The marriage ceremony will be performed by Rev. J. C. Massee, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, amid special decorations that heighten the usual beauty of the lovely home.
The bride is an especially talented and handsome young woman, daughter of the late J. C. Ellington, for many years State Librarian.

They will leave here on the evening train for a bridal trip, which will include Tampa, Fla., and Cuba.
