been rumored that this popular young couple were contemplating such a step, but none realized that the happy union was to be consumated so soon. Not until a few days previous to the appointed time was the marriage made known. No invitations were issued, consequently, none save the relatives and a few special friends of the contracting parties were present to witness the nuptial tie. Mrs. Lightner was one of Ellaville's fairest daughters, and accomplished in the many graces requisite to the development of a lovable woman. Dr. Lightner is a prominent Dentist of our town, and enjoys an enviable reputation, both in business and social life. Mr. and Mrs. Lightner left on the 6:30 train, shortly after their marriage, for Savannah, where Dr. Lightner will meet with the State Dental Society, now in convention at that place. After spending several days at Tybee, they will return to Ellaville and for the present will be at home to their friends at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R.E. Hill.
