Marriage at Calhoun.

Friends of the parties in Cartersville have received invitations to the marriage of Mr. Clifford H. Barnes, formerly of this city, but now of Atlanta, and Miss Edith Ransome, a popular and interesting young lady, of Calhoun, which will occur at the Methodist church in that city on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 23d at four o’clock.

Mr. Barnes was for several years located here in the service of the Western & Atlantic railroad as night telegraph operator, and was recently promoted to better position with the same company in Atlanta, where he now resides. Mr. Barnes is a young man of sterling qualities, is a fine operator, and made many friends during his residence in Cartersville who will wish him much joy.

Married at Calhoun.

The constitution contains the following notice of the marriage of Mr. Clifford Barnes and Miss Edith Ransone, at Calhoun:

A pretty and elaborate wedding was solemnized in Calhoun, Ga., yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the First Methodist church. The contracting parties were Mr. Clifford H. Barnes, of Atlanta, and Miss Edith Ransone, of Calhoun. The attendants were Miss Mamie Wyatt, a cousin of the bride, maid of honor, and Mr. E. P. Barnes, of Atlanta, best man. The bridesmaids were Misses Georgia Jones and Maude Ballew, of Calhoun, and the groomsmen Messrs. Sidney J. Heard and J. L. Lanier, of Atlanta. Ushers, Messrs. J. L. Johnson, of Atlanta, and G. F. Ransone, of Tunnel Hill, Ga.

The ceremony was performed by Dr. Hollingsworth, of Cartersville, assisted by Rev. M. C. Williams, of Calhoun.

The bridesmaids formed a pleasing feature of the ménage. Little Juliet Ballew represented Cupid, and had charge of a large transparent “bleeding heart,” which bore on one side the names “Ransone and Barnes.” Just as the ceremony was concluded she bore the one name “Barnes.”

Miss Ransone is one of Calhoun’s loveliest girls and is extremely popular. Mr. Barnes is a gentleman of sterling worth.
