Since the issuance OF invitst:ons 70
witness this solemn ceremony, Wheel
ing society has had nothing TO interest
it more. And this very naturally.
While the scribe who pens this notice
was adiured to abstain from compii-
ments and diffusiye descriptions COM
mon to newspaper men on such rare
and notable occasions, yet must ne ID
all truth declare that the tie made last
night was an event which causes praise
TO flow spontaneously. Like Wedding
the account OF which Shakespeare makes
undying:
The match were rien and honorable; besides
Ia mil of virtue, bounty, worth, and qualities
becoming such wife IS that ialr daughter.
Long before the hour set for the nup-
tiaI exercises, st. Mathews Church was
crow ded with Wheelng's leading peo'
ple, a fit audience TO lie witnes to such
happy occasion. The decorations OF the
sanctuary were oil the most tasteful ana
beautiful description. Flo@ery gates In
the centre aisle opened at the approach
of the bridal party and under an arch OF
twining tendrils OF green, and Duus oil
white, the pair were united by the I'M
pressiye rite OF the Episcopal Church
The attendants to such an ausplclous
and happy blending OF lives were Mr..
Richard Howell and Miss Libbie Greer;
DIR. S Harvey and Miss Fila Hunter;
Mr.. Frank VI. 0glebay and Miss Mamie
Moffett: Mr.. Ad Tallman and Miss Bird
Bell. The ushers we're Messrs. Walker
Peterson, Chas. Holloway, John Dun
lap and G. c. johnson. :.
1t was a beautiful wedding; typical
undoubtedly OF the beauty destined to
fill the lives OF the principals; a happy
and bright affair, foreshadowlng the
path that is already fringed with all
those requisites that 90 isrthest to make
this existence the nearest approach to
that better one OF heavenly delights.
"A reception, TO which only the rels
tives and some few intimate and warn
personal friends were invited, was held
at the Howell mansion after the mar
riage, and where a constant stream oil
congratulations and eloquent wishes for
| all the Joys earth has to give was poured
| in ON the newly married ones. That
these NAV all be realized is the hearty
hope OF this journal, and, unquestlon
ably, thousands OF its readers
The toillettes OF the bride and
lady attendants were OF wondrous
beauty and richness and remembrance
of their exquisite loveliLess is OF
smir.hed with an attempted description.
| As well paint with words the lily OF the
field, or to picture with type the beauty
OF the bride, such war Of red and white
within her cheeks was made.
The presents from friends formed
magnificent array. They seemed a Gull
| ing OF the richest and most appropriate
articles of every kind, and mutely testl
fed to the warm place held in the hearts
OF hundreds for this happily united
pair.
They left on the II o'clock train on
the B. Il o. last night for trip through
the West, and in this, their first jour
ney together, follow the PRAYERS, the
kindly bon royage and heartfelt good
wishes OF city OF people.
