A Midnight Wedding
At eleven o'clock last Tuesday night, the telephone bell at the
Presbyterian manse jingled madly, and a voice said, in answer to the
usual response, "They have come at last. Can we come around there and
have them married at the Manse?"
"Why, of course, any one can be married from the manse, and especially
your friends.
In five minutes a large motor car came puffing up to the residence of
the Presbyterian pastor and a gay party got out. They had left Macon at
five o'clock in the afternoon, expecting to arrive in the city before
dark. They didn't, however. Rains had softened the earth in various
places and particularly on the margin of a stream abut seven miles from
Macon, so that when the heavy car rolled into the mud, it stuck. There
it remained while the sun slowly climbed down the western slopes. But
that bridal party did not enjoy the sunset as much as they might have
under other circumstances. Neither did they rave over the soft twilight
that followed, nor the darkness that followed the twilight. Their
attention as focussed on mud--plain mud.
Finally, after what seemed ages, the "honk" of an approaching car was
heard. The usual signals of distress were given. The stranger attached a
rope. There was a mighty heave--and the mud gave way. The bridal party
was saved. What reacked it that the benevolent stranger himself got
stuck. Is it not all in the days run? So argued the happy party as they
alighted, and answered the momentous questions that made two hearts
happy and two lives as one.
The contracting parties were Mr. Ray Wilkins (sp) and Miss Alice
Beatrice Weeks (sp) who are esteemed residents of Macon. They are
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Babb, who are well know throughout the
city.
