On the night of the eist inst. Mr.. Thos.
Watson gave a reception to the bridal
party, at his residence, about seven miles
from Franklin 1t was one of those
grand affairs which tho princely South
erners of the olden time delighted to give,
and for which Nfr. Watson is famous.
TIE approach to the residence was lighted
up by innumerable transparencies, of ev-
ery hue of the rainbow, which made the
place like scene in fairy land. Enter
the ball room, and there behold old Will
iamson's lovely daughters arrayed in al
most regal apparel. In the farthest
corner of the spacious parlor stands the
remarkably handsome groom and his
beautiful and accomplished bride. Prom
enading the parlor is the petite figure of
Mis- X. Cs=**, whose original and piquant
conversation makes her the centre of an
interesting group of intellectual gentle
men dressed in beautiful white tarletan,
as were all the lady attendants. Stand
ing in graceful pose, near column, is
the lovely and beautiful Miss L. B**, ac-
companied.by squadron ofbeaux drawn
there by her bewitching brown eyes and
charming conversation. (She has two
brothers and two editors in her service
Who is that tall, beautiful lady, with
Grecian face and form, gliding across the
room, with the languid grace Of the trop-
les, and the spiritof our healthy cline?
1t is Miss A. Ms@*%*z. That little bright,
vivacious lady, whose pure heart wins
the affections of all around her, Is MISS
s. M*sz. We now miss two OF the attend
ants, Miss S. DEC. and Miss L.. r., both
absent OH account of sickness. Miss 5.
Dec @&**@&%&** is known as the belle OF
Williamson, and not of Williamson only,
for her surprising beauty has made her
famous throughout Middle Tennessee.
She inherits the viyacity of her French
parentage, and is type of our glorious
which produces woman with
all the charms possible to human nature.
She is gloriously beautiful. Miss l..
Pxtz**s is beautiful and intellectual, and
her absence from the festive scene caused
a pang of anguish to many who know
her but to love her. Sympathy for her
and pity for those unfortunates are the
of our feelings. Among the
guests who were consultations in this
galaxy of heavenly beauties was one
Miss L. G*@ssz*, from the fair land of the
Sunny South, whose speaking face and
pure character was fifty represented by
the boquette of exotics that graced her
lat. r. tort
to meet her during the evening, and we
parted from her with feelings of deep re-
gret, not that happiness was not immor-
tai, but that the sensations OF delight
were interrupted by the rude cares of
worldly matters. Miss n. DEG. is another
beauty peculiar to Williamson county;
exuberant with health, fine looking and
Miss L. C$**%%*=#, with beau>
tiful hazel eyes, and splendid face, that
one of noble Virginia and her
illustrious Lee, moves across the floor
with all the dignity of queen. Spring
Hill was appropriately represented by
her fair blonde, Miss Nj. c.. with beauti-
fui blue eyes, Miss NJ. b., Miss NJ. s.,
Miss w. N, and Miss S"sz*** are fair
specimens of the beautiful women of old
There were many others
present, equally deserving of praise, but
we did not learn their names.
The supper was magnificent and splen-
did, both in quantity and quality. 1t
was elegant, magnificent, princely, and
worthy of the large-hearted host and the
beautiful and queenly hostess.
Many guests from Nashville and Co
lumbia were present, who wore kindly
cared for by Mr.. w. L. DeGraffcnrcid and
III. J. w. Hughes.
