Church, of this city, was the scene
of a pretty high-noon wedding last
Wednesday, that of Miss Lillian l..
Neer, daughter of Mr.. John Neer to
Mr.. VIM. Harper, successful drug
gist of Hagerstown. The pastor,
Rev. J. W Hunaley. performed the
ceremony in excellent style. There
was large audience of friends and
well wishers, and the altar Was hand
somely covered with ported ceramic
ums, lilies, etc.
The bridal couple entered On time
and proceeded up the aisle in the
following order: Ushers, q S. G..
Pitzer, John Neer. John Irving, of
Hagerstown and Clifford Moore of
Harrisburg; maid of homer, Miss
Ada Evans, of Chambersburg; best
man, Mr.. John Kerby, of Harris
burg; bride and groom. Mr.. Al
bert Darby rendered an appropriate
wedding march.
The bride was dressed in cream
baille. trimmed with Duchess lace,
caught with lilies of the valley and
smilax. and wore a long sweeping
bridal veil. She also carried large
boquet of hyacinths and lilies of the
valley, and looked very pretty.
Miss Evans wore lemon colored
crepe dechene, trimmed with white
chiffon and chrysanthemums.
The groom and his attendants
wore black, with the exception of
white vests and hyacinth blue ties.
A grand reception was given at
the BRIDES home, where many con-
CALCULATIONS and handsome presents
were received by the bride and
groom. They left on their bridal
tour on the 3:l5 G. V. train for
Philadelphia. They will make Hag-
erstown their future home.
We wish them happiness, comfort
and long life-such as two happy
young folks shoul. ever enjoy.
