ern in style and finish, with every variety
of architectural expression. Several of
them very similar to the new residence of
Col. Brown, in Anderson. Almost every
private residence is nestled within forest
of deep green of the orange, with its gol.
den fruit shining among the leaves.
Dark, outrageous forests of oak, pine
and magnolia, hung with the native tap

rougher voice of the male is seldom heard.
Scenery around Ocala is hammock cast,
quite different from the interminable pine
plains further North, from which the
pine forest has been cut and carried to
towns and cities.

An ENJOYABLE Occasion.

EDITORS INTELL1eENcER The social
event of the season was the marriage of
Miss Mary Mattison to Julius r. Miller
at the residence Of the brides mother, on
tie evening of the 10th inst.
Promptly at the appointed hour, many
friends OF the bride and groom assembled
at this handsome country home, which
was scene of beauty and joy. The deco
rations were elaborate, beautiful, and ar.
ranged in such artistic designs that did
credit to the young ladies, who we're sew
eral days busted in the execution. Chi
nese lanterns added beauty to the piazza
and gardens.
The bride, handsome brunette, was
strikingly beautiful in white faille francais
entrain, with pearl passementerie. A
noticeable part of the costume was me-
deci collar made entirely of pearls, which
queen, indeed. A tulle veil, fastened
with pearl pins and covering the entire
costume, completed the toilet
The groom, in full evening dress, with
pearl cOlored tie and kids, was at his best.
While Mendelssohn Wedding march was
beiug rendered by Miss Eva Baker, the
families OF the contracting parties entered
the room, followed by the bride and
groom, who stood under canopy of mis-
seltoe. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. S. Lander, after which the usual
congratulations followed. Music and
merry making was then in order, follow
ed in due time by most magnificent and
bountiful feast, which was participated in
and enjoyed by all as only such supper
can be.
The presents were numerous, useful
and handsome, and bespoke the high ap-
probation OF many friends.
Quito number remained over night,
and happiness reigned supreme until we
bade adieu to Mr.. and Mrs. Miller, who
left us for the home of the groom's 8
parents, where reception was given,
taking with them our wish that their fu.
ture may be fraught with all the joys that
life can give. B.
