the building to its utmost capacity. The
occasion was the marriage of Mr. William

Fannie Blanche Moore, second daughter
of Mrs Mary \. Moore, of Green Cove.
The church was beautifully decorated
with Spanish moss, magnolia leaves, yell

beauty, being first covered with moss
and finished with a profusion of Easter
lilies, the most beautiful of Florida wild

beautiful in shape, and the delicious odor,
delicate as that Of the violet, filled the
building with their delicious perfume.
From the top of the arch hung the letters
NJ. and s. The pulpit was decorated very
much as the altar was.

leaves, giving most pleasing effect, en-
twined with yellow jessamine, which
gave life and color to the palms.

which was also beautifully decorated. In
fact, it was the general verdict that no

occasion.
