"A f
/ The elite of our elegant society
i were assembled at the Presbyterian
church, on last Thursday evening
at o'clock, to witness the solemn
lzing of the marriage VOWS between
DIR. Munford w. Ellis, of Guntown
Miss, and Miss Sallie L. Anderson,
/ of this city.
The groom is a prominent young
physician of the above named place
and has already won a name and
distinction in the ranks of his pro-
fession.
The bride is too well known and
esteemed for her many admirable
qualities of both head and heart,
among the social circles of the city,
to need special mention by us.
The church was profusely adorned
with floral devices of rare and UNI
common beauty. A large cataract
of the lovliest flowers, topped off by
a crown of calla lilies, decked the
chancel, while, at the head OF each
aisle, floral arches of evergreens and
many c0lored roses, under which
the bridal party had to pass, lent
fragrance and Il charm to the auspi-
cious occasion. The windows were
darkened and the brilliancy of gas
light added to the beauty and SOL
emnity of the happy affair. Prof.
Caldwell presided at the massive
organ and entertained the fasiona-
bic and expectant audience with a
few selections while the arrival of
the wedding party was awaited.
A few moments after the APP
pointed time, ripple of excitement
among the audience told their APP
proach, and they entered the church
in the order named: Messrs. S. E.
Wilson and B. M. DeGraffenreid,
Misses Mary Campbell and Mary
Macrae; Messrs. Harvey Hogg and
A. t. Byars, Misses Jennie Bailey
and May Jordan; Messrs. g. G.
Martin and Louis Anderson, Misses
Carrie Anderson and Mamie By
ars.
The groom and bride came last
and marching up the right hand
ailse took their stand facing the
audience and beneath an exquisite
floral canopy, composed of white
flowers.
The bride was adorned in cream
colored null, with Spanish lace
over-dress; her veil caught in place
by wreath of orange blossoms
ornaments, pearls.
The bridesmaids costumes were
also of null, and the groom and
groomsmen looked stately and
handsome in the customary full
dress suits. Rev. j. w. Lupton
performed the brief marriage cere-
mony and the party retired from
the church to the sweet strains of
one of Tannahauser's thrilling we'd
ding marches.
The bridal party repaired to the
home of the BRIDES uncle, Mr.. S.
b. Seat, where delicate and delicious
refreshments were served in the
most tasteful manner. The happi-
ly welded pair left on the o'clock
train for their future home in Mis-
sissippi, whence they carry with
them the many prayers and sincere,
earnest wishes of a thousand friends
for their lasting happiness.
