Mr.. y. t. Adams and Miss Crosby Manion
Unite Heart and Hand For All Time
"A Brilliant Event Fully De-
tailed - The Presents.

KAUFMAN, Oct. l7.-ICorrespondence.]
The most brilliant social event in the
history of Kaufman occurred last even
ing. Capt. u. r. Adams, leading mem
Der of the Kaufman county bar, and
widely known as one of the ATTEST law
yers in the state, was united in marriage
to Miss Crosby Manion, daughter of
George d. Manion, who has, for years,
been the law partner of Capt. Adams
The ceremony was performed ut the
Methodist church by Rev. II. NJ. Pow
ers, Of Terrell, assisted by Rev. O. Z.
Thomas, of this city. The church build
ing, which is a new and handsome
structure, was profusely decorated aud
presented scene of almost bewilderiug
beauty TO the many who were in atten-
dance to witness the nuptials. The
house was crowded to its utmost capaci-
tyand several OF our prominent business
men who had volunteered to act as ush-
ers for the occasion, found their duties
anything but light.
Precisely AZ $3.50 O'clock, the bridal
party entered the church. The brides
n4Filsi Misses Lena and Ada Moore,
AhAiio French and Matte Shaw, were
attended by Messrs. Byron and Monroe
Drew, George Dashell and John Graves
respectively. Mrs. w. b. Dasholl presi-
'ued at the organ and rendered a wedding
march with her accustomed taste and
skill. A portion OF the church on
either side of the altar was separated
from the audience by wreaths Of ever
green's, and little gateways of the same
material admitted a number of the
most intimate friends of the bride and
groom TO the miniature paradise within,
Among those so hOuored the reporter
noticed Mossrs. w. II. Castor and
Sawnle Robertson, OF Dallas Mr.. and
Mrs. X. II. Shaw, of Prairioyille; j. O.
Terrell, esq, of Terrell; Mr. and Mrs.
a. Il. Watkins, Capt. Gossett and Mr..
I,arkin, of Athens; w. b. Tullis, of
MI. Calm, ana Messrs. Moore, Nash,
Marshall, Allen and Pyle, of Kaufman,
besides many relatives OF the bride and
groom.
The ceremony, which was performed
according to the ritual of the Methodist
Episcopal church, was of brief dur ton,
aud the bridal party and many invited
guests immediately repaired 10 the resi-
uence OF Capt. Manion to partake of a
ieast, which, lOr luNuriant elegance, has
never been surpassed in this county,
Ihen the newly mated received the
congratulations OF their many friends
ana several hours were happily spent
Dy thoso III attendance In tho enjoy
ment OF social rocreations.
Capt. Adams is, perhaps, tho most in.
iiuential man in kaufman county, and
wherever known is respected and he
loved. His bride is one of the most
beautiful, accomplished and popular
daughters OF Kaufman, and the many
costly presents and the many letters of
cOngratulatlon from absent friends, re-
colVed by them, together with the oral
blessings so abundantly bestowed by
those who were fortunate enough to lie
personal---very. attest the esteem In which
both groom and bride arc held by those
VINO know them best. The reporter
feeis his Neakness and lack of knowl-
edge in attempting to describe the eos
TUNES of the bride aud her "maids of
honor," aud vet duty to their fair sisters,
VINO We're Fnot present, demands
that task must be at
tempted ia which the masculine
pen must Inevitably blunder. PRAYING
III advance mat we may he excused for
all mistakes Which we may make i'm a
kingdom whose mysteries are to us un-
known, we adopt the language of a
FEMININE friend in saying that the bridal
Dress consisted OF IN elegant train skirt
Oh whlte ottoman silk, with panniers OF
Whlte hrocHurd satin, trimmed i'm real
lace and seed pearl passementerlo. En-
Tire front coN red In seed pearls basque
Same as panniers, brOcads satin. Front
and neck trimmed tastily with pearl
paasemenieilo and lace. The sleeves
Were close coat-shaped TO tho elbow,

in seed pea-ls with a casrade of Lace
FALLING below elbow. Hair in coiIouir
with veil artisticallv arranged with
"'llies ofthe Valley Diamond solitaire
earrings and brooch. Gloves bazaar

The bridesmaids looked lovely In their
dresses Of blue. and pink satin, made
with pointed bodices, elbow sleeves,
square neck, filed in with tulle. The
Misses Moore wore pink satin and
Misses French and Shaw the blue.
we Will say In conclusion that we can
not say that the above IL an accurate
description. For aught we know such
costumes az we have described wore
never seen on earth. W.
merely describe them ns 4
feminine friend has described
them to MS and we have preserved hel
description over her own signature e

only say that We have never seen any
body moro beautifully attired than WA,
Hiss Crosby and her fair maids ON IN,
