"A scence of striking beauty anS
equal solemnity is presented when
handsome, loving couple stand a
the hymeneal altar and plight thei.
troths and thus join together hvei
that shall forever live as one anC
hearts that have long months pull
stated with ardent reciprocal de
yotion. Such was the scene behelC
by a CITIZEN representative on las
| Thursday night, the Sd inst, at the
residence of Mrs. Sue Adams in Pu.
laski, when Mr.. WILLIAM CHAPEL
| NELSON, the efficient and courtly as.
sistant cashier Of the Giles National
Bank, was married to Miss GEORGIA
ADAMS, than whom Pulaski ne'el
boosted a belle more beautiful nor
one more universally admired. Al
$50 a brilliant throng Of invited
friends and relatives had assembled
in the parlors and were commenting
upon the beautiful decorations and
discussing the event that called
them together. 1t was evident that
much thought had been taken inplan
ming the decorations and an equal
amount of care expended in their
execution. Across the folding
doors there extended in waves fes
toon of evergreen, from the center
was suspended horseshoe, also OF
evergreens, finished with white
roses and silver leaves and sprigs.
This encircled two hearts, one OF
white and the other of pink roses.
Above all this and extending the en-
tire length of the room was the
scriptural quotation:
3 Thy People shall be Ny People.
the letters being wrought of ar6or
Vita, improvised by the exquisite
taste and skill Of Miss Eleanor Spot
ford.
A rustic of silks at the door, and
all eyes were turned upon the bride
as she entered leaning upon the
arm of her brother, Mr.. John Ad-
ans, followed by Mrs. Adams, sup
ported by the groom, and Miss
Martha Adams with Mr.. Jno. o.
Carter, Miss Mamie Crockett with
Mr.. Ed. B. Craig, Miss May Buford
with Mr. Henry McLemore and
Miss Sallie McLemore with Mr..
Newt. II. White, as attendants. The
bride and groom stood beneath the
decorations while Rev. T. F. Gailor
pronounced the beautiful and inn
pressive Episcopal ceremony. The
bride was attired in a cream rep
silk, trimmed with satin and an
tique lace. The waiste was made
in Bertha style with Grecian folds
running vertically across the bo
som, and the garniture was clama
tbs and sensitive plants. Diamonds
were her ornaments. The fact
that the brides mother wore the
dress twenty-seven years ago when
she was married added interest to
it's beauty. 1t was then white, but
time had wrought it into rich
cream. Miss Martha Adams, the
first bridesmaid, wore cream col
ored brocaded satin. Miss Mamie
Crockett was beautiful in a light
blue brocaded satin, trimmed with
point lace and diamonds. Miss
May Buford wore pink satin, with
cream lace trimmings. Miss Sallie
McLemore was attired in a sea
shell satin, ruffled with point Gp
rIique; garniture of scarlet roses.
Ornaments, cameo. 1t was strik-
ingly noticeable that the bride nor
any of the bridesmaids wore trains.
The veil was also left off. At half
past nine the guests enjoyed a sup
per that was noticeably elegant In
every respect, and which the
brides cake, prepared by Mrs. L. j.
Wells, was cut, attended with the
usual excitement. The guests were
then permitted to enjoy themselves
as they liked best, and the lateness
of the hour at which they dispersed
was an evidence that the occasion
had been delightful one.

beautiful presents: A flower stand,

in a satin-lined morocco case, Mr..
Jno. o. Carter; inlaid silver mono
gram pin, Mrs. Thos. j. Eldridge of
