A Merry wedding Mt Low Moor.

Low MOOR, September 81, 1886.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
On Wednesday evening last Mr.. I.
G. Black, Of Fluvsnna county, and
Mics Rosa Gertrude Damewood, OF Al
leghapy county, were married at the
home Of the bride. Promptly at 8
O'Clock the bridal party, consisting Of
the bride and groom, six bridesmaids,
and as many groomsmen, marched into
the spacious parlor, in the centre OF
which hung large and beautiful bell
OF eyergreens, dotted with the purely
suggestive snow.drop, beneath which
the bride and groom stood while the
ceremony was performed by Rev. 4.
W. McCorkle, of the Presbyterian
church.
The bridesmaids were Misses Laura
Damewood (sister OF the bride), Rosa
Gibson, Emma Bridget, Blanche Open
chain, George and Adie Williams.
They wore short toilets Of white tulle
and carried large bouquets Of hello
trope and roses. The bride wore q
charming toilet of m-colored nuns
yelling and carried pretty bouquet of
white roses tied with white ribbon, the
gift of her most intimate friend, Mrs.
Willis Williams. B. j. Shirley served
as usher. The groomsmen were Messrs.
j. @. Brock, of Gordonsville Charles
Damewood (brother Of the bride), Jesse
Weeks, Charles Sailor, Edward j.
Shirley, and Silas L. Smith. The youth
and beauty of Allegheny and Botetourt
counties were we'll represented.
After the usual congratulations all
were invited to the diniDg.room, where
the tables fairly grosned under the
weight Of the many good estables that
bring Joy to the inner man and a smile
on the face of him who never smiled be-
fore.
The floral decorations were very
graceful, and too much cannot be said
of Mrs. Spot. King, Mrs. Fannie
Shirley, and Miss Mollie Rowan, who
arranged the flowers and managed the
dining-room. And now for the fate of
that evergreen bell A: A Sailor natu-
