A FASHIONABLE WEDDING.
Brilliant Nuptials Of Mr.. Jas
H. Anderson and Miss
Annie Waller.

o'clock Tuesday evening, August II.
The ceremony took place in the Bap-
fist church, the pastor, Rev. Rev. j.
N. Prestridgc, being the officiating
clergyman. The church was COM
fortably filled with the friends of the
contracting parties. There was not
the usual crush, as invitations were
issued only to such as were expected
to attend.
The decorations were very elabo-
rate. A background of cvergreens
was arranged with consummate skill
and taste aud an archway of cedar
and flowers spanned the pulpit. Sus-
pended from this was a marriage
bell of cedar and daisies. The altar
in front Of the organ was of ever
greens and flowers or various colors,
including beautiful August lily in
the center covered with buds and
blossoms. Ferns and grasses were
intermingled and a large basket of
flowers and grasses stood OH either
corner of the stand. The pulpit was
covered with carpet of white and
the whole presented a most pleasing
appearance.
