Wllson-WIlds.

The old historic town OF Jones'
boro never before put on such a gala
as she did on the evening
Of the Doth inst, to celebrate the nup-
tials of Miss Kate Cazier Wilds, OF that
place, and Mr.. Samuel William Will
son, OF Johnson City, For weeks past
society has been on the qui Vipe,
and on the evening Of the Goth their
most sanguine hopes were realized.
Not only the citizens Of Miss Wild's
native city assembled at the church to
do her honor, but numerous friends
from a distance were present. The
decorations of the church were indeed
work Of art. The chancel was a
bower of maiden hair ferns and white
china asters with, everywhere, dainty
fairy lamps of delicate shades OF am
Der peeping from their hiding places
and making the scene one Of unsur-
passed loneliness.
Over the bride and groom was sus'
pended a gigantic four-leaf clover,
which was made Of the choicest white
flowers and smilax, shedding their
rich perfume over the entire church
and smiling in their cheerful simplic-
ity their wishes of "good luck" The
arrangement of this wedding was
beautiful in its originality, and one
seldom has the opportunity OF behold
ing fairer bride. The brides cos
tune was OF elegant armoure silk
hand-embroidered in exquisite style

bridal party and a few invited guest'
repaired to the home Of Mrs. W. II
