the great heart Of Central Kentucky beat
with mightier ihrob Of pride and pleasure
thrE upon Wednesday evening, when cele-
brating the marriage festivities Of Miss
Maggie Robinson, the "White Dove" Of
Gauard, and Mr.. Robert Harding. Of Dan

Mn. Margaret Robinson, anf IL 20 nniver.
sally recognized a. on embodiment Of wo-
manly virtues that an insane girl impul-
sively bestowed upon her the appropriate
appellation of "White Dove" and In this
gentle euisc she comes into every heart.
The bridegroom is son of the late Aaron
Harding Esq, and Il young lawyer Of
high integrity and -Potlesa reputation. The
course Of true love has run smooth in this
case for several years, and the happy an.
ion was contaminated At half past seven
o'clock, on the evening Of the 22d. Trini-
ty Church in Danville, where the ceremo.
ny was performed, was literally packed
with invited guests, four hundred and ffiy
invitations having been sent out. The
ohancel was fcsiooned to the ceiling with
cedar, studded with brilliant natural flow
ers From the central point Of union hung
two monographs in white and red flowers,
revealing behind bridal bell Of exquisite
white roses suspended over the bridal pair.
The arrangement Of the festoons left four
spaces to be adorned. In one was a large
anchor made Of scarlet and pink blossoms
artistically shaded. In the second was a
horseshoe Of white, ornamented with
sprig Of misilstoe in gilt. In the third was
a true-love-knot Of white blossoms, the
center marked with light and dark hello
trope. In the fourth space were two large
hearts, one Of red, the other Of white, over
tapping each ether and pieced together
with a gilt arrow. lowering over the bell
we're two white doves, whose significance
was at once apparent to all. Two white
and gilt banners bearing notices Of love
and fidelity, finished the hangings. The
communion table, pulpit and reading-desk
we're filed with bouquets, vines and pot
flowers in bloom. Az o'clock variety
Of beautiful opera airs was played on the
organ, and at the appointed hour Mendels-
sohn's Wedding March ushered in the
party. There were four pairs Of attend
ants, whose entree and attitudes were in
due form. The ladies were Misses Sallie
Harding, Annie Lee, Lucy Brown and An
ME Shelby. The gentlemen were Messrs.
Richard Dunlap. Robert Evans, George
Robinson and james Gentry. The ushers
we're Messrs. Ben Bright and W. W. Ows-
ley. The ceremony was impressive, and
never were VOWS taken with truer empha-
sis. At the conclusion the bridal march
from Lohengrin accompanied the depart
use Of the party. They at.once proceeded
with the invited guests to Camp Dick Rob
inson, whose martial halo was for time
transformed into a fairy land Of light, love
and music The clear beams Of the young
moon shone upon the procession Of vehic-
les, and an hours drive brought the guests
in sight Of the Chinese lanterns that illu-
minated the grounds, land in sound Of the
Band that greeted the arrivals with burst
of melody. The apartments of the house
we're tastefully draped with lace and dec
Grated with the everg reen symbols of mat
rimonial felicity. One room was appro-
priated to the beautiful and costly gifts that
prove the popularity Of the bride, some be-
ing arranged on tables with clusters Of flow-
ers, and Others in lovely terraced slcove
formed by lace curtains bordered with ever
green. The word "Welcome" was conspic-
uous among the adornments. The tables,
it is almost unnecessary to say, were mira
c!es Of cookery, CONNECTIONS, fruits, flowers
and ornaments. "Fayors" expensive and
tasteful we're among the Injuries. Mrs. |
Margaret Robinson and Mrs. Do5yns grace
fully dispensed the honors Of the house.
