Two wed and town notes in Thomasville
The marriage of Miss Lettie Fleetwood and Mr. Wister Jay took place at 6 o clock this afternoon at the First Baptist church, with a full account promised tomorrow. Revival services at the First Baptist church overflowed again as the audience filled the main hall and overflow spaces. The Rose is the name chosen for Thomasville's new theatre after a names contest. The rain and cooler weather signal end of the hot spell, and the fire department was called to Craw ford street as paving work neared completion. The Country Club hosts a Thursday afternoon tea with a slate of hostesses.
