Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1882-03-04

Mr.. Thos. McReynolds and Miss
Matte Moore first walked in on my
right and running round to my left
then followed Mr.. Wilson and Miss
| Sue Roberts; then Mr.. Walter
Brandon and Miss Lucy Caldwell
then Mr.. George McCurdy and Miss
Kate Richardson; then Mr.. James
Roberts and Miss Lizzie Ramey
then Mr.. Will. DAILY and Miss
Laura Edmondson. This formed a
complete crescent, then followed
Mr.. Sam B. Daily with his beautiful
bride, Miss Emma Edmondson,
taking their position between the
two points of the crescent fronting
the preacher in the center; there
and then they pledged their fidel-
| ity to each other for life.
The bridal party were beautifully
dressed, they will never look so
| well again, unless it is on-a similar
occasion.
The bride was dressed in "dregs
of wine colored cashmere" and
pearl necklace; that couple will
never look any better than they
did on that night.
There3was but one jar on the &C.
casion, and don't know but that
frightened the interest of the occa-
sion, and that was this; Mr.. -,
well / had like to have called his
name, but modesty forbids it. i
will say that he is nice gentleman
and most anybody would have
Jared in the same way. Well, this
was the occurrence. Will Daily is
so much like his brother Sam that
you can hardly tell them apart,
Will was one of the walters and
Mr.. -, Icame very near calling
his name again, was another, so
when the ceremony was performed
then congratulations set in, and
Mr.. went up and grasped the
hand of Will DAILY thinking he was
the bridegroom, and congratulated
him with nice words and many
compliments. The above is what
some of the walters told me / did
not see it. Soon supper was an
nounced and the party moved to
the dining room, and it was a mag
niffcent table, beautifully decorated
and richly ladened with everything
that was good to eat. Cousin Collin
Roberts sit at one end of the table
and the preacher at the other, then
L began to see the philosophy of
cousin Collins fasting all day. He
took one cup of coffee, then passed
it for the second, and some lady
passed by him and saw his cup
empty with some few coffee grounds
in the bottom of the cup. She said
that was not good cup of coffee
and you shall have another cup,
and he did not object and the third
cup came, and everything that was
presented to him by the walters, he
would ask, what is it? they would
tell him, and he would say yes |
will take some. His appetite was
sharp, his will good and his capac-
ity perfectly competent for the oc-
easion. He knows what a first
class wedding supper means, and 1
must say / correspond with him in
all these things, yes, I duplicate
this whole bill except the three cups
of coffee.
Brother and sister Edmondson
know how to get up feast of the
very first order, and to make every
body feel at home.
The bridal presents were very
literally given, and they were very
fine, showing the high appreciation
of her friends. The presents were
literally piled up in the parlor, and
several others that could not be got
ten over the river from GAINESVILLE
on the account of high water, but
they are in waiting.
May the future be one of happi-
ness to Samuel and Emma, and no
less to the whole party. When
shall we all meet again?
Our second Quarterly meeting
was last Saturday and Sunday at
Salem. DR.. Hargrove, the Presi-
ding Elder, was with us, he preach
ed us two fine sermons. He goes
through the business Of the Quar-
terly Conference like man plow-
ing with a two horse South-bend
pillow, he breaks all the ground, he
leaves no item neglected. May he
live hundred years yet.
Yours,
B. M. STEPHENS.
