WILLIAMS--JORDAN A prominent social
event at Buena Vista was the wedding of Miss
Elizabeth Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.M.
Williams, and Dr. John Rodolf Jordan, of Ellaville,
which took place Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, Rev.
W.D. McGregor, pastor of the Methodist church,
officiated, and during the ceremony, the bride and
groom stood outside the chancel under a large white
bell, half hidden by quantities of green foilage,
which hung from the bell to the different
chandeliers.  The railing was a bank of green,
lighted with candles and within the semi-circle
stood the attendants.  Behind them was a profusion
of green upon a background of white.  Miss Martha
Williams, sister of the bride, was maid of honor,
and Mr. Roney Jordan, brother of the groom, was best
man.  The attendants were Miss Mary Mathews of
Talbotton, and Mr. Homer Daniel of Americus;  Miss

beautiful and costly presents were received.  Dr.
and Mrs. Jordan will make their home in Ellaville.--
