An Interesting Occasion.
For several days past the people of Knoxville
who look with interest on such occasions, have
been looking forward to an event which trans
pired at the First Presbyterian Church yester-
day evening at o'clock. Long before the
hour arrived the crowd began to assemble, and
continued to come, until the spacious audience
room of that large church was full to overflow
ing. After the seats had all been occupied, the
aisles were filed with friends of the happy
couple, anxious to witness the beautiful cere-
mony that was to unite them ''as one.''
At precisely o'clock the carriages arrived
containing the bridal party, and Mr. Alvin
Barton the accomplished organist for the occa-
sion, seated himself at the organ, and as the
party entered struck the lively strains of Ever
be Happy" The party entered in the follow
ing order; through the right aisle, Miss Anna
Cox and Mr.. Joseph O. Strong Miss Lizzie
Brooks and Mr.. J. M. Duncan; Miss Susie
Ayres and Mr.. w. B. McMunen, in the order
mentioned. Through the left aisle, Miss Ella
Boyd and Mr. Edward Rogan; Miss Lucy j.
McClung and Mr.. ]. G. j. Williams Miss
Juliet NJ. Park and Mr.. w. B. French. Miss
Mary P. McClung and Mr.. Will McNutt Miss
Nellie Hord and Mr.. S. B. Kennedy entered the
main aisle, followed by the bride and BRIDE
groom-Miss Lizzie Boyd and Mr.. William
Caswell. The bridesmaids and groomsmen
marched to the head of the aisles, each couple
to the opposite side from which they entered,
where they performed graceful ."about-face'
and formed in semi circle facing the congre
CATION with the bride and bridegroom in the
centre. The house was splendidly lighted, so
that fine opportunity was afforded for observ-

coats and pants with white vests ties and kids. |
The organ tones died away and Rev. James |
Park, the Pastor of that church, made the usual |
announcement for such occasions, and then |
proceeded to make some very impressive re-
marks on the subject of matrimony, after which |
he united the happy couple as husband and |
wife, using beautiful and impressive cere-
mony. The responses were made in a clear and |
audible voice, when the minister pronounced |
them husband and wife ''in the name of the
Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"
and we have no doubt every heart present re-
sponded hearty amenl Mr.. Park then
greeted the bride and bridegroom with his salu--
tations, and Mr. Barton struck up on the organ
the wedding march" when the large crowd |
dispersed. The bridal party repaired to the
residence of the brides father, Mr. S. B. Royd,
where they received the congratulations of a
lage number Of friends, and later in the even
ing partook of an elegant supper.
During the day yesterday, the bride received
many valuable and elegant presents, few of
" hich ss.ws will mention. From Miss Boyd, a
silver castor a silver service, consisting of
salver and pitcher, from DR.. and Mrs. Jno. NJ

chief rings and silver card case from the BRIDES
