The CanitoI Store


Notwithstanding the dissolving
clouds and weeping skies seemed to
ban the nuptiaI ceremonies at the
Church of the Messiah on last
Tuesday night, get were there
many friends assembled to witness
the troth- plight of two young per-
sons, whose honored names are rep
resentative and historic in the an
nails of Giles-James Polk, the son
of the venerable Charles Alternately,
and Miss Lula, the lovely daughter
of our distinguished fellow-towns-
man, the Hon. Thomas NJ. Jones.
The church was brilliantly illumi
mated by hundred blazing lights,
arrayed In arches and spiral ranks.
The walls and pillars we're orna-
mented with festoons of flowers, and
decked in the drapery of the grace
full evergreen.
The ceremony was Impressive, the
bride and maids were beautiful in
their gorgeous wardrobes, and the
groom and groomsmen graceful, and
elegantly attired. After the cere-
mony the wedding party and the in
vited friends repaired to the pala-
tial residence of the brides father,
where an elegant repast was served
and congratulations were received
by the charming bride.
