EDITOR BULLBTIE:--Through the !
weary waste Of life We occasionally |
come in contact with scenes and events /
that for the time dispol our gloom and |
melancholy and cast around halo Of
sunshine and happiness, slmest mex
pressible. On the evening Of the |
10th inst, it Was oar privilege to At |
tend the wedding nuptials Of Mr.. IL |
T. g. HankIey and Miss Alice Gordon.
Twilight had vanished, and the SOM
b's shades of night were fast gather
ing, ere we reached the residence
Of the hospitable Mr.. VIM. Gordcn,
and We feared We would be too late to
witness tho happy transit from single
life to cOnjugal Hiss. Upon nearing
the residence, the merry voices of the
gathering throng could he heard, while
the brilliant lights shown with res
plendent Examinations, and altogeth-
OF reminding the imagination of R
FAIRY Dance" in come enchanted
dell" Welll yoU can realize our JOY
When We tell yeu that not only we're
We in time to witness the consuma-
ton Of the marriage VOWS, but also
70 be an ample partaker Of one of the
most exquisite sappers our digestive
apparatus ever had the honor to com
pliment, but behold! just before this
/ scene Of complimentary illusions for
| which We were "Ad utrumque para
t,ss." the God Of silence commanded
4uietuls, and Mt this juncture the noble
pair presented themselves at Hymon's
shrine. Fair Alice, the bonnie bride,
| reminded Us Of HomeI's Venus the
daughter of Jupiter and Diana.
Mover did Goddess Of ancient Greece
command more graces than she.
The ress-hushed, cheek, and snowy
brow as pare as driven fakes of snow,
and with those mellow eyes of spark
ling love and beauty, rendered her an
gelic form most magpifcently superb;
| while beside her stood tho bridegroom;
the proud and triumphant Apollo;
the eonquerer of Mercury and AdonIs;
| Ahl yes and Vulcan too! Full we'll
hO realized the elimination Of his
cherished hopes; and as the "Fates"
united their 'sonls in one" the chords
Of his manly heart thrilled in silent
alteration. Those bearing special
hcnors in the bridal train wers: Mr..
Emmett Newsome and Miss Emma
Doyle, Nr. r. o. Bishop aud Miss
Katie Boucher, Mr.. Thomss Jones
snd Miss Maggie Eeedhan, Mr. ".
| C.INcedham and Miss II. J. Eswssme.
Rev. VIM. Norment, of Whiteville,
was the officiating Clergyman.
| After the USUAL congratulations, s.
most delicious repsst WAS served.
The long tablo was richly decorated
with Ambrosial fruits, ahd palatable
doiIcacies too numero1s to mention.
Prominent among either enjoynbles
Of the occasioa we might mention
F Alex Jasper & Co., who operated as
expert professionals upon the shoat,
mutton, and WE'LL believe they
call it boiled custard After supper
the guy throng resolved itself into
in conversational party characterized
with those flashes Of Wit and repartee
AZ usual with such conversations Of
chivairy and intelligence. We we're
net present, but understand that g
grand dining was given at the req
dence Of the bridegroom the follow
ing evening We have no other
special news to report at present
Money scarce But little sickness
No deaths. Doctors betting on ia
lures with strong hopes Of success.
