WEBB–LITTLE. Member of Auburn Faculty Weds Daughter of Mayor.

Auburn, Nov. [3].—(Special.)—The marriage of Miss Emma Little, daughter of Mayor C. E. Little, and Professor Reuben David Webb was celebrated at 4:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the Auburn Baptist church in the presence of a large assemblage of friends and relatives. The church was artistically decorated for the occasion, the color scheme of white and green being carried out in detail with Southern smilax, palms and white chrysanthemums.

The bridal party entered the church as the march from Wagner's "Lohengrin" was faultlessly rendered by Mr James Black, and formed in a semi-circle around the altar, a bridesmaid and groomsman alternating. The bride, preceded by the maid of honor, Miss Lucy Little, entered the church upon the arm of her father, going by the center aisle to the altar where she joined the groom, who had entered with his brother, Mr. J. O. Webb. In the center of the semi-circle formed by the attendants, stood the minister, Rev. C. C. Pugh, and as Miss Mary Drake rendered "O Promise Me" on the violin, he impressively performed the ceremony which united them for life.

The bride wore a gown of white crepe de chine trimmed with real lace. The maid of honor, Miss Lucy Little, sister of the bride was dressed in white tissue and carried a beautiful bouquet of white carnations. Mrs. J. M. Little, sister-in-law of the bride, was matron of honor.

The bridesmaids were Misses Olivia Armstrong, Lucile Burton and Annie Tompkins of Auburn; Maude Burke, and Lulie Young, of Montgomery. The best man was the brother of the groom, Mr. J. O. Webb, of Birmingham. The groomsmen were Messrs A. Bogard, B. S. Patrick, W. W. Hill, J. R. Rutland, of Auburn; J. F. Webb, brother of the groom and E. R. Norman, of Birmingham.

Miss Little is the daughter of Mayor C. E. Little, of Auburn, and by her sweet manner and beautiful character has won many friends wherever she is known.

The groom graduated from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in 1898 and since the fall of 1902, has been connected with the faculty of that institution. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees he was promoted to the position of Assistant Professor of English, which position he now holds.

Mr. and Mrs. Webb left on the evening train for Washington and other eastern points and, upon their return, will be at home to their many friends in Auburn.
