THE NuPTIAL KNOT.
Plighting Of Vows at Hymsn's Altar
Between Mr.. Rose and
Miss Martin.

Miss Martin.
According to announcement last
week the marriage of Mr.. S. E. F.
Rose, the handsome and accomoda-
ting cashier of the Giles National
Bank, to the beautiful and accom-
plished Miss Laura Martin, occurred
at the elegant home of Mrs. j. E.
Rodes, the latter's aunt, on last
Thursday, the 10th inst, at high
noon. A large number of the
friends and relatives of the contract
ing parties drove out from town to
witness the long expected event
When the folding doors of the
double parlor were thrown open
there was revealed to the assembled
guests one of the handsomest couples
we ever saw under similar or any
circumstances. The brides dress
was probably the most beautiful
that was ever worn in Pulaski-at
any rate in q long time-and to ap-
preciate it fully it was absolutely
necessary to see it, 1t was made of
elegant MarYeilleur cream satin,
with q train that was simply i'm
mense. The front was almost OBJ
scured by a complete network OF
pearls, on either side of which was
pearl passamenterie, trimmed with
silk and satin. In place of the con-
ventional veil was substituted a
vatican of tulle, beginning at the
neck and extending to the train, the
garniture of which was lilies of the
valley and pearls. She wore point
lace Bernhardt ruff embroidered
with pearls. Her ornaments were
diamonds. The groom on whose
arm this lovely bride leaned was a
picture of gallantry in his full even
ing dress.
The decorations of the halls and
parlors were in perfect keeping with
the exquisite taste of the inmates
of Crescent Vue," and on every
side we were greeted with the per
fume Of sweet scented flowers and
rare exotics. In the parlor where
the bridal couple were first seen and
where stood the array of handsome
presents, were festoons of evergreens
suspended from either corner to the
center, to the ends of which was at
tached beautiful swinging basket.
The portraits on the walls were
decorated, and the one that most
attracted our attention was that of
the brides mother hanging directly
opposite the position of the bride
and groom. 1t was noticeable what
special pains were taken to make it
look more beautiful than all the rest.
When the ceremony, which was
performed by Rev. D. L. Wilson in
the most impressive and happy style,
was ended, then followed hearty
congratulations and sincere good
wishes. The guests were then sum-
moned to the Dining room, and
partook of refreshments, and to this
feature of the occasion the writer
paid particular attention, and he is
honest in saying he was never per
mitted to look upon a scene more
beautiful to the eye or tempting to
the appetite. A colossal cake on
either end of the table showed that
they were the work of an artist who
was au fat. The pyramid of tropi-
cal fruits in the center of the table
was an object of universal admira-
ton and comment, and every thing
else was in keeping with it.
Mr.. Rose has been cashier of the
Giles National Bank for several
years, and everybody knows him to
be courteous and obiging in bust
ness circles, as well as polite and
affable in his social relations with
the people, and from our personal
knowledge of him we can say he is
a gentleman well calculated and able
to make a loving and devoted hus-
band. Miss Martin is a young lady
of brilliant intellect and gifted with
many accomplishments and charms,
and the home and life of Mr.. Rose
will be all the more brilliant on ac-
count of her presence and all the
more happy because of her love-
We mingle our congratulations with
those of their many friends, and
pray that each day Heaven sends to
them may be as fraught with happi-
ness as was the goth day of October,
1881.
