of wingless-angcls has rarely congre-

gathered u witness the Same old Ger.
emony that has been handed down for
ages up0u ages, yet has lost none Of
its igterst.
shortly after . O'clock, Miss Mamie
uubbcll seated herself ut. the piano
aud played the Wedding March; tic
candidates tor matrimonial hOnvrs,
preceded by six young lady attendants,
appeared 10 the center of the south
parlor before Eld. J. L. Dunn, the man
Of God who was 10 legally biud To-
getler the lives of Miss Matnic Garner
and q. NJ Nesle. 4 prayer was offered
ap for the future happiness of the
young couple. the usual impressive
ceremony followed-and hearty con-
gratulations were extended.
The bride looked lovely iu her robe
of cream white satin, embossed velvet
and lace. The basque aud train OF
the toilet was OF satin. the front and
vest was ,t brocade velvet. the vest
outlined with Duchess trimming lace
arranged en- tbot with delicate fes-
toons OF smilal; and orange blossoms
across. The tulle veil. unhemmed,
was arranged with half wreath of
orange blossoms and fell gracefully to
tte lower edge of the skirt, leaving the
face and hands free.
The groom was neatly attired in the
conventional suit that groons are re-
stricted to, and looked manly and
proud of the prize he had won. The
attendants were rs follows: Miss
Sallie Garner, pink satin with white
null overlress, diamond ornaments;
Miss Jessie Garner; sky blue satin
and nuns yelling: Miss Jennie Garner,
peach bloom brocade satin, crystal.
beaded front with iEscurial lace; Miss
Genie Brown. ice-blue brocadc satin.
Spanish lace, diamond ornaments; Miss
Annie Neal. pink nuns yelling
trimmed in pompadour lace; Miss
Jennie Smith, salmon-colored brocade
satin. The costumes were very pretty
and becoming.
After congratulations I'm elegant re-
past was parlaked of by the guests.
In the north parlor the presents
were displayed. As will be observed
the souvenirs of love and friendship
embraced the beautiful, the ornamen-
tai and the more useful.
At 5 o'clock the bride and groom
were conveyed to the depot, where
they took the Wabash for st. Louis.
and from there will 20 TO New Orleans.
Returning, they will take up their
residence in Lexington.
Thus have we hurriedly recorded
the plucking from Richmond's boquet
of beauty one of its sweetest flowers,
aud may heavens brightest smiles
warm their hearts with that lasting
love that never grows old.
