Allen - Ashford

At six o'clock Wednesday evening the wedding of Miss Pearl Agnes Allen and Mr. Howard Ashford of Birmingham, Ala., was performed by Rev. F. D. Cantrell, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Jot S. Allen, on Broad street.

Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss Bessie Webb, to which strains the bridesmaid, Miss Annie Candler, wearing white marquisette with pink trimmings and carrying a bouquet of pink rose buds, entered with the groomsman, Mr. Lake Terrell.

The bridge entered with her sister, Miss Ruth Allen, and was met at the alter by the groom and his best man, Mr. Jamie Ashford.

The bride was married in a going-away gown of tan cloth with hate to match, trimmed in plumes. Her flowers were a corsage of pink roses.

Miss Ruth Allen wore a dainty white lawn dress and carried pink roses.

Owing to the death of the bride's father the wedding was very quiet, only a few relatives and friends being present. The out-of-town relatives and friends were: Messrs. Rod and Ben Candler, Mr. and Mrs. James Harben of Atlanta; Mr. John Bowges, Birmingham, Ala.; Miss Clara Head, Clermont, Mr. John Braselton, Atlanta; Mrs. Rawson Dent, Newnan; Mrs. H. A Daniels; Mrs. Will Wing, Florida.

Mr. and Mrs. Ashford left immediately for Birmingham, where they will make their home. Mr. Ashford is bookkeeper for the local freight office of the A.G.S. Railroad.
