the Marriage OF w, IL. Prtco anu mis-
Laura n. Cooper Brilliant AMIR.
One Of the most brilliant. events IN
the history Of Baxter was the marriage
of Mr.. w. Z. Price and Miss Laura M
Cooper at the M. E. church Wednes-
day evening, Nov. l6. 1t was chrys-
anthemum wedding and the church
was most beautifully and appropri.
ately decorated; In fact II presented
the appearance Of beautiful flower
garden. The entire pulpit was
thronged with an immense profusiOn
Of natural flowers and house plants,
aud the largo arch In front Of the altar
was tastefully arrayed in evergreen
aud trimmed with various shades Of
autumn leaves, from the center OF
which hung the bridal bell, made OF
white chrysanthemum blossoms.
At 1880 o'clock some 300 Of the In
viled guests had been seated in the
church by the geatlemanly ushers,
Messrs. Alex. Warner and Linden
Willis, and as the wedding march
beautifully rendered by Mrs. Chas. E.
Collins, nee Blanche Gregg,) began
the happy couple, preceded by Mr..
Frank ID. Price, brother of the groom,
as best man, and Miss Julia Hunter,
bridesmaid, marched up the aisle to
the altar. The bridal party was met
under the arch by the Rev. NJ. E.
Bramhall, who, in his usual easy, elo-
quent and impressive manner, pro-
nounced the words which made w. E.
Price and Laura NJ. Cooper husband
and wife.
The ceremony was brief, but most
beautiful, and being delivered in that
easy, off-hand manner, for which Rev.
Bramhall is famous, won him many
praiseworthy comments.
The bride was The picture OF lowell
hess and was tastefully attired in crys-
tai silk, trimmed in chiffon lace, with
pearl pendant corsage and boquet Of
Marechal Neil rosebuds.
Miss Hunter, the bridesmaid, also
looked charming in albatross, with
chiffon lace and feather trimmings.
After the ceremony some seventy
five or more of the most intimate
guests, led by the bride and groom,
repaired to the spacious residence OF
The brides parents OH River street
where a most elegant reception was
given aud congratulations rendered
the happy couple. The residence was
very tastefully decorated and every
thing harmonized with the gay and
happy throng there assembled. The
guests were served with a most ele-
giant repasl, and all agree that it was
an event long to be remembered.
The bride and groom are too well
known throughout this section to take
up space in giving their many good
qualifications. They are among the
leaders of society and their friends are
numbered by the score.
Miss Cooper is the eldest daughter
of John NJ. Cooper, leading mer-
chant of Baxter these many years, and
is a most estimable, beautiful and ac-
complished young lady.
Mr.. Price ia young man of good
business qualifications, and for num-
Der of years has held various positions
Of trust with the Memphis railroad
and Adams express companies. He
has of late built up lucrative trade
in the drug business IN partnership
with G. S. McFadden.
While the young society people
mourn the loss of two Of their bright.
est stars, they have consolation in
knowing that both displayed good
taste in the selecting Of life partner.
