A Brilliant Wedding.

On Tuesday evening. at Martin
College, Mr.. Ed. w. Rose, of the
firm of Pearcy d Rose, was married
to Miss Lula, the lovely aud accom-
plished daughter of Prof. and Mrs.
w. K. Jones. At o'clock the rel
atives of the contracting parties ana
a few special friends assembled in
the front parlor OF the college TO
witness the ever interesting eere-
mony of binding together two
young and happy hearts. As the
soft, melodious strains Of some
sweet melody came floating through
the room, the folding doors of the
psrlor glIded back, revealing in the
apartment beyond beautiful tab
leau. In the center stood the bride
and groom; on the right Mr.. Pink
Ezell with Miss Matte McCord and
Mr.. Thomas Meriwether Jones with
Miss Sue Childers; on the left Mr.
John o. Carter with Miss Alice
Leftwich and Mr.. Frank Rose with
Miss Mamie Jones. After remain
ing in this position for a moment,
the bridal party moved forward
until the bride and groom stood be-
meath large horseshoe (the popu
lar emblem for good luck } with the
letters ]. r. suspended in the cen
ter. The impressive ceremony was
then performed by Rev. DR.. Left
wIch. The bride and her attend
ants were elegantly attired, while
the groom and his best men APP
peared to advantage in q handsome
evening dress. After the congrat-
ulations, which were many and
hearty, the invited guests, among
whom were Miss Mollie Baird, of
Columbi and Mr.. Allen Harlan, OF
Maury, repaired to the spacious
dining room to partake of an elegant
supper. Prof and Mrs. Jones' hos
pitality being so widely known, it is
needless to say the repast was both
sumptuous and elegant. Four long
tables were arranged in the form of
q cross, with beautiful pyramid of
colored iellies at the interesting
point, with a dazzling array of
tempting dishes, calculated to shake
the asceticism of az anchorite, ar
tistically arranged. The manner
in which the guests disposed of the
dainties paid the highest possible
compliment to the skill and taste
of those who prepared them. Mr.
Rose, the groom, is a rising young
business man and deservedly a
great favorite in social circles. or
his lovely bride, we can only say
that we know of no one who occu-
pies a warmer place in the hearts of
her friends than she. Bright, warm
hearted and generous, good and &C
complished, she deserves a happy
future and we trust such will be
her lot. Below We give list of the
