ness the marriage of their daughter, Miss
Resale Bell, to Mr.. Herbert Saunders, the

white China silk en- tram and carried an eX-
0uisite bouquet of white roses and maiden
hnir fern. The bridesmaids were Miss
Nina Wilcox, of Charles City; Miss Nellie
Rice and Miss Bortie Mitchell, of Rich
mond. They wore gowns OF cream mall
made in Empire style, with cream
silk girdles, and carried bouquets of
cream roses and maiden-halr fern.
The maid of honor, Miss Mamie Saunders.
looked like a modest snOwdrOp in her
beautiful costume of white silk. Four lit
tie girls-Nannie Mitchell, Nora Waddill,
Lula Barnes, aud Oracle Christian--dressed
in white, with fern trimmings, held the
ribbons which were stretched from the
bridal arch TO the door. The groOmsmen
were Messrs. James Bell. of Charles City,
and Bailey Saunders, John BOisseau, and
William Gray, of Richmond. The eere-
mony was performed by Rev Mr.. Tyler,
of the Episcopal church. The happy cou-
pie were the recipients of many handsome
