toe OF expectancy since the cards were is
sued announcing that Mr.. J. NJ Portwood
and Miss Pearle Holland would be married
at the First Baptist church on February 3.
MIR. Portwood came from Fort Worth about
one year ago, and IS junior member of the
drug firm of Tucker x Portwood During
his residence here he has made an enviable
translation as business man of marked
sss6ility, and his many friends predict for
him bright future in the commercial
world. Miss Pearle was scarcely more than
school girl less than two years ago when
her father, Judge j. a. Holland, moved
here, also from Fort Worth. Since that
time she has budded forth into j most
Ss35rious young womanhood, possessed of
rare beauty, added to a cultured mind and
bright. merry, viyacious disposition, it is
no wonder that she has won so many
friends, who wish her bon voyage as she
begins her new life. The church had been
liaeautifully decorated by loving hands, and
long before the appointed hour, notwith-
standing the inclement evening, it was well
filed. At O'Clock the organ, under the
skillful touch of Rose Howard, pealed forth
the grand strains of the Wedding March,
zaad the bridal party marched up
lie right aisle, preceded by the
ushers, n. r. Morrow, R. Il. McAlpine,

Miss Margaret Summers, Mr.. A. H. Wal
lace and Miss Bessie Wolffin, and last came
the BRIDE leaning upon the arm of the
Eraom. They stood beneath an evergreen
5eh, from which was suspended the we'd
ding bell, and was pronounced man and
wife by the Rev. Bennett Hatcher in
most beautiful and impressive ceremony.
The bride, petite blonde, wore an elegant
gown of white peau de sole silk with an
elaborate embroidered front, and a bridal
Veil reaching the length OF her court train,
saarmounted by a crown of orange blossoms.
She carried in her left hand a bouquet of
fragrant white hyacinths, and looked as
dainty rs a fairy and as radiantly beautiful
as whitc-robed angel.
The bridesmaids, Misses Summers and
Wolain, were handsomely gowned i'll white
surah silk en- train, which heightened the
gbeautv of their sweet faces and but added
grace to their queenly bearing.
