Smith Faulkner.

On the evening OI december Zftn,
at 1880 o'clock, at the Christian church
in this place, Mr.. j. D. Smith, of Dry
Fork, KY, was married to Miss Lillian
Faulkner, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. P, Faulkner. The nuptial knot
was tied by Elder H. L. Walling, and
the attendants were: Mr.. j. F. Smith
and Miss Ella Walling, Mr. james
Walling and Miss Ella Smith, Mr.. S.
A. Billingsly and Miss Emma Putnam,
Mr.. S. T. O'Neal and Miss Sallie
Young. Ushers-A. j. Denton, G.
T. Thurman.
The church was handsomely decora
ted for the occasion. A grand arch
spanned the pulpit stand; mammoth
horseshoe swung under the arch, and
in this was suspended the wedding bell,
all beautifully worked in evergreens
and flowers. The attendants took their
positions on the sides of the stand, the
contracting parties took position imme-
diately under the bell, while just in
front and little to either side of them
stood two beautiful little girls, Annie
Lee, the youngest sister of the
bride, and Matte May Hubble-at>
tired with fairy-like loveliness, and
each bearing basket of flowers. The
little girls preceded the bride and
groom down the aisle in their exit,
strewing their pathway with flowers.
The dress of the bride was of white
satin, en- train, and combined every
effect of beauty and elegance ; further
than this our limited knowledge of the
mysteries and technicalities of the art
of the modiste will not permit US to
comment.
The reception at The hospitable home
of the brides parents, which followed
the ceremony at the church, was at
tended by large number of the rela-
tives and friends of the bride, and was
one Of the most pleasant affairs in
which it has been our good fortune to
participate in long time. After an
hour or more spent in congratulations
and animated conversation, supper was
announced, and words are inadequate
to express the magnifcence of the feast
which was spread. The hearty man
ner in which all the guests partook Of
the supper attested their appreciation
of this feature of the evenings enter
; tainment. Every delicacy the hear
Z could wish was served in the most SUI
perb manner.
