The marriage Oh MI james ~. NOR
feet prominent young business man Of
Winston. to Miss Mamie Mitchell Wal
g,rof this city-loOked forward to for
,,eaE- A. an event in social circles-was
.,,cmniIcd this evening at six o'clock,
Prv. r. G. Beaman assisted by Rev. Alex
Walker, officiating.
The intention Of Miss Walker to have |
apriyatc marriage, when made known,
caused general disappointment among
her friends, many of whom were thus
dcbarrcd the privilege Of Witnessing the
ccrcmony. The fact that Trinity church
va, undergoing repairs and that Miss
Walker preferred not knecling at a
strange altar to register vows, the most
sacred Of her life, led 10 the choice Of a
home marriage, witnessed only by i'm
mediate relatives and friends Of the two
families.
\ GLOBE reporter who dropped in for
points" an hour or two before the cere-
onv, found the Walker residence on
Ramscur street the scene Of much pleas
urablc excitement and customary tluttcr
Of happy expectancy incident upon such
occasions.
\ crowd of busy workers busy ar
ranging banks of flowers wherever a
corner could be secured for background
filled the rooms, and a subtle OdOr sug-
gcstive Of rose gardens and magnolia
Wales perme ated the air and pervaded the
apartments.
ON the right of the hall which was
done in pink, the stair case, rail and ban
iscrs being a winding mass Of pink
roses and ivy leaves, was the "White
Room'-the room in which were to be
history Of two human lives-whiCh were
60 50 far in shaping the destiny of
those who uttered them. In one corner
Of this bridal bower was a pyramid OF
white roses and feathery ferns, and
rising yet above these were stately
palms together forming a beautiful as
well as suggestive picture. In front OF
these was a soft white rug and on this an
altar Of white goat skins. The mante
was bank of cream white magnolias
and below these were ferns and roses a:
with the corner piece.
The dining room was done in th'
same manner, except that only yellow
flowers were used. The souvenirs whicl
were gems Of art, were panses and hell
otropc fastened with yellow satin rib
bon on one side of which was the dat'
June :, '92,' and on the other IN.
W These were the work of Misse
Lizzie Cheatham and Cora Ramsey, loca
artists Of we'll known ability.
During the ceremony the bridal Iai
stood under a love knot of Marsh;
Neil and bridal roses which hung sus
pended from the ceiling, facing the tior'
corner piece and under the shadow {
the waving palms.
The bride wore a handsome travelin
costume of fawn colored cloth with dar
trimmings.
Miss Halle Walker as maid of homo
and Mr. Robert y Norteet best man wei
the only attendants.
After the ceremony refreshments We
served and Mr.. and Mrs Norfleet left c
the evening train for an extended Yves
ern trip before taking up their residen'
in Winston, their future home.
The presents were exceptionally han
some and too numerous to attempt {
enumeration. Everything in the cat
louge OF bridal gifts, from silver t
service to hair pin holder, alike fro
large and small friends, bore ample al
lnd!spu,able testimony to the POPULAR
OF Miss Walker and good wishes f
Mrs, Norheet.
IHE GLOBE congratulates Mr.. Norf1e
anu wishes for the young couple th
Wey may never find anything but ros
as they jog along on the rocky old tur
pike called life.
