MADDUX-McKETHAN WEDDING
Miss Martha Jane McKetlian of
Suoth Bosque and James W. Maddux
of Hewitt exchanged marriage vows
in a candle-light service at tfie Har-
ris Creek Baptist Church on Thurs-
day evening. Dr. J. W. Ouslev of
Baylor University performed the
marriage rites in a double-ring cere-
mony.
The bride was gowned in a crisp
white organdy . creation which was
of Georgian Belle design. The prin-
cess type bodice adjoined a skirt of
fluted ruffles which extended the full
skirt length and billowed into a
short half-train effect. The.veil was
of nylon net, bordered with wide
bands of real French lace. The coronet
holding the veil, copied after that of
the Elizabethean period, was in a de-
sign of hearts and roses of rhine-
stones and seed pearls.
The center of the bouquet was an
orchid surrounded by Fleur cl’Amour.
White- satin love knots around cluster
of sweetheart buds adorned the
white Bible on which she carried her
floral arrangement. Attached stream-
ers fell in loops to the length of her
veil. She wore elbow length gloves,
matching the lace of her bertha.
The maid of honor ^was Miss Elsie
Maddux, sister of the groom. Four
sisters of the bride were her brides
maids— Cynthia, Nancy, Susan and
Flora, all of South Bosque.
Mrs. Wayne McKetlian, cousin of
the bride sang, “Through the Years”
and “Because,” accompanied by
Miss Kathryn Hoy.
Charley Maddux, of Hewitt, bro-
ther of the groom, was his best man.
His other attendants were Clinton
MeKetlien, Marvin Lancia, Mike Mc-
Bride and Curtis McLemore.
Clint McKetlian,III, was ring
bearer. Jimmie Lauiv and Wayne Me-
Ketchen were candle lighters and
ushers.
The wedding reception which fol-
lowed the ceremony was held at
“Hidden Hollow,” home of the
bride’s aunt, Mrs. J. C. McBride.
The refreshment table held a cen-
terpiece of white gladioli and pom-
pom mums around a cupid figurine
and two white doves. The three tier-
ed wedding cake was embossed with
birds and flowers around a piinature
bride and groom.
Receiving the guests were Mrs. JJ-
G. McKetlian, mother of the bride,
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Maddux, the par-
ents of the groom, the bride’s at-
tendants and the bridal couple.
The guest book was' presided over
by Miss Alma Outlaw of Post, and
was signed by 200 guests.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H. G. McKetlian of South'
Bosque. She was a member of the
summer graduating class at Baylor
University where she majored in
physical education. She is a member
of Delta Psi Kappa. She will be on the
Speegleville school faculty during
the coming year.
Mr. Maddux is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. E. G. Maddux of Hewitt. He is
a graduate of Lorena high school 'and
attended John Tarlton College. He is
a mW II veteran, having served in
the ETO.
For a honeymoon trip they are
touring the Southern States.
THIS-THAT
PERISHABLE FARM STUFF
In its effort to support farm,
prices under existing legislation
the Government has acquired
huge stocks of spoilable foods,
but Secretary of Agriculture
Charles F. Brannon says that the
war emergency will not solve the;
problem.
The Government now holds
200,000,000 pounds of butter,
well over 350 million pounds
dried milk. , 100 million pounds
of cheese and 107 million pounds
dried eggs.
Some new approach to the
handling of perishable farm
products is imperative.
Mrs. Ed Reeves, who has been
confined to her room the past
week with an injured back is
slowly improving.

had company last week end.
We noticed Mr. and Mrs. Har-
old Jenkins, Jr. here from their

Was talking with a mother
the other day whose lovely young
daughter will be leaving soon
for college and she is already
feeling “mighty low” thinking
of the separation, etc. that it
brings. Yes, life is like that;
we want them to grow up, be
educated, take their place in the
world, but when they leave there
is that heart ache that only a
parent knows, and especially
mothers.
