Yesterday morning, by the Rev. E. W. Warren, at the residence of E. A. Ross, esq., Mr. Jackson Slappey was married to Miss Fannie Prescott, formerly of Columbus, Ga., Miss Prescott – now Mrs. Slappey – is a young lady well known to Macon society. She graduated a few years since at the Wesleyan Female College, carrying off first honor. Since then she has spent much of her time in this city and Columbus, and by her winning ways, and by her accomplishments, has made herself the favorite of every circle in which she moved.
Mr. Slappey, or “Jack Slappey,” as he is called altogether, has been known for years as the happiest man in Georgia. Genial, open-hearted and good-natured he possesses a wonderful talent for adapting himself to every grade and species of humanity; witty and quick at repartee, he stands first in the State as a raconteur. His talents have been turned to good uses; today he is the best-known man in Georgia and known too as a clear-headed, energetic business man. A commercial agent, by choice, he represents the great house of H. K. Thurber & Co., New York, having won his position by industry and popularity. His house sent its congratulations and a handsome present in the shape of a silver tea service.
Present at the wedding were the Misses Prescott, sisters of the bride, and Messrs. Charley Ross, R. S. Saulsberry, J. R. Saulsberry, A. D. Schofield, Joseph Bond, C. T. King, Robert Smit, John T. Boiseuillet, of the Daily Herald, and a TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER reporter. Mr. Slappey left with his bride on the morning train for a trip to New York. May the heavens be bright above them and their path be through roses.
