md the people OF FAyettoville, N. W,
Inxiously watched the clouds and specu-
ated on the chances for rain, rs if every
,ody felt a personal interest in the matter.
)ut at the country house everything
ooked as usual. Any ono casually driv-
ng up through the fields Of vines past the
3reen mansion would scarcely have
imagined the extraordinary scene within.
There is nothing striking in the rambling
buildings, with their ample verandas, but
inside you are at once surrounded by
,very luxury of the city. The culture
md taste of the Green family are made
the moment their typical South
srn mansion il entered. Tho large rooms
With lofty ceilings, are full of costly paint
ings, rare volumes, statuary, elaborately
carved furniture and all the thousand and
me articles of brio. .brac which wealth
and taste enable one to gather. The IL
brary is costly one and filled with good
store Of learning and the books are all in
the most expensive bindings. The connect
ing doors of these apartments were to day
thrown open, making them en- suite. In
the parlor was canopy of smilax, trail
ing arbutus and callas upon background
of holly. The entire mansion was decorat
ed with holly, for which evergreen Mr..
Davis has particular fancy. Under this
canopy stood the bride and groom. Judge
Otto, the groom's best man, stood on the
right. Around were grouped Mrs. General
Green, Miss Sadie Green, the daughter of
the colonel MIR. and Mrs. Thatcher, Miss
Eleanor Thatcher, Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Ad.
die Burr Riddick, Miss Lizzie Cooke, the
last six from Boston, all relatives of the
family. Rev. DR.. Joseph G. Huske, rector
of st. Johns church, of Fayettvilie, read
the brief but impressive service of the
Episcopal church and the thing was over.
Five minutes would have covered the
whole ceremony. The bride Of forty years
looked fully ten years younger and the
groom of sixty. eight seemed in the prime
of life. When the ceremony was over the
bride quickly donned hat and shawl
and tho whole party in carriages
proceeded to town. At the river landing
lay the stern wheel steamer "Murchison"
Captain James G. Smith. The boat had
been especially placed at Mr.. Davis SER
vice. There was large crowd present at
the boat to see the party off. The boat
was decorated from stern to stern with
holy and cedar. A state room was spe.
cially prepared for Mr.. and Mrs. Davis.
The boat was to proceed to Wilmington
without stopping. In a few days cards
will be sent out announcing the marriage
These cards bear the words, "Mr. and
Mrs. David Davis" In the centre and in
the corner are the words, Miss Addie
E. Burr, N. c."
